MATH 784 - Nonlinear Functional Analysis

Institution:

George Mason University

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 3 Techniques in nonlinear functional analysis with applications. Contraction mapping principle, Frechet and higher derivatives, the implicit function theorem, Lyapunov-Schmidt method, and bifurcation theory. Finite and infinite dimensional degree theory with applications in partial differential equations. Prerequisites Permission of instructor. Notes Different backgrounds may be appropriate, but generally, a student is expected to be an upper level graduate student who has already taken Linear Analysis. Since the applications given in the course are for differential equations, some familiarity with differential equations is extremely useful.
