The authors consider in this paper the inverse problem of finding a pair of functions (u, p) such that

where F, f, E, s, αi, βi, γi, gi, i = 1, 2, are given functions.

The existence and uniqueness of a smooth global solution pair (u, p) which depends continuously upon the data are demonstrated under certain assumptions on the data.
