Catalogue data

AbstractBaire category; Banach and Hilbert spaces, bounded linear operators; basic principles: Uniform boundedness, open mapping/closed graph theorem, Hahn-Banach; convexity; dual spaces; weak and weak* topologies; Banach-Alaoglu; reflexive spaces; compact operators and Fredholm theory; closed range theorem; spectral theory of self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces; Fourier transform and applications.
ObjectiveAcquire a good degree of fluency with the fundamental concepts and tools belonging to the realm of linear Functional Analysis, with special emphasis on the geometric structure of Banach and Hilbert spaces, and on the basic properties of linear maps.
LiteratureWe will be using the book
Functional Analysis, Spectral Theory, and Applications
by Manfred Einsiedler and Thomas Ward
and available by SpringerLink.

Performance assessment

Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
Performance assessment as a semester course
ECTS credits10 credits

Typesession examination
Language of examinationEnglish
RepetitionThe performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examinationwritten 180 minutes
Additional information on mode of examinationThe active participation in the exercise class via presentations as a voluntary learning task will be graded and can improve the total course unit grade by up to 0.25 grade points. Students can still achieve the maximum grade of 6 in the course unit even if they only sit the final examination.
Written aidsNone
This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
