In this lecture we study Banach and Hilbert spaces and linear operators between them. The focus is on infinite-dimensional spaces and examples include function and sequence spaces. Linear operators on such spaces arise in the formulation and solution of integral and differential equations, and the development of Functional Analysis in the 20th century has been intimately linked to the modern theory of such equations.
Functional Analysis as a "common language" is the basis for advanced studies in a number of fields such as partial differential equations, numerical analysis, mathematical physics, and a lot more.
The topics we shall study in this lecture include
- metric spaces (notions of topology, compactness)
- continuous linear operators on Banach spaces
- uniform boundedness principle and open mapping theorem
- Hilbert spaces, orthonormal bases, Sobolev spaces
- Dual spaces, Hahn-Banach and Banach-Alaoglu theorems, weak convergence, reflexivity
- compact linear operators.
Prerequisites: Analysis I-III, Linear Algebra I-II
Exercise sheets
Examination
Written exam is taking place at 20th March 2019, 11:00-13:00
