Abstract

This paper deals with the initial-boundary value problem for the system of motion equations of an incompressible viscoelastic medium with Jeffreys constitutive law in an arbitrary domain of two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The existence of weak solutions of this problem is obtained.
