REMARKS ON REGULARITY CRITERIA FOR THE 3D NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

RUIYING WEI, YIN LI

Abstract. In this article, we study the regularity criteria for the 3D Navier- Stokes equations involving derivatives of the partial components of the velocity.

It is proved that if∇_huebelongs to Triebel-Lizorkin space,∇u3 oru3 belongs to Morrey-Campanato space, then the solution remains smooth on [0, T].

1. Introduction

This article is devoted to the Cauchy problem for the following incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes equation:

ut+ (u· ∇)u+∇p=4u, x∈R³, t >0

divu= 0, x∈R³, t >0 (1.1) with initial data

u(x,0) =u₀, x∈R³, (1.2)

where u = (u₁(x, t), u₂(x, t), u₃(x, t)) and p = p(x, t) denote the unknown veloc- ity vector and the unknown scalar pressure, respectively. In the last century, Leray [11] and Hopf [8] proved the global existence of a weak solution u(x, t) ∈ L^∞(0,∞;L²(R³))∩L²(0,∞;H¹(R³)) to (1.1)-(1.3) for any given initial datum u0(x) ∈ L²(R³). However, whether or not such a weak solution is regular and unique is still a challenging open problem. From that time on, different criteria for regularity of the weak solutions has been proposed.

The classical Prodi-Serrin conditions (see [16, 18, 19]) say that if u∈L^t(0, T;L^s(R³)), 2

t +3

s = 1, 3≤s≤ ∞,

then the solution is smooth. Similar results is showed by Beir˜ao da Veiga [1]

involving the velocity gradient growth condition:

∇u∈L^t(0, T;L^s(R³)), 2 t +3

s = 2, 3

2 < s≤ ∞.

Actually, whether the weak solution is smooth when a part of the velocity com- ponents is involved. As for this direction, later on, criteria just for one velocity

component appeared. The first result in this direction is due to Neustupa et al [15]

(see also Zhou [21]), where the authors showed that if u3∈L^t(0, T;L^s(R³)), 2

t +3 s =1

2, s∈(6,∞],

then the solution is smooth. A similar result, for the gradient of one velocity component, is independently due to Zhou [22] and Pokorn´y [17]. In [22], Zhou proved that if

∇u3∈L^t(0, T;L^s(R³)), 2 t +3

s = 3

2, 3≤s <∞.

then the solution is smooth on [0, T]. This result is extended by Zhou and Pokorn´y [26]; that is,

∇u3∈L^t(0, T;L^s(R³)), 2 t +3

s = 23

12, 2≤s≤3.

Further criteria, including several components of the velocity gradient, pressure or other quantities, can be found, here we just list some. Zhou and Pokorn´y [25]

proved the regularity condition

u3∈L^t(0, T;L^s(R³)), 2 t +3

s =3 4 + 1

2s, s >10 3 .

And in [10], Jia and Zhou proved that if a weak solution u satisfies one of the following two conditions:

u3∈L^∞(0, T;L¹⁰³(R³)); ∇u3∈L^∞(0, T;L^30/19(R³)),

then u is regular on [0, T]. Dong and Zhang [5] proved that if the horizontal derivatives of the two velocity components

Z T 0

k∇hu(s)k˜ B˙⁰_∞,∞ds <∞,

then the solution keeps smoothness up to timeT, where ˜u= (u1, u2,0), and∇hu˜= (∂1u, ∂˜ 2u,˜ 0). For other kinds of regularity criteria, see [2, 6, 7, 9, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30]

and the references cited therein.

Throughout this paperCwill denote a generic positive constant which can vary from line to line. For simplicity, we shall useR

The purpose of this article is to improve and extend above known regularity criterion of weak solution for the equations (1.1), (1.2) to the Triebel-Lizorkin space and Morrey-Campanato spaces. The main results of this paper read:

Theorem 1.1. Assume that u0 ∈ H¹(R³) with divu0 = 0. u(x,t) is the corre- sponding weak solution to (1.1)and (1.2)on[0, T). If additionally

q = 2, 3

2 < q≤ ∞, (1.3) then the solution remains smooth on[0, T].

