Functional Analysis

Objectives

By the end of this course, the student should have acquired knowledge, skills and competences in order to:

-Use fluently the elementary properties, results and procedures of functional analysis in Banach spaces;

-Apply the open mapping and the closed graph theorems, the Banach-Steinhaus and Hahn-Banach theorems.
