二、课程介绍

  Many problems have different types of solutions in different spaces. Solutions in some spaces with high regularity may become more restricted (rigid or hard) so that they are stable under certain perturbation, while solutions in other spaces with low regularity can be less restricted (flexible or soft) so that they can be perturbed into a larger class. We focus on the flexibility question about approximating certain functions by the solutions of partial differential equations or inclusions. In geometry and topology, such a flexibility is known as the h-principle by Gromov. Convex integration is a set of approaches to prove the h-principle. The idea is initiated in the celebrated work of Nash and Kuiper on C^1 isometric embeddings of Riemann manifolds into a Euclidean space. The method of convex integration has recently found remarkable success in many important PDE problems, such as the counter-examples to regularity of elliptic and parabolic systems, the incompressible Euler equation, active scalar equations, porous medium equations, Boussinesq equations, Monge-Amp\`ere equations, magneto-hydrodynamic equations, and Navier-Stokes equations.

  In this series of lectures, I will discuss the basic ideas of convex integration with an easiest example and then explain Nash's original ideas in proving the h-principle of C^1 isometric embeddings. More general partial differential inclusions and the constrained inclusions in Tartar’s compensated compactness framework will be discussed together with some sufficient conditions for the convex integration of these problems. I will then discuss the celebrated work of De Lellis and Sz\'ekelyhidi on the $h$-principle of the incompressible Euler equation. In the last two lectures, I will discuss some work (including my joint work with Seonghak Kim) on the Perona-Malik and general forward-backward diffusion equations and certain general diffusion systems including the L^2-gradient flows of some strictly polyconvex functionals.
