We construct non-negative weak solutions of fast diffusion equations with a divergence type of drift term satisfying the $L^q$-energy inequality and speed estimate in Wasserstein spaces under some integrability conditions on the drift term. Furthermore, in the case that the drift term has a divergence-free structure, it turns out that its integrability conditions can be relaxed, which is also applicable to porous medium equations, thereby improving previous results. As an application, the existence of weak solutions is also discussed for a viscous Boussinesq system of the fast diffusion type., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2306.08237

We consider nonlinear drift-diffusion equations (both porous medium equations and fast diffusion equations) with a measure-valued external force. We establish existence of nonnegative weak solutions satisfying gradient estimates, provided that the drift term belongs to a sub-scaling class relevant to $L^1$-space. If the drift is divergence-free, such a class is, however, relaxed so that drift suffices to be included in a certain supercritical scaling class, and the nonlinear diffusion can be less restrictive as well. By handling both the measure data and the drift, we obtain a new type of energy estimates. As an application, we construct weak solutions for a specific type of nonlinear diffusion equation with measure data coupled to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations., Comment: 20 pages

In this paper, we investigate the incompressible viscous and resistive Hall magnetohydrodynamic equations (Hall MHD in short). We first study the regularity of the magneto-vorticity field $B+\omega$. In three dimensions, we derive some bounds of $B+\omega$ under a condition of the velocity field $u$. Moreover, if we consider the Hall MHD with 2D variables, the uniform-in-time bounds of $B+\omega$ come from the three dimensional case. The regularity of $B+\omega$ gives us a crucial clue of blow-up scenario and provides conditions of the existence of global-in-time solutions. In particular, we prove the global well-posedness of the Hall MHD (also the electron MHD) with 2D variables when the third component of the initial current density $J_0=\nabla\times B_0$ is sufficiently small. We also derive temporal decay rate of $B+\omega$., Comment: 21 pages

This paper is devoted to studying the well-posedness, (conditional) conservation of magnetic helicity, inviscid limit and asymptotic stability of the generalized Navier-Stokes-Maxwell equations (NSM) under the Hall effect in two and three dimensions. More precisely, in the viscous case we prove the global well-posedness of NSM for small initial data, which allows us to establish a connection with either the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics (H-MHD) system as the speed of light tends to infinity or NSM without the Hall coefficient as this constant goes to zero. In addition, in the inviscid case the local well-posedness of NSM is also obtained for possibly large initial data. Moreover, under suitable conditions on the initial data and additional assumptions of solutions to NSM in three dimensions, the magnetic helicity is conserved as the electric conductivity goes to infinity. It is different to the case of the fractional H-MHD with critical fractional Laplacian exponents for both the velocity and magnetic fields, where the conservation of magnetic helicity can be provided for smooth initial data without any further conditions on the solution. Furthermore, the asymptotic stability of NSM around a constant magnetic field is established in the case of having a velocity damping term., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2401.14839

This paper investigates the repulsive chemotaxis-consumption model \begin{align*} \partial_t u &= \nabla \cdot (D(u) \nabla u) + \nabla \cdot (u \nabla v), \\ 0 &= \Delta v - uv \end{align*} in an $n$-dimensional ball, $n \ge 3$, where the diffusion coefficient $D$ is an appropriate extension of the function $0\le\xi\mapsto(1+\xi)^{m-1}$ for some $m>0$. Under the boundary conditions \begin{equation*} \nu \cdot (D(u) \nabla u + u \nabla v) = 0 \quad\text{ and }\quad v = M>0,\end{equation*} we first demonstrate that for $m > 1$, or $m = 1$ with $0 < M < 2/(n-2)$, the system admits globally defined classical solutions that are uniformly bounded in time for any choice of sufficiently smooth radial initial data. This result is further extended to the case $0

In this paper, we present a series of applications of the pointwise estimates of the (unrestricted) Green tensor of the nonstationary Stokes system in the half space, established in our previous work [CMP 2023]. First, we show the $L^1$-$L^q$ estimates for the Stokes flow with possibly non-solenoidal $L^1$ initial data, generalizing the results of Giga-Matsui-Shimizu [Math. Z. 1999] and Desch-Hieber-Pr\"uss [J. Evol. Equ. 2001]. Second, we construct mild solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the half space with mixed-type pointwise decay or with pointwise decay alongside boundary vanishing. Finally, we explore various coupled fluid systems in the half space including viscous resistive magnetohydrodynamics equations, a coupled system for the flow and the magnetic field of MHD type, and the nematic liquid crystal flow. For each of these systems, we construct mild solutions in $L^q$, pointwise decay, and uniformly local $L^q$ spaces.

