Nonlinear Analysis and Dynamical Systems

In the first part of this course, I will present the basic elements of calculus in infinite dimensional spaces, holomorphic functions, and the classical implicit function theorem in Banach spaces.

Nonlinear Analysis and Bifurcation Theory

The goal of the course is to cover the following topics:

  • Basic calculus in Banach spaces
  • Local inversion theorems and implicit function theory 
  • Properties of bifurcation points 
  • Bifurcation from the simple eigenvalue 
  • Bifurcation from multiple eigenvalues
  • Examples and applications

Topics in Nonlinear Analysis

In this course I will present the Nash-Moser hard implicit function theorem in scales of Banach spaces with different applications, as, for example, the Siegel linear conjugacy theorem or the KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) theorem concerning quasi-periodic solutions of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems.
