The problem is modeled by the steady case of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations, where the exponent $q$ that characterizes the flow depends on the space variable: $q=q(\\mathbf{x})$. For the associated boundary-value problem we show that, in some situations, the log-H\\\"older continuity condition on $q$ can be dropped and the result of the existence of weak solutions still remain valid for any variable exponent $q\\geq\\alpha>\\frac{2N}{N+2}$, where $\\alpha=\\mathrm{ess}\\inf q$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-30T13:01:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "76D03", "76D05", "35J60", "35Q30", "35Q35" ], "keywords": [ "weak solutions", "non-newtonian viscous fluid problems", "steady case", "generalized navier-stokes equations", "flow depends" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.6799B" } } }
