Selected Topics in Applied Analysis (M38): Gradient Systems and Their Gradient Flows

We will cover:

1. Introduction to and motivation for gradient systems and their gradient flows
   
2. classical approaches from the 1970+80s on gradient flows in Hilbert spaces, 
3. modern theory of generalized gradient systems in Banach spaces
4. evolutionary variational inequalities in metric spaces,
5. evolutionary Gamma convergence.
