On the uniqueness for weak solutions of steady double-phase fluids

We consider a double-phase non-Newtonian fluid, described by a stress tensor which is the sum of a p-Stokes and a q-Stokes stress tensor, with 1 < p<2 < q<∞. For a wide range of parameters (p, q), we prove the uniqueness of small solutions. We use the p < 2 features to obtain quadrati...

description We consider a double-phase non-Newtonian fluid, described by a stress tensor which is the sum of a p-Stokes and a q-Stokes stress tensor, with 1 < p<2 < q<∞. For a wide range of parameters (p, q), we prove the uniqueness of small solutions. We use the p < 2 features to obtain quadratic-type estimates for the stress-tensor, while we use the improved regularity coming from the term with q > 2 to justify calculations for weak solutions. Results are obtained through a careful use of the symmetries of the convective term and are also valid for rather general (even anisotropic) stress-tensors.
