On the ‐boundedness of solution operator families of the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in an infinite layer

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we prove the ‐boundedness of solution operator families of the generalized Stokes resolvent problem in an infinite layer with resolvent parameter , where , and our boundary conditions are nonhomogeneous Neumann on upper boundary and Dirichlet on lower boundary. We want to emphasize that we can choose 0 < ϵ < π ∕ 2 and γ0 > 0 arbitrarily, although usual parabolic theorem tells us that we must choose a large γ0 > 0 for given 0 < ϵ < π ∕ 2. We also prove the maximal Lp − Lq regularity theorem of the nonstationary Stokes problem as an application of the ‐boundedness. The key of our approach is to apply several technical lemmas to the exact solution formulas of a resolvent problem. The formulas are obtained through the solutions of the ODEs, in the Fourier space, driven by the partial Fourier transform with respect to tangential space variable .
