Comparison Principle for a Hamilton-Jacobi Equation Derived from 2-D Navier-Stokes Equation

Mr. Hongwei Mei
University of Kansas
Visiting Assistant Professor

“In this talk, I will talk about a comparison principle for a Hamilton-Jacobi equation on the space of probability measures. The original motivation of proving the comparison principe of such HJ equation is to prove a LDP for vortex dynamics using non-linear semigroup approach. While in this talk I will introduce the HJ equation in the way of a control problem of 2-D Navier-Stokes equation.”

Light refreshments will be served @ 1:30 pm in EMS E424A.
