The lectures are delivered in Italian. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The aim of this course is to provide a first introduction to Partial Differential Equations Theory. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES To provide some basic contents in Mathematical Analysis (Partial Differential Equations Theory) that are considered important to get a well grounded knowledge in the basic branches of Mathematics for the students who want to get a master's degree in Applied Mathematics. Expected learning outcomes: The students will become acquainted with the concepts and proofs carried out in class and how they are used in practice to solve exercises; moreover they will know how to produce easy variants of demonstrations seen and construct examples on topics covered in this course. TEACHING METHODS Both theory and exercises are presented by the teacher in the classroom on the blackboard. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Fundamental linear partial differential equations with constant coefficients: the transport equation, the equations of Laplace, Poisson, the heat and the wave equation. General properties of the solutions: mean value property, maximum principle, energy estimates and their consequences. Some general techniques to obtain explicit formulas for solutions: separation of variables, Green’s function, reflection method, Duhamel’s principle, spherical means, method of descent. First order quasilinear equations. Conservation laws. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Lawrence C. Evans, Partial Differential Equations, Graduate Studies in Math.
