Contents

From [MAT-70-12A-K-7] Introduction to the Theory of Sobolev Spaces:
  • extension of integration theory (convergence theorems, Lp-spaces, partial integration),
  • construction of Sobolev spaces,
  • analysis in Sobolev spaces (convolution, Dirac sequences, partition of unity, dense sets of functions),
  • applications to partial differential equations (Poincaré inequality, fundamental lemma of calculus of variations, weak formulation of boundary problems),
  • Sobolev embedding theorems and trace operator.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have gained in-depth knowledge of a subfield of functional analysis with applications to partial differential equations (PDE). They understand how Sobolev spaces are constructed and can apply and critically evaluate important methods and concepts of analysis to Sobolev spaces. Moreover, they are familiar with applications of the theory of Sobolev spaces to PDE. They understand the proofs presented in the lecture and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can outline the conditions and assumptions that are necessary for the validity of the statements.

By completing the given exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and techniques taught in the lecture. In addition, they have learnt how to apply these techniques to new problems, analyze them and develop solution strategies independently or by team work.
