(1)Course descriptions
We shall continue the materials in the first semester : Septral theory of compact operators, Sobolev Spaces and variational formulation of elliptic PDE.
Then we shall study the nonlinear functional analysis : Calculus in Banach Space, Implicit function theorem in Banach Space ; Degree Theory in finite and infinite dimesional spaces & Its applications, for examples, Brauer fixed point theorem, Schauder fixed point Theorem ; Bifurcation Thoery : Crandall-Rabinowitz bifurcation from simple eigenvalues.
