Differential equations can bring mathematics to life, describing phenomena originating in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, and more. Used by scientists and engineers alike, differential equations are also the starting point of much purely mathematical activity. They also play a role in the formulation and resolution of problems in harmonic analysis, differential geometry, and probability calculus. A large part of functional analysis has therefore been motivated by the need to solve questions in the analysis of differential systems, as with numerical analysis.Differential equations are doubly relevant, then: as significant in many areas of mathematics, and as important machinery for applying mathematics to real-world problems. This book therefore aims to provide a rigorous introduction to the theoretical study of differential equations, and to demonstrate their utility with applications in many fields.Ordinary Differential Equations and Applications originates from several courses given by the author for decades at the University of Seville. It aims to bring together rigorous mathematical theory and the rich variety of applications for differential equations. The book examines many aspects of differential equations: their existence, uniqueness, and regularity, alongside their continuous dependence on data and parameters. Delving into permanent interpretation of the laws of differential equations, we also look at the role of data and how their solutions behave. Each chapter finishes with a collection of exercises, many of which also contain useful hints.

The main objective of this book is to provide an introductory study to the variable density incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We will deal with their motivation, the main related mathematical problems, the main techniques used to solve and/or control the systems and the main open questions arising in the subject. Additionally, the detailed description of some (more or less) elementary numerical techniques is given. The book is intended to be useful to Master and PhD students and young researchers interested by the analysis and control of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), particularly those concerned with applications to mechanics, engineering, biology, economics, etc. We have tried to adapt the explanations, the proofs of the results and the proposed exercises to this level. Accordingly, we hope it will be readable, understandable, and useful for someone familiar with basic results on linear functional analysis, measure theory, and numerical analysis. We consider questions concerning fluid mechanics which are in part purely theoretical (existence, uniqueness, regularity, stability). In part, connected with applications (specific solutions, particular geometrical situations, the behavior with respect to some parameters, the limit as space dependent initial densities tend to a constant, the limit as viscosity tends to zero). Also, motivated by control theory (optimal control and controllability problems. At the end of each chapter, we have proposed a collection of exercises whose resolution can help to understand the arguments and techniques. Some of them are relatively easy, but others are more involved, may need nontrivial results and may even lead to new contributions to the field. Very frequently, help hints are provided. A collection of open problems can be found in the field. Some of them are recalled. Hopefully, this will generate interest among young researchers.