We consider a system of nonlinear partial differential equations modeling the unsteady motion of an incompressible generalized Newtonian fluid with chemical reactions. The system consists of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with power-law type viscosity with a power-law index depending on the concentration, and the convection-diffusion equation which describes chemical concentration. This system of partial differential equations arises in the mathematical models describing the synovial fluid which can be found in the cavities of movable joints. We prove the existence of a global strong solution for the two and three-dimensional spatially periodic domain, provided that the power-law index is greater than or equal to $(d+2)/2$ where $d$ is the dimension of the spatial domain. Moreover, we also prove that such a solution is unique under the further assumption that $p^+ < \frac{3}{2} p^-$ for the two-dimensional case and $p^+ < \frac{7}{6}p^-$ for the three-dimensional case, where $p^-$ and $p^+$ are the lower and upper bounds of the power-law index $p(\cdot)$ respectively.

Local behaviors near boundary are analyzed for solutions of the Stokes and Navier-Stoke equations in the half space with localized non-smooth boundary data. We construct solutions of Stokes equations whose velocity field is not bounded near boundary away from the support of boundary data, although velocity and gradient velocity of solutions are locally square integrable. This is an improvement compared to known results in the sense that velocity field is unbounded itself, since previously constructed solutions were bounded near boundary, although their normal derivatives are singular. We also establish singular solutions and their derivatives that do not belong to $L^q_{\rm{loc}}$ near boundary with $q> 1$. For such examples, there corresponding pressures turn out not to be locally integrable. Similar construction via a perturbation argument is available to the Navier-Stokes equations near boundary as well.

This paper deals with the Toner-Tu (TT) model, which is a hydrodynamic model describing the collective motion of numerous self-propelled agents. We analytically study the global-in-time well-posedness of the TT model near the steady-state solution in the ordered phase. We also show the large-time behavior of solutions showing that the steady-state solution is polynomially stable in a Sobolev space in the sense that solutions that are initially close to that steady state converge to that at least polynomially fast as time tends to infinity. Moreover, we investigate the variant of the TT model which describes the dynamics of the actin filament.

This paper is devoted to studying the well-posedness, conservation of magnetic helicity, inviscid limit and asymptotic stability of the generalized Navier-Stokes-Maxwell (NSM) equations with the standard Ohm's law in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d \in \{2,3\}$. More precisely, the global well-posedness is established in case of fractional Laplacian velocity $(-\Delta)^\alpha v$ with $\alpha = \frac{d}{2}$ for suitable data. In addition, the local well-posedness in the inviscid case is also provided for sufficient smooth data, which allows us to study the inviscid limit of associated positive viscosity solutions in the case $\alpha = 1$, where an explicit bound on the difference is given. Furthermore, in three dimensions if the initial data satisfies futher suitable conditions then magnetic helicity is conserved as the electric conductivity goes to infinity. On the other hand, in the case $\alpha = 0$ the stability near a magnetohydrostatic equilibrium with a constant (or equivalently bounded) magnetic field is also obtained in which nonhomogeneous Sobolev norms of the velocity and electric fields, and for $p \in (2,\infty]$ the $L^p$ norm of the magnetic field converge to zero as time goes to infinity with an implicit rate. In this velocity damping case, the situation is different both in case of the two and a half, and three-dimensional (Hall)-magnetohydrodynamics ((H)-MHD) system, where an explicit rate of convergence in infinite time is computed for both the velocity and magnetic fields in nonhomogeneous Sobolev norms. Therefore, it seems that there is a gap between NSM and MHD in terms of the norm convergence of the magnetic field and the rate of decaying in time, even the latter equations can be proved as a limiting system of the former one in the sense of distributions as the speed of light tends to infinity.

