# Exponential stability of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid with delay

This research was partially supported by the projects MTM2015-63723-P (MINECO/FEDER, EU) and P12-FQM-1492 (Junta de Andalucía), and by NSF of China (Nos. 11671142 and 11771075), Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (No. 13dz2260400) and Shanghai Leading Academic Discipline Project (No. B407), respectively.
• The existence and uniqueness of stationary solutions to an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid are first established. The exponential stability of steady-state solutions is then analyzed by means of four different approaches. The first is the classical Lyapunov function method, while the second one is based on a Razumikhin type argument. Then, a method relying on the construction of Lyapunov functionals and another one using a Gronwall-like lemma are also exploited to study the stability, respectively. Some comments concerning several open research directions about this model are also included.
