Abstract: The Stokes resolvent problem lambdau−Deltau+ablaphi=f with mathrmdiv(u)=0 subject to homogeneous Dirichlet or homogeneous Neumann-type boundary conditions is investigated. In the first part of the paper we show that for Neumann-type boundary conditions the operator norm of mathrmLsigma2(Omega)ifmapstopiinmathrmL2(Omega) decays like lvertlambdavert−1/2 which agrees exactly with the scaling of the equation. In comparison to that, we show that the operator norm of this mapping under Dirichlet boundary conditions decays like lvertlambdavert−alpha for 0leqalpha<1/4 and we show that this decay rate cannot be improved to any exponent alpha>1/4, thereby, violating the natural scaling of the equation. In the second part of this article, we investigate the Stokes resolvent problem subject to homogeneous Neumann-type boundary conditions if the underlying domain Omega is convex. We establish optimal resolvent estimates and gradient estimates in mathrmLp(Omega;mathbbCd) for 2d/(d+2)<p<2d/(d−2) (with 1<p<infty if d=2). This interval is larger than the known interval for resolvent estimates subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on general Lipschitz domains and is to the best knowledge of the author the first result that provides mathrmLp-estimates for the Stokes resolvent subject to Neumann-type boundary conditions on general convex domains.


The author considers the decay rate of the Stokes operator norm with homogeneous Dirichlet or homogeneous Neumann-type boundary conditions. He also shows optimality of this rate. Moreover, he continues the study of \textit{Z. Shen} [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 205, No. 2, 395--424 (2012; Zbl 1320.76029)] of the Stokes resolvent problem. By a generalized version of Shen's $L^p$-extrapolation theorem, the optimal resolvent estimates and gradient estimates with homogeneous Neumann-type boundary conditions are obtained.