We consider a parabolic-elliptic type of Keller-Segel equations with generalized diffusion and logistic source under homogeneous Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions. We construct bounded weak solutions globally in time in an unbalanced optimal transport framework, provided that the magnitude of the chemotactic sensitivity can be restricted depending on parameters. In the case of subquadratic degradation of the logistic source, we quantify the chemotactic sensitivity, in particular, in terms of the power of degradation and the pointwise bound of the initial density., Comment: 29 pages

We study the Stokes system with the localized boundary data in the half-space. We are concerned with the local regularity of its solution near the boundary away from the support of the given boundary data which are product forms of each spatial variable and the temporal variable. We first show that if the boundary data are smooth in time, the corresponding solutions are also smooth in space and time near the boundary, even if the boundary data are only spatially integrable. Secondly, if the normal component of the boundary data is absent, we are able to construct a solution such that its second normal derivatives of the tangential components become singular near the boundary. Perturbation argument enables us to construct solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with similar singular behaviors near the boundary in the half-space as the case of Stokes system. Lastly, we provide specific types of the localized boundary data to obtain the pointwise bounds of the solutions up to second derivatives. It turns out that such solutions are globally strong, and the second normal derivatives are, however, unbounded near the boundary. These results can be compared to the previous works in which only the normal component is present. In fact, the temporally non-smooth tangential boundary data can also cause spatially singular behaviors near the boundary, although such behaviors are milder than those caused by the normal boundary data of the same type., Comment: 52 pages, 3 figures

The paper is devoted to investigating the well-posedness, stability and large-time behavior near the hydrostatic balance for the 2D Boussinesq equations with partial dissipation. More precisely, the global well-posedness is obtained in the case of partial viscosity and without thermal diffusion for the initial data belonging to $H^{\delta}(\mathbb{R}^2) \times H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $\delta \in [s-1,s+1]$ if $s \in \mathbb{R}, s > 2$, for $\delta \in (1,s+1]$ if $s \in (0,2]$ and for $\delta \in [0,1]$ if $s = 0$. In addition, if one has either horizontal or vertical thermal diffusion then the stability and large-time behavior are provided in $H^m(\mathbb{R}^2)$, $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and in $\dot{H}^{m-1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with $m \in \mathbb{N}$, $m \geq 2$, respectively., Comment: Revised version

We study porous medium equations with a divergence form of drift terms in a bounded domain with no-flux lateral boundary conditions. We establish $L^q$-weak solutions for $ 1\leq q < \infty$ in Wasserstein space under appropriate conditions on the drift, which is an extension of authors' previous works done in the whole space into the case of bounded domains. Applying existence results to a certain Keller-Segel equation of consumption type, construction of $L^q$-weak solutions is also made, in case that the equation of a biological organism is of porous medium type., Comment: 37 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2111.04278

We prove that there exists a weak solution of the Stokes system with a non-zero external force and no-slip boundary conditions in a half space of dimensions three and higher so that its normal derivatives are unbounded near boundary. A localized and divergence free singular force causes, via non-local effect, singular behaviors of normal derivatives for the solution near boundary, although such boundary is away from the support of the external force. The constructed one is a weak solution that has finite energy globally, and it can be comparable to the one in \cite{Seregin-Sverak10} as a form of a shear flow that is of only locally finite energy. Similar construction is performed for the Navier-Stokes equations as well.

This paper is devoted to presenting new interior regularity criteria in terms of one velocity component for weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions. It is shown that the velocity is regular near a point $z$ if its scaled $L^p_tL^q_x$-norm of some quantities related to the velocity field is finite and the scaled $L^p_tL^q_x$-norm of one velocity component is sufficiently small near $z$.

This paper deals with a parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis-consumption system with tensor-valued sensitivity $S(x,n,c)$ under no-flux boundary conditions for $n$ and Robin-type boundary conditions for $c$. The global existence of bounded classical solutions is established in dimension two under general assumptions on tensor-valued sensitivity $S$. One of main steps is to show that $\nabla c(\cdot,t)$ becomes tiny in $L^{2}(B_{r}(x)\cap \Omega)$ for every $x\in\overline{\Omega}$ and $t$ when $r$ is sufficiently small, which seems to be of independent interest. On the other hand, in the case of scalar-valued sensitivity $S=\chi(x,n,c)\mathbb{I}$, there exists a bounded classical solution globally in time for two and higher dimensions provided the domain is a ball with radius $R$ and all given data are radial. The result of the radial case covers scalar-valued sensitivity $\chi$ that can be singular at $c=0$.

