A uniqueness theorem for Navier-Stokes equations

Chun Ming Ma

Vol. 93 (1981), No. 2, 387–405
Abstract

In this paper we consider the initial boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes equations in several types of unbounded three-dimensional domains Ω. We prove uniqueness within a class of solutions, which we call “weak class H0 solutions”, whose members satisfy the integrability conditions u, Δu L2(0,T;L2(Ω)). Moreover, the solutions are shown to depend continuously on their initial values. The results are based, primarily on establishing a simple characterization of a certain space H0(Ω) of solenoidal functions.
