Our construction is based on a novel fixed-point approach that determines the patch boundary as the fixed point of a certain nonlinear map. Smoothness and other properties of the patch boundary are also obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-14T08:57:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q31", "35C07", "76B47" ], "keywords": [ "2d incompressible euler equation", "steady contiguous vortex-patch dipole solutions", "steady traveling wave solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
