Half-Space Model Problem for Navier-Lamé Equations with Surface Tension

Abstract

Recently, we have seen the phenomena in use of partial differential equations (PDEs) especially in fluid dynamic area. The classical approach of the analysis of PDEs were dominated in early nineteenth century. As we know that for PDEs the fundamental theoretical question is whether the model problem consists of equation and its associated side condition is well-posed. There are many ways to investigate that the model problems are well-posed. Because of that reason, in this paper we consider the <img src=image/13426244_01.gif>-boundedness of the solution operator families for Navier-Lamé equation by taking into account the surface tension in a bounded domain of <img src=image/13426244_02.gif>-dimensional Euclidean space (<img src=image/13426244_02.gif>≥ 2) as one way to study the well-posedess. We investigate the <img src=image/13426244_01.gif>-boundedness in half-space domain case. The <img src=image/13426244_01.gif>-boundedness implies not only the generation of analytic semigroup but also the maximal <img src=image/13426244_03.gif> regularity for the initial boundary value problem by using Weis's operator valued Fourier multiplier theorem for time dependent problem. It was known that the maximal <img src=image/13426244_03.gif> regularity class is the powerful tool to prove the well-posesness of the model problem. This result can be used for further research for example to analyze the boundedness of the solution operators of the model problem in bent-half space or general domain case.