Theorem 1.2. Assume that u0 ∈ H¹(R³) with divu0 = 0. u(x, t) is the corre- sponding weak solution to (1.1)and (1.2)on[0, T). If additionally

then the solution remains smooth on[0, T].

Theorem 1.3. Assume that u0 ∈ H¹(R³) with divu0 = 0. u(x,t) is the corre- sponding weak solution to (1.1)and (1.2)on[0, T). If additionally

M˙^p,3r

4, 2≤p≤ 3

r, (1.5)

then the solution remains smooth on[0, T].

Remark 1.4. Noticing that the classical Riesz transformation is bounded in ˙B⁰_∞,∞, if we takeq=∞in Theorem 1.1, then the classical Beal-Kato-Majda criterion for the Navier-Stokes equations is obtained; that is, if

Z T 0

k∇hu(·, t)ke B˙_∞,∞⁰ dt <∞ then the solution remains smooth on [0, T].

Remark 1.5. Since (it is proved in [12, 13])

L^q(R³) = ˙M^q,q(R³)⊂M˙^p,q(R³), 1< p≤q <∞, L^3r(R³)⊂M˙^p,3r(R³)⊂X˙r(R³)⊂M˙^2,3r(R³), 2< p≤3

r, 0< r <3 2, the result of Theorem 1.2 is an improved version of [27, Theorem 2]. Also we obtain, if

Z T 0

ku₃(·, t)k

8 3−4r

X˙_r dt <∞, with 0< r < 3 4, then the solution remains smooth on [0, T].

2. Preliminaries

In this section, we shall introduce the Littlewood-Paley decomposition theory, and then give some definitions of the homogeneous Besov space, homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin space, Morrey-Campanato space and multiplier space as well as some relate spaces used throughout this paper. Before this, let us first recall the weak solutions of (1.1)-(1.3):

Letu0∈L²(R³) with∇ ·u0= 0, a measurableR³-valued vectoruis said to be a weak solution of (1.1)-(1.3) if the following conditions hold:

(1) u(x, t)∈L^∞(0,∞;L²(R³))∩L²(0,∞;H¹(R³));

(2) usolves (1.1)-(1.2) in the sense of distributions;

(3) the energy inequality holds; i.e, kuk²₂+ 2

Z t 0

k4u(·, τ)k²₂dτ ≤ ku0k²₂, 0≤t≤T.

Let us choose a nonnegative radial function ϕ ∈ C^∞(R³) be supported in the annulus {ξ ∈ R³ : ³₄ ≤ |ξ| ≤ ⁸₃}, such that P∞

l=−∞ϕ(2^−lξ) = 1,∀ξ 6= 0. For f ∈S⁰(R³), the frequency projection operators4lis defined as

4_lf =F⁻¹(ϕ(2^−j·))∗f,

whereF⁻¹(g) is the inverse Fourier transform ofg. The formal decomposition f =

∞

X

l=−∞

4lf. (2.1)

is called the homogeneous Littlewood-Paley decomposition. Noticing 4lf =

l+1

X

j=l−1

4j(4lf)

and using the Young inequality, we have the following class Bernstein inequality:

Lemma 2.1 ([3]). Let α∈N, then for all 1 ≤p≤q≤ ∞, sup_|α|=kk∂^α4lfkq ≤ C2^{lk+3l(1p−1q)}k4_lfk_p. andC is a constant independent off, l.

For s ∈ R and (p, q) ∈ [1,∞]×[1,∞], the homogeneous Besov space ˙B_p,q^s is defined by

S˙^s_p,q={f ∈Z⁰(R³) :kfkS˙_p,q^s <∞}, where

kfkB˙_p,q^s =





 P

j∈z2^jsqk4jf(·)k^q_p1/q

, 1≤q <∞, sup_j∈z2^jsk4jf(·)kp, q=∞.

andZ⁰(R³) denote the dual space of

Z⁰(R³) ={f ∈S(R³) :D^αfˆ(0) = 0.∀a∈N³}.

