This course is concerned with fundamental methods in the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. More concretely, I will explain introductory topics from fixed point theorems, degree theory, variational method and bifurcation theory.
This course is following Advanced topics in Analysis E1.
Understanding of fundamental methods in nonlinear functional analysis and their applications to nonlinear partial differential equations
Nonlinear analysis, fixed point theorems, degree theory, variational method method and bifurcation theory
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
