Contents

From [MAT-70-14-K-7] Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications to PDE:
From the large field of nonlinear functional analysis, methods and techniques are discussed which play a central role in the investigation of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. In particular, the following contents are discussed:
  • fixed point theorems,
  • integration and differentiation in Banach spaces,
  • the theory of monotone operators and their applications in the study of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students master advanced methods and techniques, which play a central role especially in the analysis and solution of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. They have also gained in-depth knowledge of the interaction and mutual influence of the theory and its applications. They are able to name the main propositions of the lecture, classify and explain the illustrated connections.

By studying concrete examples, they have gained a precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and methods of the lecture. They understand the proofs and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can critically assess, what conditions are necessary for the validity of the statements.
