Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

* using dyadic cubes as a tool for problems in mathematical analysis

* estimating transformations of functions in different norms both “from scratch” and by interpolating and extrapolating previously available results

* rigorous reasoning with singular integrals

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Dyadic cubes

    Calderon-Zygmund decomposition

    Functions of bounded mean oscillation

    Muckenhoupt weights

    Singular integrals

    Interpolation and extrapolation of operator norm inequalities

     

    Note: Harmonic analysis was historically understood as a synonym to Fourier analysis, but in the modern usage, harmonic analysis is seen as a broader term. Since Fourier analysis is covered in other courses, this course emphasizes aspects of harmonic analysis other than those related to Fourier series/transform.

    Teaching methods: lectures, exercises and exam.

    Assessment methods: exercises and an exam.

Workload
  • valid for whole curriculum period:
