Density properties for solenoidal vector fields, with applications to the Navier-Stokes equations in exterior domains (Q1203594)

The authors give two imbedding theorems for solenoidal vector fields in \(L^ q\)-spaces on exterior domains. The results obtained are used to prove the regularity at infinity of weak solutions of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. The same problem on the Stokes equations is investigated, too. A uniqueness criterion for weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations is also established.
