Course Objectives Integral Equations course, is theoretic course which builds bridges between functional analysis theory and applied mathematics theory. In this course, fundamental theory of integral equations are provided by establishing a connection between differential equations and integral equations. The fundamental theories of functional analysis is applied to integral equations and is illustrated in applied sciences.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to classify integral equations.
  • will be able to apply functional analytic methods on operators and integral equations.
  • will be able to describe definitions and relations in the theory of integral equations.
  • will be able to analyse the methods such as integral transforms, Green’s function, the concept of resolvent, uniqueness theorems, Fredholm theory.
  • will be able to apply the theory of integral equations to other disciplines like applied mathematics, science and engineering.
Course Description Classification of Integral Equations, Connection with differential equations, kernels, special types of kernels, Fredholm and Volterra equations of the first and second kind, Method of successive approximations, Integral equations with singular kernels, Hilbert space, kernel and transforms. Linear integral operators in Hilbert spaces. The resolvent, Fredholm theory, degenerate kernels.
