Abstract

The Neumann problem for the Stokes system is studied on a domain in R 3 with Ljapunov bounded boundary. We construct a solution of this problem in the form of appropriate potentials and determine unknown source densities via integral equation systems on the boundary of the domain. The solution is given explicitly in the form of a series.
