In the lecture, some selected chapters from the theory of differential equations are dealt with. In particular, in the theory of ordinary differential equations: the notion of Caratheodory solution and its existence and uniqueness, continuous dependence on the initial datum, linear equations in a Euclidean space-structure of solutions, the fundamental matrix, variation of constants; in the theory of linear partial differential equations: 1st order equations, the method of characteristics, classification of equations of the 2nd order, parabolic equations, elliptic equations.

Last update: T_KPMS (16.05.2013)

The subject is aimed at the study of certain parts of ordinary

differential equations and 2nd order partial differential equations both

of elliptic and parabolic types that are useful in probability theory.

Requirements to the exam

Last update: prof. RNDr. Bohdan Maslowski, DrSc. (09.10.2017)

The examination is oral.

Requirements (may be slightly modified according to the stuff talked over)::

Rigorous and correct formulations of all definitions and statements in the ODE part : generalized solution (in the Caratheodory sense), Thms. on local existence, nonexplosion, continuous dependence on initial data, definition of dynamical system, stability, asymptotic and exponential stability.

For the PDE part" Concept of solution to parabolic and elliptic PDE, fundamental solution, Green function, adjoint problem, maximum principles.

Proofs are required for Thm on local existence (based on Schauder fixed point thm), sufficient conditions for nonexplosion (T 1.6) incl. Corolary 1.7, and the theorems on stability (T 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20). Examples!
