Course description and aims

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.

Student learning outcomes

Understanding of fundamental methods in nonlinear functional analysis and their applications to nonlinear partial differential equations

Keywords

Nonlinear analysis, fixed point theorems, degree theory, variational method method and bifurcation theory

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. Occasionally I will give problems for reports.
