Recovering a Constant in the Two-Dimensional Navier-Stokes System with No Initial Condition
We deal with the -Navier-Stokes system endowed with Cauchy boundary conditions, but with no initial condition. We assume that the right-hand side is of the form , where is an unknown constant. To determine we are given a functional involving the velocity field . First we prove uniqueness for the pair , via suitable weak Carleman estimates, and then we show the locally Lipschitz-continuous dependence of on the data.
