On the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set in time for weak solutions to the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equation on torus (Q2351174)

In this paper, the authors are concerned with the Hausdorff dimension of the possible time singular set of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation on the three-dimensional torus under some regularity conditions of Serrin's type. The initial value problem for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is considered. The results in the paper are of follwing type. It is proved that if a weak solution \(u\) is an element of \(L^{r}(0, T ; V_{\alpha})\) then the \(\left( 1 - \frac{r (2 \alpha - 1)}{4}\right)\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the corresponding time singular set of \(u\) is zero. Furthermore, the authors prove that if a weak solution \(u\) belongs to \(L^{r}(0, T ; W^{1,q})\) then the \(\left(1 - \frac{r (2q - 3)}{2q}\right)\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the time singular set of function \(u\) is again zero. For particular values of \(r, \alpha, q\) the authors recover results by \textit{J. Leray} [Acta Math. 63, 193--248 (1934; JFM 60.0726.05)] and by \textit{R. Temam} [Navier-Stokes equations and nonlinear functional analysis. 2nd ed. Philadelphia, PA: SIAM (1995; Zbl 0833.35110)]. The paper is self-contained and comprehensive.
