Localization of spectrum bottom for the Stokes operator in a random porous medium (Q5938486)

The article is devoted to the spectral theory for the Stokes operator in a random porous medium. The author exposes a series of theorems which assert that the principal eigenvalue of the Stokes system \[ \Delta U - \nabla p + f = 0,\quad \nabla\cdot U = 0 \] on a random subdomain of a cube with edge \(r\) has the order \(O(\ln^{-2/d}r)\) with probability arbitrarily close to unity. A determinate interval is also indicated which contains this random variable with probability arbitrarily close to unity.
