The Green function for the Stokes system with measurable coefficients

Abstract

We study the Green function for the stationary Stokes system with bounded measurable coefficients in a bounded Lipschitz domain ΩRn\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n, n3n\ge 3. We construct the Green function in Ω\Omega under the condition (A1)(\bf{A1}) that weak solutions of the system enjoy interior H\"older continuity. We also prove that (A1)(\bf{A1}) holds, for example, when the coefficients are VMO\mathrm{VMO}. Moreover, we obtain the global pointwise estimate for the Green function under the additional assumption (A2)(\bf{A2}) that weak solutions of Dirichlet problems are locally bounded up to the boundary of the domain. By proving a priori LqL^q-estimates for Stokes systems with BMO\mathrm{BMO} coefficients on a Reifenberg domain, we verify that (A2)(\bf{A2}) is satisfied when the coefficients are VMO\mathrm{VMO} and Ω\Omega is a bounded C1C^1 domain.
