It was conjectured in [1] that there is at most one bounded channel flow for a viscoelastic fluid whose stress relaxation function is positive, integrable, and strictly convex. In this paper we prove the uniqueness of bounded channel flows, assuming to be non-negative, integrable, and convex, but different from a very specific piecewise linear function. Furthermore, whenever these hypotheses apply, the unbounded channel flows, if any, must grow in time faster than any polynomial. ...
