The focus of this course is on non-local operators of fractional order. We concentrate on operators with a differentiability order between zero and two, which are therefore also referred to as integro-differential operators. This lecture can be taken independently of the courses PDE 1 and PDE 2, as the necessary concepts will be introduced as needed. However, a solid understanding of those courses is advantageous, as we will work extensively with analogies to the familiar world of differential operators. Ideally, we will succeed in developing a theory analogous to that of De Giorgi-Moser-Nash for second-order differential operators.
The non-local operators under consideration have many applications in current research, such as in the study of Markov jump processes or image processing. I am very happy to accommodate the specific requests and interests of students.
Knowledge of Analysis, Functional Analysis and ideally some theory of partial differential equations.
Will be added shortly.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
