FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS

Course objectives

Educational Goals General objectives: To provide students with the basics related to the study of functional spaces that intervene in various fields. In particular, linear operators will be studied between Banach or Hilbert spaces and their spectrum will be analyzed. Finally, some non-linear Functional Analysis techniques will be presented, suitable for the study of differential problems. Specific objectives: Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course the student will have acquired the basic notions and results related to the Functional Analysis and to its different applications to differential problems.
