| Course Objectives | The course is divided into two parts: Calculus of Variations and Integral Equations. In the first part, the course aims to present the main elements of the calculus of variations. The approach is oriented towards the differential equation aspects. We will focus on variational problems that involve one and two independent variables. The fixed end-point problem and problems with constraints will be discussed in detail. Topics will also include Euler-Lagrange equation, the first and second variations, necessary and suffcient conditions for extrema, Hamilton's principle, and application to Sturm-Liouville problems and mechanics. In the second part, the course aims to introduce student the integral equations and their connections with initial and boundary value problems of differential equations. Topics will include mainly Fredholm and Volterra integral equations, the Green’s function, Hilbert-Schmidt theory, the Neumann series and Fredholm theory. |
