Continuous dependence conjecture for weak solutions of Problem P

Let T>0T>0) and R>0R>0. Let X01=(U01,U11)\mathcal{X}_{01}=(U_{01},U_{11}) and X02=(U02,U12)\mathcal{X}_{02}=(U_{02},U_{12}) belong to H0\mathcal{H}_0, with X01\mathcal{X}_{01} and X02\mathcal{X}_{02} having norm at most RR. Let X1(t)\mathcal{X}^1(t) and X2(t)\mathcal{X}^2(t) be weak solutions to Problem P on [0,T][0,T] corresponding to these initial data. Continuous dependence conjecture. For every t in [0,T]t\text{ in }[0,T], these solutions satisfy

X1(t)X2(t)H0eQ(R)tX01X02H0.\left\|\mathcal{X}^1(t)-\mathcal{X}^2(t)\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_0}\leq e^{Q(R)t}\left\|\mathcal{X}_{01}-\mathcal{X}_{02}\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_0}.

Such an estimate would imply continuous dependence of the weak solutions on their initial data and, consequently, uniqueness. The paper identifies proving this estimate as necessary for establishing these properties; its resolution is not supplied here.