On the other hand, for s∈R,(p, q)∈[1,∞)×[1,∞], and for s∈R, p =q=∞, the homogenous Triebel-Lizorkin space is defined as

F˙_p,q^s ={f ∈Z⁰(R³) :kfkF˙_p,q^s <∞}, kfkF˙_p,q^s =

(k(P

j∈z2^jsq|4_jf(·)|^q)^1/qk_p, 1≤q <∞, ksup_j∈z(2^js|4jf(·)|)kp, q=∞.

Notice that by Minkowski inequality, we have the following two imbedding relations:

B˙_p,q^s ⊂F˙_p,q^s , q≤p;

F˙_p,q^s ⊂B˙_p,q^s , p≤q.

and the following two inclusions:

H˙^s= ˙B_2,2^s = ˙F_2,2^s , L^∞⊂F˙_∞,∞⁰ = ˙B_∞,∞⁰ . We refer to [20] for more properties.

For 1< q ≤p <∞, the homogeneous Morrey-Campanato space inR³ is M˙^p,q=

f ∈L^q_loc(R³);kfkM˙^p,q = sup

x∈R³

sup

R>0

R^p3−3qkfk_q(B(x,R))<∞ , For 1≤p⁰≤q⁰<∞, we define the homogeneous space

g_k, where g_k∈L^q_comp⁰ (R³) and X

k∈N

d³⁽

1 p0−_q¹0)

k kgkkq⁰ <∞, where dk = diam(suppgk)<∞o .

For 0< α <3/2, we say that a function belongs to the multiplier spacesM( ˙H^α, L²) if it maps, by pointwise multiplication, ˙H^α toL²:

X˙_α:=M( ˙H^α, L²) :=

f ∈S⁰;kf·gkL² ≤CkgkH˙^α,∀g∈H˙^α .

Here, ˙H^α is the homogeneous Sobolev space of orderα, H˙^α=

f ∈L¹_loc;kfkL² ≡Z

R³

|ξ|^2α|ˆu(ξ)|^21/2

<∞ . whereL^p(1≤p≤ ∞) is the Lebsgue space endowed with normk · kp.

Lemma 2.2([4, 12]). Let1≤p⁰≤q⁰<∞, andp, qsuch that ¹_p+_p¹0 = 1,¹_q+_q¹0 = 1.

ThenM˙^p,q is the dual space ofN˙^p0,q0.

Lemma 2.3 ([4, 7, 12]). Let 1 < p⁰ ≤ q⁰ < 2, m≥ 2, and ¹_p +_p¹0 = 1. Denote α=−ⁿ₂ +ⁿ_p +_mⁿ ∈ (0,1] Then there exists a constant C > 0, such that for any u∈L^m(Rⁿ), v∈H˙^α(Rⁿ),

ku·vkN˙^p0,q0 ≤CkukL^mkvkH˙^α.

Lemma 2.4 ([13]). For 0 ≤r ≤ ³₂, let the space M( ˙B₂^r,1 → L²) be the space of functions which are locally square integrable onR³ and such that pointwise multi- plication with these functions maps boundedly the Besov spaceB˙₂^r,1(R³)toL²(R³).

The norm inM( ˙B^r,1₂ →L²)is given by the operator norm of pointwise multiplica- tion:

kfk_{M( ˙B}r,1

2 →L²)= sup{kf gk2:kgkB˙^r,1₂ ≤1}.

Then,f belongs toM( ˙B₂^r,1→L²)if and only iff belongs toM˙^2,3r (with equivalence of norms).

Absorbing the last term into the left hand side, applying the Gronwall inequality and combining with the standard continuation argument, we conclude that the solu- tionsucan be extended beyondt=Tprovided that∇u3∈L^3(2−r)8 (0, T; ˙M^p,3r(R³)).

This completes the proof of Theorem 1.2.
