Spectral theory generalizes the theory of eigenvalues and normal forms of matrices to infinite dimensional operators on function spaces such as differential and integral operators. It provides an essential technique for many areas of applications such as partial differential equations, mathematical physics and numerical analysis.
We will cover
- spectra and resolvents of linear (unbounded) operators,
- the spectral theory of compact operators and the Fredholm alternative,
- the functional calculus of self-adjoint operators,
- the holomorphic functional calculus of sectorial operators,
- the Cauchy problem for sectorial operators.
This lecture will prepare for further courses or seminars on deterministic and stochastic evolution
equations.
Prerequisites
We assume a basic knowledge in functional analytic methods as provided by one of the courses
"Differentialgleichungen und Hilberträume" or "Funktionalanalysis".
