A Numerical Verification of Nontrivial Solutions for the Heat Convection
Problem,
Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics,
Vol.6, No.1 (2004) pp.1-20.
A computer assisted proof of bifurcated steady-state solutions for the
two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is described.
The method is based on an infinite dimensional fixed-point theorem using
a Newton-like operator. This paper also proposes a numerical verification
algorithm which generates automatically on a computer a set including the
exact nontrivial solution. All discussed numerical examples take into
account of the effects of rounding errors in the floating point computations.
