The main subject of this course is overdetermined problems for elliptic partial differential equations.
We learn its variational structure, a characterization by quadrature identity for harmonic functions, and a dynamical approach.
This course is following Advanced courses in Analysis C.
Understanding of the basic theory of overdetermined problems for elliptic partial differential equations
elliptic partial differential equations, overdetermined problems, variational methods, analytic semigroups

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
