Spatial $C^1$, $C^2$, and Schauder estimates for nonstationary Stokes equations with Dini mean oscillation coefficients (2412.20125v1)

Abstract: We establish the spatial differentiability of weak solutions to nonstationary Stokes equations in divergence form with variable viscosity coefficients having $L_2$-Dini mean oscillations. As a corollary, we derive local spatial Schauder estimates for such equations if the viscosity coefficient belongs to $C^\alpha_x$. Similar results also hold for strong solutions to nonstationary Stokes equations in nondivergence form.
