This book is dedicated to the qualitative theory of the stochastic
one-dimensional Burgers equation with small viscosity under
periodic boundary conditions and to interpreting the obtained
results in terms of one-dimensional turbulence in a fictitious
one-dimensional fluid described by the Burgers equation. The
properties of one-dimensional turbulence which we rigorously derive
are then compared with the heuristic Kolmogorov theory of
hydrodynamical turbulence, known as the K41 theory. It is shown, in
particular, that these properties imply natural one-dimensional
analogues of three principal laws of the K41 theory: the size of
the Kolmogorov inner scale, the $2/3$-law, and the
Kolmogorov-Obukhov law. The first part of the book deals with the
stochastic Burgers equation, including the inviscid limit for the
equation, its asymptotic in time behavior, and a theory of
generalised $L_1$-solutions. This section makes a self-consistent
introduction to stochastic PDEs. The relative simplicity of the
model allows us to present in a light form many of the main ideas
from the general theory of this field. The second part, dedicated
to the relation of one-dimensional turbulence with the K41 theory,
could serve for a mathematical reader as a rigorous introduction to
the literature on hydrodynamical turbulence, all of which is
written on a physical level of rigor.
Many problems of stability in the theory of dynamical systems face the difficulty of small divisors. The most famous example is probably given by Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory in the context of Hamiltonian systems, with many applications to physics and astronomy. Other natural small divisor problems arise considering circle diffeomorphisms or quasiperiodic Schroedinger operators. In this volume Hakan Eliasson, Sergei Kuksin and Jean-Christophe Yoccoz illustrate the most recent developments of this theory both in finite and infinite dimension. A list of open problems (including some problems contributed by John Mather and Michel Herman) has been included.
This book is dedicated to the mathematical study of two-dimensional
statistical hydrodynamics and turbulence, described by the 2D
Navier-Stokes system with a random force. The authors' main goal is
to justify the statistical properties of a fluid's velocity field
u(t,x) that physicists assume in their work. They rigorously prove
that u(t,x) converges, as time grows, to a statistical equilibrium,
independent of initial data. They use this to study ergodic
properties of u(t,x) - proving, in particular, that observables
f(u(t,.)) satisfy the strong law of large numbers and central limit
theorem. They also discuss the inviscid limit when viscosity goes
to zero, normalising the force so that the energy of solutions
stays constant, while their Reynolds numbers grow to infinity. They
show that then the statistical equilibria converge to invariant
measures of the 2D Euler equation and study these measures. The
methods apply to other nonlinear PDEs perturbed by random forces.
