A criterion is given for the convergence of numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions under steady conditions. The criterion applies to all cases, of steady viscous flow in two dimensions and shows that if the local ' mesh Reynolds number ', based on the size of the mesh used in the solution, exceeds a certain fixed value, the numerical solution will not converge.

Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems in Mechanics and Physics (Roger Temam)

“Multivalued Analysis” is the theory of set-valued maps (called multifonctions) and has important applications in many different areas. Multivalued analysis is a remarkable mixture of many different parts of mathematics such as point-set topology, measure theory and nonlinear functional analysis. It is also closely related to “Nonsmooth Analysis” (Chapter 5) and in fact one of the main motivations behind the development of the theory, was in order to provide necessary analytical tools for the study of problems in nonsmooth analysis. It is not a coincidence that the development of the two fields coincide chronologically and follow parallel paths. Today multivalued analysis is a mature mathematical field with its own methods, techniques and applications that range from social and economic sciences to biological sciences and engineering. There is no doubt that a modern treatise on “Nonlinear Functional Analysis” can not afford the luxury of ignoring multivalued analysis. The omission of the theory of multifunctions will drastically limit the possible applications.

Global Attractors of Non-Autonomous Dissipative Dynamical Systems

Asymptotically Almost Periodic Solutions of Differential Equations

The article is devoted to the study of quasi-linear nonautonomous difference equations: invariant manifolds, compact global attractors, almost periodic and recurrent solutions and chaotic sets. First, we prove that such equations admit an invariant continuous section (an invariant manifold). Then, we obtain the conditions for the existence of a compact global attractor and characterize its structure. Third, we derive a criterion for the existence of almost periodic and recurrent solutions of the quasi-linear nonautonomous difference equations. Finally, we prove that quasi-linear maps with chaotic base admit a chaotic compact invariant set. The obtained results are applied while studying triangular maps: invariant manifolds, compact global attractors, almost periodic and recurrent solutions and chaotic sets.
