Distribution Theory and Sobolev spaces with Applications
About
About the course
Course content
The course is given every other year, next time Spring 2011, assuming enough students register for the course. If too few students register, the course will be given as "ledet selvstudium".
The course give an introduction to mathematical methods and structures fundamental for the study of partial differential equations, varitional calculus, etc. Furthermore, the course is useful in order to obtain a fundamental knowledge of numerical methods.
The following topics are covered: Distribution theory, Sobolov spaces, functional analysis, compactness arguments, and error estimates. Selected topics.
Learning methods and activities
lectures, possibly guided self-study.
Recommended previous knowledge
The couse assumes prior knowledge in real analysis (Lebesgue's integration theory), and it is an advantage with some background in partial differential equations.
Course materials
Will be given at the beginning of the semester.
