1. Introduction Some fluids used in industry cannot be modelized by the ‘‘classical” Navier—Stokes equations which follow from the linear constitutive law p"!pI#l( u#R u), where l'0 is the viscosity. For example, liquid crystals, some oils and others (see, e.g., [1—4] and references therein) are modelized by constitutive laws taking into account non-linear characteristics which are shown by experiments. In the case of differential type fluids, there exists a number of

constitutive laws. One of the most used actually has been introduced by Rivlin and Ericksen [5]. The fluids described by this law are called fluids of grade n. Here, we are interested more precisely in incompressible third-grade fluids, i.e. fluids obeying a non-linear constitutive law in which the stress is expressed in terms of the pressure and of some tensors of Rivlin—Ericksen type: p"!pI#lA #aA #bA#c(trA)A , where A " u#R u, d A " A #A u#R uA . dt

For physical reasons, [6, Proposition 1.1] or [7], one assumes l'0,
c*0, a*0.
The stress is related to the velocity by the following equations: * u#(u ) )u! ) p"f, R
) u"0, u(0)"u , u" "0. f As usual, we define the potential P"P(u, p) (which has no physical meaning) by P"au ) *u# (2a#b)"A "! "u"!p. Thus, the previous equations can be rewritten in the following form: * (u!a*u)!l*u#( ;(u!a*u));u# P R "f#(a#b)N (u)#cN (u), (2a)
) u"0, u(0)"u , u" "0, (2b) f with N (u)"A *u#2 ) ( u (R u)), (3a) N (u)" ) ((tr A)A ). (3b) For c"0 and a"b"0, we find the classical Navier—Stokes equations. For c"0 and a"!b, we find the equations of second-grade fluids. A number of authors have studied the existence problem in this case for a simply-connected domain ) with a connected boundary and in the case r"2. Cioranescu and Ouazar [8], for instance, have given the local existence for a solution in a regular enough domain, and more recently Cioranescu and Girault [9], Galdi and Sequeira [10] have given the global existence in time (on [0,#R)) of a solution under suitable assumptions on the data and ) of class C, simply-connected. Let us go back to the third-grade case. With the supplementary hypothesis b*0, a'0 and "b#a")(24lc, Amrouche [3], Amrouche and Cioranescu [6] have given the local existence of a solution for ) of class C and simply-connected with a connected boundary; Sequeira and Videman [11] have given the global existence in time (on
[0,R)) of a solution for ) regular enough, simplyconnected, and for small enough data. Here, at first, we prove (Theorem 1) the local existence and the uniqueness of a solution of Eq. (2) for a'0 in any domain of class C. Next, we prove (Theorem 2) the global existence (on [0,R)) if in addition the data are ‘‘small enough” and f3¸(0,R;¸P())) or f3¸P(0,R; ¸P()))5¸(0,R;¸P())). We do not need *) to be connected and C, as in the previous works, since we solve directly the system Eq. (2) instead of using the image of this system by the curl operator. The results have been given in [12] with the supplementary assumptions a, l/a great enough to ensure the global existence. Here we have modified the given uncoupled system to get rid of these conditions. We use a more simple decomposition than in [13] or in [14]. We do not need to assume ) simply-connected to ensure the global existence as it was also supposed by Galdi [13]. Even though we consider homogeneous boundary conditions in this paper, let us note that the study of the inhomogeneous case u"u on * *);(0,¹) is of fundamental importance when we want to modelize the dynamics of the normal stress difference effect. But this boundary condition will not be sufficient to ensure well posedness of the problem. In [15,16], for instance, we can find elementary solutions in bounded and unbounded domains which do not possess the uniqueness property if the condition u ) n"0 is violated with * n the unit normal vector of the boundary. This last condition is not reasonable in a lot of interesting physical problems. Thus, Galdi et al. [17] have given an existence result with a suitable initial condition with the help of a fixed point on a multivalued map without imposing the condition u ) n"0. In [18,19], it has been proved in un* bounded domains that we can augment boundary conditions or use boundnedness requirements to obtain a well-posedness problem. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the main results and the sketch of the proof are given. In Section 3, some functional spaces definitions and a result on a compact imbedding which is essential in our proof when we apply the Schauder Theorem are given. In Section 4, the local existence

Theorem is proved after the study of a transport equation and of a system which is practically a Stokes system. In Section 5, the uniqueness of the solution is proved. With all the previous results, the global existence of solutions is proved in Section 6.
Let D()) be the space of C functions with compact support in ) and D()) the space of distributions on ). We denote by 1 , 2 the duality product between D()) and D()). We denote by C ([0,R)) the space of bounded @ continuous functions on [0,R). For 1)s)#R, the Sobolev spaces are defined by ¼Q())"+v3¸Q()): v3¸Q()),, ¼Q())"closure of D()) in ¼Q()),

Now we state the supplementary hypothesis which will ensure the existence of a global solution: u is small enough that is #u !a*u # P )c (a,l,b,c,r,)), (5) * and f is small enough in some suitable spaces. More precisely, we suppose, in a first case f3¸(0,R;¸P()))

Throughout the paper, for vector-valued functions u"(u ,u ,u ), v"(v ,v ,v ), we denote by u ) v and v ) u the vector-valued functions, respectively, defined by (u ) v) " u * v , ( v ) u) " * v u H G G G H H G H G G (note that u ) vO v ) u). Let u ) v" u v , u ) v" * u * v . G G G GH G H G H Proof (Sketch of the existence results). As it will be proved in Lemma 3, it suffices to find the (u,n,w) solution of the following system: l l * w# w#u ) w# u ) w! u R a a (10)

(12)
We will solve Eqs. (10)—(12) by linearization and use of the Schauder’s fixed-point Theorem. Given u satisfying Eq. (12), we define w by l * w# w#u ) w# u ) w R a l " u#f#(a#b)N (u)#cN (u), a w(0)"u !a * u .

