Aim

To introduce functional analysis, a fundamental tool for i.e. ordinary and differential equations, mathematical statistics and numerical analysis.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

-State and explain the concepts vector space, normed space, Banach and Hilbert space -State and explain the theory for linear operators on Hilbert spaces in particular for compact and self-adjoint operators. -Apply the spectral theorem for compact, self-adjoint operators. -Apply fixed point theorems to differential- and integral equations. -Communicate, both in writing and orally, the logical connections between the different concepts that appear in the course.

Content

Normed Spaces. Banach and Hilbert Spaces. Basics facts on Lebesgue Integrals. Contractions. Fixed Point Theorems. Compactness. Operators on Hilbert Spaces. Spectral Theory for Compact Self Adjoint Operators. Fredholm's Alternative. Applications to Integral and Differential Equations. Sturm-Liouville theory.
