On the R-boundedness of solution operator families for two-phase Stokes resolvent equations.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show the existence of

m a t h c a l R

-bounded solution operator families for two-phase Stokes resolvent equations in

d o t O m e g a = O m e g a_{+} c u p O m e g a_{-}

, where

O m e g a_{p} m

are uniform

W_{r}^{2 - 1 / r}

domains of

N

-dimensional Euclidean space

m a t h b f R^{N}

(

N g e q 2

,

N < r < i n f t y

). More precisely, given a uniform

W_{r}^{2 - 1 / r}

domain

O m e g a

with two boundaries

G a m m a_{p} m

satisfying

G a m m a_{+} c a p G a m m a_{-} = e m p t y s e t

, we suppose that some hypersurface

G a m m a

divides

O m e g a

into two sub-domains, that is, there exist domains

O m e g a_{p} m s u b s e t O m e g a

such that

O m e g a_{+} c a p O m e g a_{-} = e m p t y s e t

and

O m e g a s e t m i n u s G a m m a = O m e g a_{+} c u p O m e g a_{-}

, where

G a m m a c a p G a m m a_{+} = e m p t y s e t

,

G a m m a c a p G a m m a_{-} = e m p t y s e t

, and the boundaries of

O m e g a_{p} m

consist of two parts

G a m m a

and

G a m m a_{p} m

, respectively. The domains

O m e g a_{p} m

are filled with viscous, incompressible, and immiscible fluids with density

h o_{p} m

and viscosity

m u_{p} m

, respectively. Here

h o_{p} m

are positive constants, while

m u_{p} m = m u_{p} m (x)

are functions of

x i n m a t h b f R^{N}

. On the boundaries

G a m m a

,

G a m m a_{+}

, and

G a m m a_{-}

, we consider an interface condition, a free boundary condition, and the Dirichlet boundary condition, respectively. We also show, by using the

m a t h c a l R

-bounded solution operator families, some maximal

L_{p} e x t - L_{q}

regularity as well as generation of analytic semigroup for a time-dependent problem associated with the two-phase Stokes resolvent equations. This kind of problems arises in the mathematical study of the motion of two viscous, incompressible, and immiscible fluids with free surfaces.

Review text

The authors investigate the existence of so-called \(\mathcal{R}\)-bounded solution operator families for two-phase Stokes resolvent equations in \(\dot{\Omega}={\Omega}_{+}\cup{\Omega}_{-}\), where \({\Omega}_{\pm}\) are uniform \(W_{r}^{2-1/r}\) domains of \(N\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \((N\geq 2,\ N<r<\infty)\). The domains \({\Omega}_{\pm}\) are filled with viscous, incompressible, and immiscible fluids with different densities and viscosities. On the boundaries the authors use a free boundary condition combined with Dirichlet conditions on the known parts. The authors show some maximal \(L_p\)-\(L_{q}\)-regularity as well as generation of analytic semigroup for a time-dependent problem associated with the two-phase Stokes resolvent equations. The paper is very comprehensive. The proofs are given in detail and the bibliography which presents a good survey on the topic contains 31 items. The topic is mainly the study of the common motion of two viscous incompressible immiscible fluids. This kind of problems is very close to the problems to be handled in the present paper. Most of the papers in the bibliography were published after the year 2000.
