Aims

The course discusses several topics in analysis, which are chosen as an introduction to the theory of dynamical systems and partial differential equations.

Methods and competences to be acquired by the students. To get a firm grasp of the techniques of differential calculus, measure theory and Lebesgue integration, and to be able to apply them to simple problems in the theory of dynamical systems.

Main themes

Topics in analysis in the areas of differential calculus, differential equations, measure and integration theory. Applications to the theory of dynamical systems.

Content and teaching methods

-Differential calculus in normed spaces of finite and infinite dimension. Implicit functions theorem. Applications to submanifolds in Rn.
-Elements of dynamical systems theory: flow boxes, linearization, Poincaré map, gradient flows.
-Measure theory and Lebesgue integration: Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem and applications, Fubini's theorem, change of variables, Stokes formula. Fractal dimension and Poincaré recurrence theorem.