We consider degenerate porous medium equations with a divergence type of drift terms. We establish the existence of $L^{q}$-weak solutions (satisfying energy estimates or even further with moment and speed estimates in Wasserstein spaces), in case the drift term belongs to a sub-scaling (including scaling invariant) class depending on $q$ and $m$ caused by the nonlinear structure of diffusion, which is a major difference compared to that of a linear case. It is noticeable that the classes of drift terms become wider if the drift term is divergence-free. Similar conditions of gradients of drift terms are also provided to ensure the existence of such weak solutions. Uniqueness results follow under an additional condition on the gradients of the drift terms with the aid of methods developed in Wasserstein spaces. One of our main tools is so called the splitting method to construct a sequence of approximated solutions, which implies, bypassing to the limit, the existence of weak solutions satisfying not only an energy inequality but also moment and speed estimates. One of the crucial points in the construction is uniform H\"{o}lder continuity up to initial time for homogeneous porous medium equations, which seems to be of independent interest. As an application, we improve a regularity result for solutions of a repulsive Keller-Segel system of porous medium type., Comment: 78 pages

In this paper, we deal with the $2\frac{1}{2}$ dimensional Hall MHD by taking the velocity field $u$ and the magnetic field $B$ of the form $u(t,x,y)=\left(\nabla^{\perp}\phi(t,x,y), W(t,x,y)\right)$ and $B(t,x,y)=\left(\nabla^{\perp}\psi(t,x,y), Z(t,x,y)\right)$. We begin with the Hall equations (without the effect of the fluid part). We first show the long time behavior of weak solutions and weak-strong uniqueness. We then proceed to prove the existence of unique strong solutions locally in time and to derive a blow-up criterion. We also demonstrate that the strong solution exists globally in time and decay algebraically if some smallness conditions are imposed. We further improve the decay rates of $\psi$ using the structure of the equation of $\psi$. As a consequence of the decay rates of $(\psi,Z)$, we find the asymptotic profiles of $(\psi,Z)$. We finally show that a small perturbation of initial data near zero can be extended to a small perturbations near harmonic functions. In the presence of the fluid filed, the results, by comparison, fall short of the previous ones in the absence of the fluid part. We prove two results: the existence of unique strong solutions locally in time and a blow-up criterion, and the existence of unique strong solutions globally in time with some smallness condition on initial data.

We are concerned with local regularity of the solutions for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations near boundary. Firstly, we construct a bounded solution but its normal derivatives are singular in any $L^p$ with $1

For the Stokes system in the half space, Kang [Math.~Ann.~2005] showed that a solution generated by a compactly supported, H\"older continuous boundary flux may have unbounded normal derivatives near the boundary. In this paper we first prove explicit global pointwise estimates of the above solution, showing in particular that it has finite global energy and its derivatives blow up everywhere on the boundary away from the flux. We then use the above solution as a profile to construct solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations which also have finite global energy and unbounded normal derivatives due to the flux. Our main tool is the pointwise estimates of the Green tensor of the Stokes system proved by us in \cite{Green} (arXiv:2011.00134). We also examine the Stokes flows generated by dipole bumps boundary flux, and identify the regions where the normal derivatives of the solutions tend to positive or negative infinity near the boundary., Comment: 47 pages.

We study the regular sets of local energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in terms of conditions on the initial data. It is shown that if a weighted $L^2$ norm of the initial data is finite, then all local energy solutions are regular in a region confined by space-time hypersurfaces determined by the weight. This result refines and generalizes Theorems C and D of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 35; 1982) and our recent paper [15] as well., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2006.13145

We consider the Keller-Segel system of consumption type coupled with an incompressible fluid equation. The system describes the dynamics of oxygen and bacteria densities evolving within a fluid. We establish local well-posedness of the system in Sobolev spaces for partially inviscid and fully inviscid cases. In the latter, additional assumptions on the initial data are required when either the oxygen or bacteria density touches zero. Even though the oxygen density satisfies a maximum principle due to consumption, we prove finite time blow-up of its $C^{2}$--norm with certain initial data., Comment: 39 pages, Comm.

