  • Course Objectives:
    The main objective of this course is to study Cauchy problems in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. Fixed point theory constitutes a very important tool in this context. Some stability problems will also be examined.

    Recommended Prerequisites:
    Standard undergraduate-level courses.

    Course Content:

    • General topics on differential equations

      • Concept of a solution and types of solutions (local, maximal, global, and saturated solutions).

      • Qualitative study of ordinary differential equations in finite dimensions (Peano’s theorem and the Cauchy–Lipschitz theorem).

      • Qualitative study of ordinary differential equations in infinite dimensions (Peano’s theorem and the Cauchy–Lipschitz theorem).

    • Constrained ordinary differential equations

      • Bouligand–Severi tangent cone.

      • Other types of tangent cones.

      • Nagumo’s theorem.

    • Stability theory

      • General concepts.

      • Stability of linear differential systems.

      • Stability in the sense of Lyapunov.

    Assessment Method:
    Examination (60%), continuous assessment (40%).
