Course description and aims

We discuss the variational mothods for the elliptic partial differential equations, and introduce some important methods such as the mountain pass lemma and concentration compactness principle.
This course follows Advanced courses in Analysis A.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to understand the variational methods to show the existence of the solutions of elliptic partial differential equations.

Keywords
