Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

Basic concepts and elementary methods of integration, vector fields and phase flows on the real line. Non-autonomous equations. Existence, uniqueness and smooth dependence on initial data as well as other parameters for the solutions of general first-order systems. Rectifiability of vector fields near non-singular points. Applications to systems of higher-order. Existence and non-existence for boundary value problems. Integral curves and phase flows of autonomous systems. Linear systems: systems of first-order with constant coefficients (including complex eigenvalues). Stability. Eigenvalue problems (Sturm.Liouville Theorie).

Learning Outcome

After successful completion of the modul, students are able to understand and apply the elementary theory of ordinary differential equations, stressing their analytical investigation as well as geometric features of the solutions.

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

Requirement for successful completion of the modul is to pass a written exam. By the written exam, students prove to know the mathematical concepts and methods of the elementary theory of ordinary differential equations and to be able to apply those to solve mathematical problems from that area.

Exam Repetition

The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
