The lists with order and place of examination on the exam days November 24-26 are now ready. You can see the lists on the 7th floor on the board next to room B724.

I have made one addition to the updated "pensum" (syllabus requirements) for the exam. This new version of "pensum" is final.

I have posted an updated "pensum" (syllabus requirements) for the oral exam, see the menu on the left.

The revised dates for the exam will be November 24, 25 and 26. Please come to the lecture on November 11 where I will make a list with the order of examination. If you have (reasonable) restrictions on one of the above days and wish to come on a specific day then let me know at the latest on November 11.

I posted a new version of the exercises for week 41, with some small changes in the last exercise.

The dates for the exam have been fixed for November 24 and November 25. The last lecture will be on November 18.

Here is a more detailed hint to the additional exercise: take a Cauchy sequence {Zn} in X/Y, thus Zn=xn+Y. First choose a subsequence {Zn'} with ||Zk'-Z{k+1}'|| smaller than 1/(2^k). Then use the fact that the definition of the norm on X/Y is an infimum to choose a Cauchy sequence in X: for k=1 find y1 such that the norm on X of x1-x2-y1 is less than 1/2 + 1/2, let X1=x1 and X2=x2+y1. Then at k=2 choose X3 and by induction get {X_k} a Cauchy sequence in X. Use its limit to get a limit in X/Y for the original Cauchy sequence.

There is a typo in the formulation of the additional exercise for Monday September 8: the coset z+Y ought to be y+Y. There is also a typo in the formulation of exercise 2.12: the correct formula for z_n is (1-n^{-1})z.

The lectures on Mondays will take place from 12.15 to 14 in B62.

We agreed to move the Monday lectures from 10.15-12 to 12.15-14.00. I will announce the new lecture room in a couple of days.

The lectures are currently scheduled for Mondays 10.15-12 and Tuesdays 12.15-14, but there is a wish to change this due to overlap with other courses/seminars. Possible new times are Monday 12.15-14 and Wednesday 14.15-16. Please come at the first lecture at 10.15 on Monday August 25 where we will discuss the option of changing the current schedule.

The teaching material for this course will be the book "Linear Functional Analysis" by Rynne and Youngson, 2nd edition (see the information on the left under "Pensum/l?ringskrav"). The library on campus still has some copies of the first edition. Wait until the 2nd edition has arrived before you purchase this book.
