Long time dynamics for functional three-dimensional Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations

Abstract

In this paper we consider a non-autonomous Navier-Stokes-Voigt model including a variety of delay terms in a unified formulation. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions by using a Galerkin scheme. Next, we prove the existence and eventual uniqueness of stationary solutions, as well as their exponential stability by using three methods: first, a Lyapunov function which requires differentiability for the delays; next we exploit the Razumikhin technique to weaken the differentiability assumption to just continuity; finally, we use a Gronwall-like type of argument to provide sufficient conditions for the exponential stability in a general case which, in particular, for a situation of variable delay, it only requires measurability of the variable delay function.
