Event description:
It is proved that linear instability implies nonlinear instability
for the Navier Stokes equations in $L^p$, $p > 1$. The result holds in all
spatial dimensions and both finite domains and $R^n$. The method of
proof uses a bootstrap argument.
This is joint work with Roman Shvydkoy and Natasa Pavlovic.
