Semigroups and delay equations, spring 2014

Lecturer

Mats Gyllenberg

Scope

10 sp.

Type

Advanced studies

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of ordinary differential equations and linear partial differential equations, elements of functional analysis (including the Hahn-Banach, Banach-Steinhaus and closed graph theorems), elements of measure and integration (including the Riesz representation theorems) and a passion for pure mathematics.

Content

The basic theory of one-parameter semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces. Strongly continuous semigroups, adjoint semigroups. The abstract Cauchy problem. Perturbation theory. Spectral Analysis. Applications to nonlinear delay equations. The principle of linearised (in)stability.

The lectures will be based on material that has been published in books and journal articles (see bibliography below).

Easter Holiday 17.-23.4.

Exams

Final exam.
