Abstract:
We will discuss some recent progress in the mathematical analysis for the viscoelastic fluid flow. Global existences of weak solutions will be the main subject. The oscillation and concentration of approximating solutions are two main obstacles. A variant of ``effective viscous flux turns again to be a key tool to deal with the weak stability.
