Projektseminar (Functional Analysis): Inequalities
Wintersemester 2015/16

Time and Place
Type: Time: Place: Start:
PJSE 2 std. Mo 9:45-11:15 SR08 5.10
Topics
In this seminar we would like to discuss some classical inequalities with important applications in analysis like dispersive estimates, global existence and blow-up for nonlinear PDEs etc. For example,
Hanner [LL], Rearrangement [LL], Hausdorff-Young [LL], Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev [LL], Sobolev inequalites [LL], Rellich [LL], Poincare [LL], Strichartz [LP]
These are just some possibilites and we are open to suggestions from students as well!
