The author studies the viscoelastic model \(\partial_t v + (v\cdot\nabla) v -\varepsilon \Delta v -\int_0^t G(t,s) \Delta v ds -\nabla p = f\), \(\text{div }v=0\), \((x,t)\in \Omega\times (0,T)\), where \(\Omega\in \mathbb{R}^3\) is a smoothly bounded domain. The solution is subject to initial and no-slip boundary conditions. The viscoelastic kernel \(G>0\) and the external force field \(f\) are assumed to be sufficiently smooth and bounded. Under the so-called non-degenerate elasticity condition \(G(t,t)\geq G_0>0\), the author proves local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution \((v,p)\). Furthermore, he constructs the asymptotic series expansion of \((v,p)\) with respect to a small parameter \(0<\varepsilon \ll 1\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00009].
