Institut für Angewandte Mathematik
Lecture in Winter Term 2020/21
Advanced Functional Analysis
Content

Lecture course covers various topic on unbounded operators and their spectral properties. In particular, we will treat the following topics:

  • Closed operators
  • Spectrum, resolvent
  • Symmetric and self-adjoint operators
  • Spectral theorem
  • Forms. Representation theorem.
  • Applications: self-adjoint differential operators and their spectral properties

Lecture
Exercises
  • Dr. Markus Holzmann
  • The schedule for the exercise classes can be found in the TUGonline
  • Criteria for successful completion of the exercises:
    • 50% of the votes,
    • two successful presentations at the blackboard of voted problems
    • one half of the final mark is constituted by the votes and the other half by the presentations
    • after two times voting for an exercise class students will get a grade
  • If the exercise classes can not be done in the seminar room at the University due to the Covid 19 situation, the exercise class will be streamed via Webex.
  • Online-Kreuzerlsystem
  • Exercise sheets: Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, Sheet 4, Sheet 5, Sheet 6, Sheet 7
