The global well-posedness of the compressible fluid model of Korteweg type for the critical case. (Q2034055)

In this paper the authors are concerned with the investigation of a compressible fluid flow. The model under consideration is one of the Korteweg type in the \(N\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\) with \(3\le N\le 7\). It is handled for the case where the derivative of pressure equals \(0\) at a given constant state. The authors are able to prove that the system admits a unique, global strong solution for small initial data in the maximal \(L_{p}-L_{q}\)-regularity class. In order to obtain the global well-posedness for the critical case, they show the \(L_{p}-L_{q}\) decay properties of solutions to the linearized equations under an additional assumption for low frequencies. The article is sufficiently comprehensive and it contains 20 pages including a lot of proofs and explanations. The bibliography contains 24 well-choosen items.
