Stokes Resolvent Estimates in Spaces of Bounded Functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Stokes equation on a domain OmegasubsetRn is well understood in the Lp-setting for a large class of domains including bounded and exterior domains with smooth boundaries provided 1<p<infty. The situation is very different for the case p=infty since in this case the Helmholtz projection does not act as a bounded operator anymore. Nevertheless it was recently proved by the first and the second author of this paper by a contradiction argument that the Stokes operator generates an analytic semigroup on spaces of bounded functions for a large class of domains. This paper presents a new approach as well as new a priori Linfty-type estimates to the Stokes equation. They imply in particular that the Stokes operator generates a C0-analytic semigroup of angle pi/2 on C0,sigma(Omega), or a non-C0-analytic semigroup on Linftysigma(Omega) for a large class of domains. The approach presented is inspired by the so called Masuda-Stewart technique for elliptic operators. It is shown furthermore that the method presented applies also to different type of boundary conditions as, e.g., Robin boundary conditions.
