We consider the initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations (\textbf{CNS}) in the domain exterior to a ball in $\mathbb R^d$ $(d=2\ \text{or} \ 3)$. When viscosity coefficients are given as…
It is proved that the only geodesically complete stationary vacuum solution of the Einstein equations is the empty Minkowski space, or a quotient of it by a discrete group of isometries, generalizing a classical result of Lichnerowicz. In…
In this paper, we are concerned with the first initial boundary value problem for a class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations on Riemannian manifolds. As usual, the establishment of the a priori C^2 estimates is our main part. Based on…
