Approach to the stationary solution existence proof for Navier-Stokes equation by using verified computing

As one of the Millennium Prize Problems, the problem of existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equation problem draws the attention of mathematician from the world. To solve this problem, a breakthrough with new mathematical theory and new technique is expected. On one hand, the computer-assisted proof utilizing verified computing, which aims to give rigorous estimation for all error appearing in numerical computations, provides a new approach to the solution existence proof to Navier-Stokes equation. In this talk, I will explain the basic idea of verified computing and show the latest progress in this field, which includes my recent research on rigorous error estimation for finite element method solution of differential equations.
