Functional Analysis II

Lecturers & Examiners: Prof. em. Dr. Marc Burger
Only for ETH D-MATH doctoral students and for doctoral students from the Institute of Mathematics at UZH. The latter need to send an email to Jessica Bolsinger ( ) with the course number. The email should have the subject „Graduate course registration (ETH)“.

Abstract

Sobolev spaces, weak solutions of elliptic boundary value problems, basic results in elliptic regularity theory (including Schauder estimates), maximum principles.

Objective

Acquire fluency with Sobolev spaces and weak derivatives on the one hand, and basic elliptic regularity on the other. Apply these methods for studying elliptic boundary value problems.