We consider a class of logarithmic Keller-Segel type systems modeling the spatio-temporal behavior of either chemotactic cells or criminal activities in spatial dimensions two and higher. Under certain assumptions on parameter values and given functions, the existence of classical solutions is established globally in time, provided that initial data are sufficiently regular. In particular, we enlarge the range of chemotatic sensitivity $\chi$, compared to known results, in case that spatial dimensions are between two and eight. In addition, we provide new type of small initial data to obtain global classical solution, which is also applicable to the urban crime model. We discuss long-time asymptotic behaviors of solutions as well., Comment: 21 pages

We prove the first ever pointwise estimates of the (unrestricted) Green tensor and the associated pressure tensor of the nonstationary Stokes system in the half-space, for every space dimension greater than one. The force field is not necessarily assumed to be solenoidal. The key is to find a suitable Green tensor formula which maximizes the tangential decay, showing in particular the integrability of Green tensor derivatives. With its pointwise estimates, we show the symmetry of the Green tensor, which in turn improves pointwise estimates. We also study how the solutions converge to the initial data, and the (infinitely many) restricted Green tensors acting on solenoidal vector fields. As applications, we give new proofs of existence of mild solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $L^q$, pointwise decay, and uniformly local $L^q$ spaces in the half-space., Comment: A missing error term V_{ij} added in Lemma 4.2; Subsection 5.2 added to estimate V_{ij}; Reference [21] updated; Grant information updated

We are concerned with large-time behaviors of solutions for Vlasov--Navier--Stokes equations in two dimensions and Vlasov-Stokes system in three dimensions including the effect of velocity alignment/misalignment. We first revisit the large-time behavior estimate for our main system and refine assumptions on the dimensions and a communication weight function. In particular, this allows us to take into account the effect of the misalignment interactions between particles. We then use a sharp heat kernel estimate to obtain the exponential time decay of fluid velocity to its average in $L^\infty$-norm. For the kinetic part, by employing a certain type of Sobolev norm weighted by modulations of averaged particle velocity, we prove the exponential time decay of the particle distribution, provided that local particle distribution function is uniformly bounded. Moreover, we show that the support of particle distribution function in velocity shrinks to a point, which is the mean of averaged initial particle and fluid velocities, exponentially fast as time goes to infinity. This also provides that for any $p \in [1,\infty]$, the $p$-Wasserstein distance between the particle distribution function and the tensor product of the local particle distributions and Dirac measure at that point in velocity converges exponentially fast to zero as time goes to infinity.

We prove an $\epsilon$-regularity criterion for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in terms of initial data. It shows that if a scaled local $L^2$ norm of initial data is sufficiently small around the origin, a suitable weak solution is regular in a set enclosed by a paraboloid started from the origin. The result is applied to the estimate of the regular set for local energy solutions with initial data in weighted $L^2$ spaces. We also apply this result to studying energy concentration near a possible blow-up time and regularity of forward discretely self-similar solutions.

In this paper, we are concerned with local minimizers of an interaction energy governed by repulsive-attractive potentials of power-law type in one dimension. We prove that sum of two Dirac masses is the unique local minimizer under the $\lambda-$Wasserstein metric topology with $1\le \lambda<\infty$, provided masses and distance of Dirac deltas are equally half and one, respectively. In addition, in case of $\infty$-Wasserstein metric, we characterize stability of steady-state solutions depending on powers of interaction potentials., Comment: 21 pages. Minor corrections in Theorem 1 and Lemma 4 were made in v3

We consider a coupled system of Keller-Segel type equations and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in spatial dimension two and three. In the previous work [19], we established the existence of a weak solution of a Fokker-Plank equation in the Wasserstein space using the optimal transportation technique. Exploiting this result, we constructed solutions of Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes equations such that the density of biological organism belongs to the absolutely continuous curves in the Wasserstein space. In this work, we refine the result on the existence of a weak solution of a Fokker-Plank equation in the Wasserstein space. As a result, we construct solutions of Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes equations under weaker assumptions on the initial data.

