A Concise Course on Stochastic Partial Differential Equations / Edition 1 in Bloomington, MN

These lectures concentrate on (nonlinear) shastic partial differential equations (SPDE) of evolutionary type. There are three approaches to analyze SPDE: the "martingale measure approach", the "mild solution approach" and the "variational approach". The purpose of these notes is to give a concise and as self-contained as possible an introduction to the "variational approach". A large part of necessary background material is included in appendices.
