Abstract: We consider the questions of efficient mixing and un-mixing by incompressible flows which satisfy periodic, no-flow, or no-slip boundary conditions on a square. Under the uniform-in-time constraint $|ablau(cdot,t){|}_{p}leq1$ we show that any function can be mixed to scale $epsilon$ in time $O(|logepsilon{|}^{1+u_p})$, with $u_p=0$ for $p<frac3+sqrt52$ and $u_{p}leqfrac13$ for $pgeqfrac3+sqrt52$. Known lower bounds show that this rate is optimal for $pin(1,frac3+sqrt52)$. We also show that any set which is mixed to scale $epsilon$ but not much more than that can be un-mixed to a rectangle of the same area (up to a small error) in time $O(|logepsilon{|}^{2-1/p})$. Both results hold with scale-independent finite times if the constraint on the flow is changed to $|u(cdot,t){|}_{dot{W}^{s,p}}leq1$ with some $s<1$. The constants in all our results are independent of the mixed functions and sets.
