It is shown that for given $T>0$ this problem admits a unique, strong solution on $(0,T)$ provided the initial data are sufficiently small in their natural norms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-11T09:08:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-newtonian fluids", "strong solution", "two-phase free boundary problem subject", "surface tension", "gravitational forces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150903428H" } } }