We are still to prove that u may be chosen such that there exists n satisfying Eq. (11). This will be done by a fixed-point argument. More precisely,
(14a) (14b)
we will prove that the map u | z has a fixed point. For this we will prove (Proposition 5) that the system Eq. (13) has a unique solution w which satisfies #w#)G(t,#u#,c (# f ###u !a*u #))
(15)
for some convenient norms in functional spaces on );(0,¹), where G is an increasing continuous function of t such that G(0,x,y)"y. Next we will prove (Proposition 8) that the system Eq. (14) has a unique solution (z,n) such that #z#)c #w#.
(16)
Finally, we will prove that, for a convenient M"M(u , f,a,l,b,c,),r), we can choose t'0 such that #u#)M implies c G(t,#u#,c (# f ###u !a*u #)))M.

By Schauder’s fixed-point Theorem, together with some continuity properties, this will prove the existence of a fixed point which moreover satisfies u(0)"u . Therefore, we obtain the existence of a solution of Eqs. (10)—(12), that is the local existence. Using the additional hypothesis (5)—(7) (or (5), (8), (9)) on the data we will prove the existence of M for which condition Eq. (17) is satisfied for all positive t. This will prove the global existence and therefore ends the sketch of the proof. 䊐 Remark. It is important to note that n introduced in Eqs. (10)—(12) can be different from the potential P which is defined in Eq. (2). Throughout the paper, n is normalized by n"0. This ensures the uniqueness of n as soon as
n is unique. Let us now verify that any solution of Eqs. (10)—(12) provides a solution of Eq. (2).

4. Existence and uniqueness of a local solution In this section, we will prove Theorem 2.
(18)
¹hen (u,P) is solution of Eq. (2). Proof. Let (u,n,w) be a solution of Eqs. (10)—(12). Replacing w by u!a * u# n in Eq. (10) gives l * (u!a * u# n)# (u!a * u# n) R a #u ) (u!a * u# n) l # u ) (u!a * u# n)! u a "f#(a#b)N (u)#cN (u). This equation can be rewritten in the following form: * (u!a * u)!l*u#u ) (u!a * u# n) R ! ((u!a * u# n) ) u) # ((u!a * u# n) ) u) l # u ) (u!a * u# n)#* n# n R a "f#(a#b)N (u)#cN (u). Since u ) w! (w ) u)# u ) w"( ;w);u and ; n"0, we obtain * (u!a * u)!l* u#( ;(u!a*u));u R l # ((u!a * u# n) ) u)#* n# n R a "f#(a#b)N (u)#cN (u). With the definition (18) of P, this gives the first equation of Eq. (2). The other equations of Eq. (2) are given by Eq. (12). 䊐

The proof is given in several steps. In a first step we will see (Lemma 6) that for regular data (g,v ) there exists a solution v of the transport equation * v#u ) v"g, v(0)"v .

Considering the difference of two solutions of Eq. (2) denoted by (uG,PG) for i"1,2, we obtain the following inequality on º"u!u in D(0,¹*):

In this Section, we prove Theorem 2 which states the existence of a global solution of Eq. (2) for small enough data. Proof of part (i). Let w be a solution of Eqs. (10)—(12) on [0,¹*], ¹*'0 given by Theorem 1. It satisfies the inequality (26) (this inequality was proved only for regular data satisfying Eq. (25); it extends to any data by a density argument). Instead of Eq. (27), let us use the following estimate:
"g" "w"P\)#g# P #w#P\ , *P *
to bound the right-hand side of Eq. (28). Together with Eq. (26), it gives d lr #w#P P # #w#P P * * dt a )r#g# P #w#P\ #r# u# #w#P P . (39) * *P * * Moreover, Lemma 9 gives # u# )Q #u# P )Q c #w# P , * 5 * where Q is the imbedding constant of ¼P()) in ¼()). Therefore, with expression (30) of g, d lr #w#P P # #w#P P * * dt a
#c (a,b,),r) #w#P> #c (a,c,),r) #w#P> . *P *P (40) This estimate does not allow us to obtain the global existence of a solution for all a'0 (see [12]). Therefore we use the supplementary estimates on u and w. First, from the estimate (40), we deduce the following estimate on w: d 2l #w#P # #w#P * * a dt
l )2 # f # P # #u# P #w# P * * a * #c (a,b,),r) #w#P #c (a,c,),r) #w#P . * * (41) Now, mutiplying Eq. (2) by u and integrating, we obtain d l (#u# #a# u# )# # u# * * * dt 2
#c (a,c,),r)#w#P . *

Since, for all e'0 we have, using Young’s inequality and Lemma 9 #u# P )c (e,a,),r) # u# #e #w# P , * * * we obtain after some calculations and for a suitable choice of e, using Eqs. (40) and (41) the following

and therefore y(t*)(0 which is not possible. So y(t)(k for all t3[0,t*]. Now we prove the global existence of a solution of Eq. (2) by induction. Choosing f satisfying Eq.
