Analysis I for Research Scholars


    Welcome to Analysis I for Research Scholars course home page. I am Siva Athreya the instructor for the course.


    • Syllabus:
      1. Measure Theory: Sigma-algebras, measures, outer measures, completion, construction and properties of the Lebesgue measure, non-measurable sets, Measurable functions, point wise convergence, almost uniform convergence, convergence in measure.

      2. Integration: Lebesgue integration, limit theorems, comparison with the Riemann integral, relationship with differentiation, functions of bounded variation and absolute continuity.

      3. Signed Measures: Radon - Nikodym theorem, Lebesgue decomposition theorem, change of variable formula, Product Spaces, Fubini's theorem and applications.

      4. Lp-Spaces : Holder and Minkowski inequalities, completeness, convolutions, approximation by smooth functions, duality.

      5. Riesz representation theorem: Riesz representation theorem for positive linear functionals, Proof of the theorem, construction of the Lebesgue measure via this approach.
