A Runge-type approximation theorem for the 3D unsteady Stokes system (2408.17228v1)

Abstract: We investigate Runge-type approximation theorems for solutions to the 3D unsteady Stokes system. More precisely, we establish that on any compact set with connected complement, local smooth solutions to the 3D unsteady Stokes system can be approximated with an arbitrary small positive error in $L^\infty$ norm by a global solution of the 3D unsteady Stokes system, where the velocity grows at most exponentially at spatial infinity and the pressure grows polynomially. Additionally, by considering a parasitic solution to the Stokes system, we establish that some growths at infinity are indeed necessary.
