Non Uniqueness of power-law flows

Abstract

We apply the technique of convex integration to obtain non-uniqueness and existence results for power-law fluids, in dimension d2d\ge 2. For the power index qq below the compactness threshold, i.e. q(1,2dd+2)q \in (1, \frac{2d}{d+2}), we show ill-posedness of Leray-Hopf solutions. For a wider class of indices q(1,3d+2d+2)q \in (1, \frac{3d+2}{d+2}) we show ill-posedness of distributional (non-Leray-Hopf) solutions, extending the seminal paper of Buckmaster and Vicol. In this wider class we also construct non-unique solutions for every datum in L2L^2.
