Director of Eurasian Mathematical Institute of the Eurasian National University, Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Mukhtarbay Otelbaev has completed and published his "Existence of a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equation", University press service reports.

      The report says that significance of the publication is that Navier-Stokes equation is one of the seven most complex mathematical problems, known as Millennium Prize Problems. According to the press service, the scientists’s full article together with evidences was published in the "Mathematical Journal." Clay Mathematics Institute, a private non-profit organization, announced in the beginning of 2000 a $1 million prize for solving each of these problems. At the present time, only one of the seven millennium problems – the Poincare Conjecture – was resolved. Fields Prize was awarded to the Russian mathematician Grigoriy Perelman. In 2002 Mukhtarbay Otelbaev was awarded the 'Scientist of the Year' title in the ‘Science’ category of Kazakhstan's 'Person of the Year’ contest. From 2002 to 2005 he was the holder of the state scientific scholarship for academics and experts, who have made outstanding contribution to the development of science and technology. Research interests of Mr. Otelbaev include spectral theory of operators, the theory on widening and narrowing operators, embedding theory of function spaces, approximation theory, computational mathematics and inverse problems.
