Contents
- Elliptic partial differential equations
- variational formulation
- function spaces
- Regularity of solutions in Sobolev and Besov spaces
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- recognise the relevance of regularity theory for practical problems, in particular for the numerical treatment of partial differential equations, and acquire knowledge of the basic principles of regularity estimations,
- learn how methods from functional analysis, numerical analysis and approximation theory interact,
- Re-evaluate knowledge from basic and advanced modules,
- to recognise the relations of regularity theory to other areas of mathematics and other sciences,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
