Abstract

In this article we study the electrorheological fluid equation ut = div(ρα|∇u|p(x)-2∇u), where ρ(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω) is the distance from the boundary, p(x) ∈ C1(Ω̅), and p¯ = min x∈Ω̅p(x) > 1. We show how the degeneracy of ρα on the boundary affects the well-posedness of the weak solutions. In particular, the local stability of the weak solutions is established without any boundary value condition.
