Navier-Stokes equations on Lipschitz domains in Riemannian manifolds. (Q5957330): Difference between revisions

The authors study carefully the boundary value problem for the Stokes system on Lipschitz domains in Riemannian manifolds. The obtained results on the existence and regularity of the solutions are direct generalizations of the known results in the sense that for Euclidian space the results reduce to known ones. On the basis of results on the solvability of the Stokes problem the authors introduce fractional powers of the Stokes operator and adapting the semigroup approach of Fujita-Kato they show short-time existence of regular solutions to the initial-value problem for the Navier-Stokes equations.
