Course description and aims

The boundary value problem of Poisson's equation is mainly discussed. The course begins with the explicit representation of solutions in some special cases, then introduces fundamental facts such as the mean value property and the maximum principle, and finally reach at the existence and the uniqueness of classical solutions.
This course is continuous with Advanced courses in Analysis B.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to understand the existence, uniqueness and fundamental properties of solutions of linear elliptic partial differential equations.

Keywords

Laplace's equation, Poisson's equation, boundary value problem, Perron's method