We consider generalized models on coral broadcast spawning phenomena involving diffusion, advection, chemotaxis, and reactions when egg and sperm densities are different. We prove the global-in-time existence of the regular solutions of the models as well as their temporal decays in two and three dimensions. We also show that the total masses of egg and sperm density have positive lower bounds as time tends to infinity in three dimensions., Comment: 27 pages

We consider the Cauchy problem for coupled system of Vlasov and non-Newtonian fluid equations. We establish local well--posedness of the strong solutions, provided that the initial data are regular enough. Global existence of unique strong solutions for any given time interval is shown as well if the initial data are sufficiently small., Comment: 28 pages

We prove short time regularity of suitable weak solutions of 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations near a point where the initial data is locally in $L^3$. The result is applied to the regularity problems of solutions with uniformly small local $L^3$ norms, and of forward discretely self-similar solutions.

We study Caccioppoli's inequalities of the non-stationary Stokes equations and Navier-Stokes equations. Our analysis is local near boundary and we prove that, in contrast to the interior case, the Caccioppoli's inequalities of the Stokes equations and the Navier-Stokes equations, in general, fail near boundary.

For spatially one-dimensional run-and-tumble dynamics with mass conservation we develop a coarse phase diagram, that discriminates between global decay to equidistributed constant states, existence of spatially non-trivial waves, and finite time blowup of solutions. Motivated by counter-migrating ripples of high and low population density and fruiting body formation in myxobacteria, we identify phase boundaries as particular critical tumbling dynamics that allow for switching between these spatio-temporal phases upon slight changes in mass densities or parameter values., Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures

We prove the uniqueness of H\"older continuous weak solutions via duality argument and vanishing viscosity method for the Keller-Segel system of porous medium type equations coupled to the Stokes system in dimensions three. An important step is the estimate of the Green function of parabolic equations with lower order terms of variable coefficients, which seems to be of independent interest.

We are concerned with existence of regular solutions for non-Newtonian fluids in dimension three. For a certain type of non-Newtonian fluids we prove local existence of unique regular solutions, provided that the initial data are sufficiently smooth. Moreover, if the $H^3$-norm of initial data is sufficiently small, then the regular solution exists globally in time., Comment: 28 pages, updated version

We consider a coupled system consisting of a degenerate porous medium type of Keller-Segel system and Stokes system modeling the motion of swimming bacteria living in fluid and consuming oxygen. We establish the global existence of weak solutions and H\"older continuous solutions in dimension three, under the assumption that the power of degeneracy is above a certain number depending on given parameter values. To show H\"older continuity of weak solutions, we consider a single degenerate porous medium equation with lower order terms, and via a unified method of proof, we obtain H\"older regularity, which is of independent interest.

A simplified model of the tumor angiogenesis can be described by a Keller-Segel equation \cite{FrTe,Le,Pe}. The stability of traveling waves for the one dimensional system has recently been known by \cite{JinLiWa,LiWa}. In this paper we consider the equation on the two dimensional domain $ (x, y) \in \mathbf R \times {\mathbf S^{\lambda}}$ for a small parameter $\lambda>0$ where $ \mathbf S^{\lambda}$ is the circle of perimeter $\lambda$. Then the equation allows a planar traveling wave solution of invading types. We establish the nonlinear stability of the traveling wave solution if the initial perturbation is sufficiently small in a weighted Sobolev space without a chemical diffusion. When the diffusion is present, we show a linear stability. Lastly, we prove that any solution with our front conditions eventually becomes planar under certain regularity conditions. The key ideas are to use the Cole-Hopf transformation and to apply the Poincar\'{e} inequality to handle with the two dimensional structure., Comment: 35 pages, 1 figures, submitted

We derive refined estimates of the Green tensor of the stationary Stokes system in the half space. We then investigate the spatial asymptotics of stationary solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the half space. We also discuss the asymptotics of fast decaying flows in the whole space and exterior domains. In the Appendix we consider axisymmetric self-similar solutions., Comment: one reference added

We consider Stokes system in bounded domains and we present conditions of given data, in particular, boundary data, which ensure H\"older continuity of solutions. For H\"older continuous solutions for the Stokes system the normal component of boundary data requires a bit more regular than boundary data of H\"older continuous solutions for the heat equation. We also construct an example, which shows that H\"older continuity is no longer valid, unless the proposed condition of boundary data is fulfilled. As an application, we consider a certain general types of nonlinear systems coupled to fluid equations and local well-posedness is established in H\"older spaces.
