Functional Analysis (4V, 2Ü) Prof. Wachsmuth, Dr Mehlitz

Attention

Please register for this module via Moodle before the start of the semester. Due to the current infection situation, the courses may be held in digital form.

Contents

This course teaches the basics of (linear) functional analysis. In particular, we will cover the following points:

  • Metric spaces
  • Banach and Hilbert spaces, Lp-spaces, Sobolev spaces
  • Linear continuous operators
  • Linear functionals, dual spaces, the Hahn-Banach theorem
  • Principle of uniform boundedness, closed graph theorem, continuous inverse theorem, open mapping theorem
  • Fredholm theory
  • Spectral theory

Associated module: 11303; Further information and working materials for the module will be provided via Moodle.

Prior knowledge

Basic knowledge of analysis, linear algebra and measure theory (as covered in the stochastics lecture).

Exercises

In the course of the semester, we will provide you with exercise sheets for the course here.

Examination

In order to take a module examination, an oral examination takes place after the lecture period. The list of possible exam questions can be helpful in preparing for the exam.

Supplementary literature

The following books are a good supplement to the lecture, in particular they also contain many exercises and further material. They are available free of charge as e-books at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg (see links) and some are available in the library.
