Main subjects of this course are nonlinear functional analysis and its application to elliptic partial differential equations.
Beginning with several fundamental results in (linear) functional analysis applied to linear partial differential equations, we learn fixed point theorems, topological degree and their applications to nonlinear partial differential equations.
This course is followed by Advanced topics in Analysis B1.
