Course description and aims

This course gives a lecture on the theory of geometric variational problems, with a special emphasis on the theory of elastic curves. This course will be completed with "Advanced topics in Analysis F" in the next quarter.

The aim of this course is to learn some aspects of geometric variational problems through applications to the theory of elastic curves.

Student learning outcomes

・To be familiar with the theory of elastic curves.
・To understand general theory of geometric variational problems.

Keywords

variational analysis, geometric analysis, theory of curves and surfaces, differential equation, elastic curve

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This is a standard lecture course. There will be some assignments.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 The following topics will be covered: -- Review of Sobolev spaces -- Direct method in calculus of variations -- Euler-Lagrange equation and multiplier method -- Applications to concrete problems including elastic curves -- Classical theory and recent developments on elastic curves Details will be provided in class.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
