Course contents
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 publicaitons 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:
E.Kreyszig. Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications. Wiley 1989
D.G. Luenberger. Optimization by Vector Space Methods. Wiley 1969
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 8.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
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.
Other requirements for final grade
80% on weekly homework exercises and 20% project (analysis of a reserach paper, preferably related to the student´s own research, and a 15 minutes presentation of the main ideas/ results of such paper)
Examiner
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.
