Introduction; Inner product spaces; Normed spaces; Hilbert and Banach spaces; Orthogonal expansions; Least squares estimation; Dual spaces; Contraction mappings / Banach fixed point theorem; Linear operators and adjoints; Optimization of functionals; Application to H_infinity control theory.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing this course, the student will be able to follow the derivations and subtleties of a number of results available in publications in Electrical Engineering, and to eventually contribute to the underlying theories of this field.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

The course is open to all graduate students (no prerequisite courses).

Literature

N. Young. An Introduction to Hilbert Space. Cambridge University Press, 1988.

Some excellent complements are:

Examination and completion

Grading scale

Examination

    Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

    The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

    If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

    Other requirements for final grade

    80% on weekly homework exercises + 20% project (analysis of a research paper, preferably related to the student’s own research, and a 15 min presentation of the main ideas/results of such paper).

    Examiner

    No information inserted

    Ethical approach

    • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
    • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
    • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
