On regularity criterion for the dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations (Q2467770)

We consider the 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations and study the regularity criterion of the solutions. By means of a commutator estimate based on frequency localization and Bony's paraproduct decomposition, we obtain a regularity criterion \[ \nabla^\perp\theta\in L^r(0,T;\dot B_{p,\infty}^0) \quad\text{for}\quad \tfrac 2p+ \tfrac\alpha r\leq\alpha,\;\tfrac 2\alpha\leq p\leq\infty, \] which is an obvious extension of the result in [\textit{B.-Q. Dong} and \textit{Z.-M. Chen}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 329, 1212--1217 (2007)] where their restrictive condition on \(p\) is \(\frac 4\alpha\leq p\leq\infty\).
