Techniques of Functional Analysis for Differential and Integral Equations

Techniques of Functional Analysis for Differential and Integral Equations describes a variety of powerful and modern tools from mathematical analysis, for graduate study and further research in ordinary differential equations, integral equations, and especially partial differential equations. Knowledge of these techniques is particularly useful as preparation for graduate courses and as PhD research preparation in differential equations and numerical analysis, and more specialized topics such as fluid dynamics and control theory. Striking a balance between mathematical depth and accessibility, proofs are limited, and their sources precisely identifie d, proofs involving more technical aspects of measure and integration theory are avoided, but clear statements and precise alternative references are given . The work provides many examples and exercises drawn from the literature.

• Provides an introduction to the mathematical techniques widely used in applied mathematics and needed for advanced research
• Establishes the advanced background needed for sophisticated literature review and research in both differential and integral equations
• Suitable for use as a textbook for a two semester graduate level course for M.S. and Ph.D. students in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics
