This paper has been devoted to the solvability of the initial boundary value problem in bounded domains in two or three dimensions to the evolution equations of viscous multipolar compressible heat conductive fluid. Physical background to this problem is discussed in ref. 6. They were able to prove solvability for the polarity k {>=} 4. They will generalize these results to the case k {>=} 3. They will use the same method. The crucial point is a more detailed study of the characteristics to the continuity equation, which makes it possible to improve estimates of the density and consequently to prove existence of strong solutions. Further they deal with the uniqueness of these solutions. In the last section they derive some important estimates, energy and entropy estimates included, which has to be fulfilled by any solution.
