Abstract

The course will focus on the study of fundamental functional analysis methods relevant to the analysis of Partial Differential Equations and harmonic analysis.

Objective

The goal of this class is to acquire the fuctional analysis competences needed for the study of function spaces and operators arising in particular in the analysis of Partial Differential Equations and harmonic analysis.
