Universal Mixers in All Dimensions

Abstract: We construct universal mixers, incompressible flows that mix arbitrarily well general solutions to the corresponding transport equation, in all dimensions. This mixing is exponential in time (i.e., essentially optimal) for any initial condition with at least some regularity, and we also show that a uniform mixing rate for all initial conditions cannot be achieved. The flows are uniformly-in-time bounded in spaces $W^{s,p}$ for a range of $(s,p)$ that includes $s > 1$ and $p>2$.
