Analysis Seminars Summer 2000


April 24th



Alexander Shnirleman (Tel-Aviv)

On the instability of fluid flows

Abstract: the main result is the following: every nontrivial steady solution of the 2-d Euler equations is unstable with respect to small in $L^2$ perturbations of initial conditions.

(This is a joint Analysis/ Applied mathematics seminar).
