Abstract (VO)

We study higher local integrability of a weak solution to the steady Stokes problem. We consider the case of a pressure- and shear-rate-dependent viscosity, i.e., the elliptic part of the Stokes problem is assumed to be nonlinear and it depends on $p$ and on the symmetric part of a gradient of $u$, namely, it is represented by a stress tensor $T(Du,p):=\nu (p,|D|^2)D$ which satisfies $r$-growth condition with $r\in (1,2]$. In order to get the main result, we use Calderón-Zygmund theory and the method which was presented for example in the paper Caffarelli, Peral (1998).
