MAT/05 - MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS

Period

II semestre dal Mar 2, 2020 al Jun 12, 2020.

Learning outcomes

The course aims to give a general overview of the theoretical aspects of the most important partial differential equations arising as fundamental models in the description of main phenomena in Physics, Biology, economical/social sciences and data analysis, such as diffusion, transport, reaction, concentration, wave propagation, with a particular focus on well-posedness (i.e. existence, uniqueness, stability with respect to data). Moreover, the theoretical properties of solutions are studied in connection with numerical approximation methods (e.g. Galerkin finite dimensional approximations) which are studied and implemented in the Numerical Analysis courses.

Program

Derivation of some partial differential equations from the modelling.
Partial differential equations of first order: characteristics' method, eikonal equation. Weak solutions: scalar Conservation Law, introduction to the Calculus of Variations and to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
Linear partial differential equations of second order: classification.
Laplace equation and Poisson equation: fundamental solution, harmonic functions, Green's identity, Green's function, Poisson's formula for the ball, gradient estimates, Liouville's Theorem.
Elliptic equations: maximum principles, Hopf Lemma. Uniqueness theorems. Existence theorems: weak solutions via Lax-Milgram Theorem and classical solutions via Perron's method.
Introduction to the heat equation and to the wave equation.
Parabolic and hyperbolic equations: Galerkin method, introduction to Semigroup Theory.

Examination Methods

REGULATIONS for the summer exam session in PDE. - COVID19 EMERGENCY

1. Oral exame with remote connection, dates to be arranged with the teachers.

2. Everybody must communicate his/her availability for the exam BEFORE 15th June, in order to compile a schedule in a reasonable amount of time.

3. Max 2 attempts. If you fail two times, your next attempt will be in the session of September. No exceptions.

4. Contents of the exam: the exam will concern for 2/3 on the first part, and for 1/3 on the second part, roughly according the partition of the lecture hours.

5. Description of the exam: in the exam there will be

- a practical part (which will play the role of the written part) in which it will be requested the solution of an exercise on a topic among: method of characteristics, conservation laws and Riemann's problem, calculus of variations.

- a theoretical question on the fist part of the course.

- a theoretical question on the second part of the course.

6. The knowledge of all the definition and statements is mandatory. At the beginning of June we will publish a list of the proofs that will be requested to know (we will not publish it before the beginnning of June for reasons that should be clear).
=======================
OLD REGULATIONS (SUSPENDED)

The exam will consist in an oral examination based on all the topics covered by the lectures. More precisely, the examination will be made of 3 steps: in the first step the student will be asked to report in details on a result randomly selected from a previously arranged list of results. Only if the student passes the first step he/she will be admitted to the second step of the examination, which will consist in a more general discussion on themes of the programme. In the third and last step the student will be asked to present his/her favourite topic.
The assessment will be based on the extent to which the student will overlook and master the main ideas and mathematical tools/techniques delivered by the lecturer during the course.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Career prospects


Module/Programme news

News for students

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and also via the Univr app.

Alternative learning activities

In order to make the study path more flexible, it is possible to request the substitution of some modules with others of the same course of study in Mathematics at the University of Verona (if the educational objectives of the modules to be substituted have already been achieved in the previous career), or with others of the course of study in Mathematics at the University of Trento.

Documents


Attendance modes and venues

As stated in the Teaching Regulations , except for specific practical or lab activities, attendance is not mandatory. Regarding these activities, please see the web page of each module for information on the number of hours that must be attended on-site.

Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.

The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which consists of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma campus. 
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.

Graduation

Deadlines and administrative fulfilments

For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.

Need to activate a thesis internship

For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.

Final examination regulations

Upon completion of the Master’s degree dissertation students are awarded 32 CFU. The final examination consists of a written dissertation on a specific topic agreed with a supervising professor and presented to a commission (Dissertation Committee).

The dissertation can be high-level theoretical or experimental (in the latter case, it may focus on either basic or applied research), it can deal with a theoretical topic or propose the resolution of a specific problem, or description of a work project, and may be carried out at universities, research institutions, schools, laboratories and companies in the framework of internships, traineeships, study stays in Italy and abroad. The dissertation must be original and written by the student under the guidance of a Supervisor. At the request of the student, the dissertation may be written and presented in Italian.

Professors belonging to the Mathematics Teaching Committee, the Department of Computer Science, and any associated departments may be appointed as Supervisors, as well as any professors from the University of Verona whose area of interest (SSD - Scientific-disciplinary Sector) is included in the teaching regulations of the degree programme.

Students may take the final exam only if meeting all requirements set by the School of Sciences and Engineering.

The Master's degree in Mathematics is obtained by successfully passing the final examination and thus earning the 120 CFU included in the study plan.

The material submitted by the student for the final examination will be examined by the Dissertation Committee, which comprises three professors, possibly including the Supervisor, and appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee. The final examination will be assessed based on the following criteria: the student’s performance during the entire study programme, the knowledge acquired during the dissertation work, their understanding of the topic and autonomy of judgment, their ability to apply such knowledge, and communicate effectively and fully all the outcomes of the work and the main results obtained.

The final examination and the degree ceremony will be carried out, in one of the four graduation sessions throughout the academic year, by the Final Examination Committee appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee, and made up of a president and at least four members chosen from among the professors of the University.

For further information, please refer to the Final examination regulations.
