Abstract

The main goal is to study the elementary theory of distributions in Euclidean space, with some applications to linear partial differential equations. The program includes the definitions and basic properties such as operations, convolution, and convergence, with applications to the study of fundamental solutions and their relation to the regularity of solutions.(AU)
