\(\varepsilon\)-regularity criteria in anisotropic Lebesgue spaces and Leray's self-similar solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations (Q2023299)

This paper studies a particular aspect of regularity for the solutions of Navier-Stokes equation in whole \(R^3\), with initial conditions. If the modulus of a suitable weak solution is bounded at some neighborhood of a point \((x,t)\), then this point is ``regular''. If not, the point is ``singular''. Some known results in this topic shows us that: there exists \(\epsilon>0\) such that if a specific norm of the weak solution (in a given functional space) is bounded by \(\epsilon\), then the origin is a regular point. The new element of this paper is to use the solution norm in anisotropic Lebesgue spaces. The authors are improving and generalize some important previous results concerning the Leray-Hopf solutions. New results are obtained, concerning the Leray's backward self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with profile in anisotropic Lebesgue spaces. To this end, some elements given in [\textit{D. Chae} and \textit{J. Wolf}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 225, No. 1, 549--572 (2017; Zbl 1367.35104)] are used. The main mathematical tools are the interpolation inequality, the Sobolev embedding theorem in anisotropic Lebesgue spaces in \(R^3\), Wolf's local pressure projection, the concept of local suitable weak solutions, classical Calderon-Zygmund Theorem, a Caccioppoli-type inequality. A very interesting application of iteration lemma Lemma V.3.1 given in [\textit{M. Giaquinta}, Multiple integrals in the calculus of variations and nonlinear elliptic systems. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press (1983; Zbl 0516.49003)] is also used in the last part. A large list of recent and classical results in the topic is given.
