EAS 600 - Functional Analysis

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): ENM 500, ENM 501 or ENM 510, ENM 511 or equivalent. This course teaches the fundamental concepts underlying metric spaces, normed spaces, vector spaces, and inner- product spaces. It begins with a discussion of the ideals of convergence and completeness in metric spaces and then uses these ideas to develop the Banach fixed-point theorem and its applications to linear equations, differential equations and integral equations. The course moves on to a study of normed spaces, vector spaces, and Banach spaces and operators defined on vector spaces, as well as functional defined between vector spaces and fields. The course then moves to the study of inner product spaces, Hilbert spaces, orthogonal complements, direct sums, and orthonormal sets. Applications include the study of Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre, and Chebyshev polynomials, and approximation methods in normed spaces. The course then concludes with a study of eigenvalues and eigenspaces of linear operators and spectral theory in finite-dimensional vector spaces.
