Description

Read more

This book contains two review articles on the dynamics of partial differential equations that deal with closely related topics but can be read independently.
Wayne reviews recent results on the global dynamics of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. This system exhibits stable vortex solutions: the topic of Wayne's contribution is how solutions that start from arbitrary initial conditions evolve towards stable vortices. Weinstein considers the dynamics of localized states in nonlinear Schrodinger and Gross-Pitaevskii equations that describe many optical and quantum systems. In this contribution, Weinstein reviews recent bifurcations results of solitary waves, their linear and nonlinear stability properties and results about radiation damping where waves lose energy through radiation.
The articles, written independently, are combined into one volume to showcase the tools of dynamical systems theory at work in explaining qualitative phenomena associated with two classes of partial differential equations with very different physical origins and mathematical properties.

Additional text

“This third volume of ‘Reviews and Tutorials in Frontiers in Applied Dynamical Systems’ combines two review articles on unrelated topics. … Both review articles are written by experts in their fields. Therefore, many graduate students or young researchers may be interested to read these review articles to grasp the state-of-art in these areas of applications.” (Dmitry Pelinovsky, zbMATH 1331.35006, 2016)
