Course content
Functional analysis: function spaces, fixed point theorems, bifurcation, embedding theorems, compactness, dual spaces, interpolation theorems. General theory of PDE's: linear and nonlinear parabolic and elliptic equations, nonlinear hyperbolic equations of the first order, solvability of the equations. Continuum mechanics of fluids: mathematical theory of compressible and incompressible Newtonian fluids. Navier-Stokes equations: existence of solutions (stacionary and non-stacionary case), qualitative properties of the solutions, different types of flow and boundary conditions.
