General Information

Goal: We study the existence and regularity of weak solutions in Sobolev spaces. We will focus on second order elliptic equations and time-dependent Schrödinger equations.

Audience: Master students of Mathematics and Physics, TMP-Master.

Time and place:
  • Lectures: Tue & Thu 8-10 in B132
  • Exercises: Mon 16-18 in B132
  • Tutorials: Fri 12-14 in B251
Literature: A brief description of the lectures is regularly updated here.

Some excellent textbooks are
  • Lieb-Loss: Analysis, Amer. Math. Soc. 2001
  • Evans: Partial Differential Equations, Amer. Math. Soc. 2010
  • Brezis: Functional Analysis, Sobolev Spaces and Partial Differential Equations, Universitext 2011
Exercises and Turotials

Every week a homework sheet will be posted here. You can handle your solutions to Dr. Morozov in the exercise section (Monday) or bring them to Hongshuo Chen (corrector) at his office (B403). You are strongly encouraged to do the homework as it is the best way to prepare for the final exam.

The tutorial section (Friday) is provided to answer your questions and to discuss complementary materials.
