Course description and aims

This course gives the theory of bifurcation and stability for the Navier-Stokes equations. In this course, basics of functional analysis and the standard bifurcation theory for partial differential equations are firstly explained; and an application of this theory is illustrated by considering stationary bifurcation problems for the incompressilble Navier-Stokes equations which is classified in a class of parabolic systems. Secondly, stationary bifurcation problems for compressilble Navier-Stokes equations is considered, which cannot be treated by the standard bifurcation theory. This course will be completed with "Advanced courses in Analysis B" in the next quarter.

Student learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to learn some aspects of mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations through the bifurcation and stability analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations.

Keywords

Contraction mapping principle, implicit function theorem, Lyapunov-Schmidt method, bifurcation analysis, Navier-Stokes equations

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
