Fourier Analysis

A course on Fourier series and Fourier integrals.

The course covers:

  • Fourier series and integrals in one variable: Pointwise convergence, convergence in L2, summation of Fourier series and integrals. Theorems of Parseval and Plancherel.
  • Fourier series and integrals in several variable: Fourier analysis in higher dimensions and on discrete Abelian groups.
  • Fourier analysis of analytic functions: Hardy functions on the unit disk, Paley-Wiener Theorem, Hardy functions and filters.
  • Applications: Selection of the following. Heat equation, wave equation, isoperimetric inequality, Laplace equation on the unit disk and half-plane, Szegő's Theorem.

This course is given jointly with KTH, and information about schedule, course literature etc. can be found on KTH's pages - see links below.

Though it is not a requirement for admission, knowledge equivalent to the course Mathematics III - Ordinary Differential Equations is recommended before starting this course.

The course consists of one element.


Teaching Format

Instruction is given in the form of lectures and exercises.
