Opis

This book offers an elementary, self-contained approach to the mathematical theory of viscous, incompressible fluid in a domain of the Euclidian space, described by the equations of Navier-Stokes. It is the first to provide a systematic treatment of the subject. It is designed for students familiar with basic tools in Hilbert and Banach spaces, but fundamental properties of, for example, Sobolev spaces, are collected in the first two chapters.
