Spatial behaviour of solutions in the plane Stokes flow

Some new methods are described in the study of the spatial behaviour of solutions in the slow flow of an incompressible viscous fluid along a semi-infinite strip subject to zero velocity on the lateral sides, a prescribed time-dependent specified velocity on the end and zero initial conditions. These methods provide an improved estimated decay rate over those previously predicted on the subject.  2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved
