After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• recognize the most important basic types of partial differential equations,
• apply approaches and the necessary mathematical foundations to solve PDEs,
• classify second order linear partial differential equations,
• to calculate generalized and fundamental solutions and thus to solve boundary and initial value problems,
• examine the existence of solutions and
• present their solutions in front of peers.

Quasilinear first order equations. Linear elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations of second order. Methods: maximum principle, Sobolev spaces, variational principles, spectral analysis

Lectures, exercies and a revision course are being offered. In the lecture there will be an introduction to theory and examples will be calculated. Once a week, exercise-sheets will be calculated on the blackboard by the students.The repetition offers the possibliy to make questions relating the lecture. The repetition is a complementary and optional offer.

In the WS2020 the lectures are provided by Prof. Jüngel as videos in TUWEL. Questions can be posed in the weekly Q&A hour ("repetitorium"). The latter takes place via zoom.

This courses is blocked until Christmas.

A first meeting will be organized in the first week of October.

2 written tests + exercises (on blackboard) + 1 oral exam
