Abstract:
It is proved that the Stokes operator in Lq -space on an infinite cylindrical domain of , , with several exits to infinity generates a bounded and exponentially decaying analytic semigroup and admits a bounded -calculus. For the resolvent estimates, the Stokes resolvent system with a prescribed divergence in an infinite straight cylinder with bounded cross-section is studied in Lq where and is an arbitrary Muckenhoupt weight. The proofs use cut-off techniques and the theory of Schauder decomposition of UMD spaces based on -boundedness of operator families and on square function estimates involving Muckenhoupt weights.
