Content:
This lecture gives an introduction into fundamental questions and methods of functional analysis. It is suited for students with interest in applied analysis (both from mathematics and from mathematical finance, but also for physicist).
Main topics of functional analysis are vector spaces with infinite dimension and linear mappings between them (linear operators). The related theorems analyse the underlying structures and give deeper insight in the spaces as well as in the operators. The results are important for many areas of mathematics and physics, for instance for the theory of partial differential equations, mathematical physics and numerical mathematics.
Topics of the lectures are, among others, normed spaces and Hilbert spaces, dual spaces, Hahn-Banach theorems, uniform boundedness principle and bounded and unbounded operators and their spectral decomposition.

The lecture is adapted for students in the 4th semester or higher.
Literature will be announced in the lecture.
