SUMMARY

Mukhtarbay Otelbaev from the Eurasian National University has claimed to have found a solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, as reported in his paper titled “The existence of a strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.” The paper, published in the Kazakh “Mathematical Journal,” spans over 100 pages and is currently only available in Russian. The implications of this work regarding the Millennium Prize remain uncertain, as the scientific community awaits further translation and analysis to determine the nature of the solution presented.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Navier-Stokes equations
  • Familiarity with mathematical proof techniques
  • Knowledge of the Millennium Prize Problems
  • Basic proficiency in reading scientific literature in Russian (or access to translations)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Navier-Stokes equations in fluid dynamics
  • Explore the criteria for the Millennium Prize and previous claims
  • Investigate translation resources for scientific papers in Russian
  • Review discussions on mathematical proofs related to the Navier-Stokes equations
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, and researchers interested in fluid dynamics, as well as those following developments in the Millennium Prize Problems.

In early January 2014 the scientific world had spread sensational news. Press office of the Eurasian National University named after Gumilev in Almaty, said the director of the mathematical institute at the university Mukhtarbay Otelbaev (Mujtarbay Otelbayev) in Kazakh “Mathematical Journal” work titled “The existence of a strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.”

I understand the source means to say Mujtarbay Otelbayev has found a solution to Navier-Stokes equations. The only reference I've found is the article itself (in Russian), so I don't understand a word...

Is this an existence statement, or a constructive way to obtain solutions?

I believe the jury is still out on exactly what Dr. Otelbayev's solution represents and whether or not it qualifies for the Millennium Prize. Since the paper is 100+ pages and in Russian, it will probably take a bit of time to translate into other languages for the international community to fully appreciate its significance. It should be interesting to watch the progress of that effort though.
