Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We focus on methods for the analytical treatment of PDEs and the connection of analysis to modeling. Regular and singular
perturbation theory is introduced as a tool for asymptotic expansions in the context of model hierarchies. Other topics are homogenization of PDE and the Boltzmann equation with its model hierarchy up to the Euler equations. Applications in science and technology are discussed and provide the motivation for developing theoretical methods.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The goal is to provide an introduction to the methods of applied analysis and apply these
methods to physical systems of current interest. Questions answered are: how can we model (selected) physical systems? Which mathematical tools can we use? What are the properties of our models? Do unique solutions of the model equations exist?

Examination topics

Dimensionless variables, scaling, perturbations; continuum mechanics;
multi-scale problems; homogenization; Boltzmann equation; overview of numerical methods; modeing and simulations in applications.
