Criteria for the regularity of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations based on the velocity gradient (Q2347854)

The paper is concerning the conditions for the existence of regular solutions to Navier-Stokes equations in \(\mathbb R^3\). The integrability conditions of the weak solutions in Lebesgue spaces are replaced with integrability conditions in Besov spaces. On this way, some extensions and improvements of previous results in this field are obtained. The main tools are: Prodi-Serrin conditions, Troisi inequality, interpolation inequalities, anisotropic Sobolev spaces. A regular solution is obtained by imposing new integrability conditions on \(\partial_j u_i\), \(i=j\) (Section 4), \(\partial_j u_i\), \(i \neq j\) (Section 5) and \(\partial_3 u\) (Section 6). A comparison with previous results and a large reference list are given.
