Negative Orlicz-Sobolev norms and strongly nonlinear systems in fluid mechanics

Abstract

We prove a version of the negative norm theorem in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. A study of continuity properties of the Bogovskii -operator between Orlicz spaces is a crucial step, of independent interest, in our approach. Applications to the problem of pressure reconstruction for Non-Newtonian fluids governed by constitutive laws, which are not necessarily power type, are presented. A key inequality for a numerical analysis of the underlying elliptic system is also derived.
