Abstract:
We address the issue of a rigorous justification of the statistical mechanics of 2D Euler equation. We construct a converging sequence of approximations of this equation for which a Liouville theorem holds and such that the sequence of Liouville measures has a large deviation property. This provides an important step in the justification of the use of the entropy functional previously introduced in [8, 11, 13].
