“…The analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations with hereditary terms was initiated by Caraballo and Real in [14], and developed in [11,12,13,7,15,8,9,10,5,6], where several issues have been investigated: the existence and uniqueness of solution, stationary solution, the existence of attractors (global, pullback and random ones) and the local exponential stability of state-steady solution of Navier-Stokes models with several types of delay (constant, bounded variable delay as well as bounded distributed delay). In the papers [22,33,29,34,30,31,35,19,32,20,18,21] the authors have discussed the asymptotic behavior and regularity of solutions of 2D Navier-Stokes equations (and 3D-variations of Navier-Stokes models) with delay (finite and infinite). Wei and Zhang [39] have obtained the exponential stability and almost sure exponential stability of the weak solution for stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equations with bounded variable delays by using the approach proposed in [14,6].…”
