MATH 6160

Partial Differential Equations

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This course highlights applications of functional analysis to the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs).  It covers parts of the basic theory of linear (elliptic and evolutionary) PDEs, including Sobolev spaces, existence and uniqueness of solutions, interior and boundary regularity, maximum principles, and eigenvalue problems.  Additional topics may include: an introduction to variational problems, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, and other modern techniques for non-linear PDEs.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 6110, MATH 6210, or the equivalent.

Comments Offered alternate years.
