Stability of time-dependent Navier-Stokes flow and algebraic energy decay (Q2833072)

The purpose of this paper is to study a time-dependent Navier-Stokes equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{cases} \partial_t v+(v\cdot \nabla)v=\Delta v- \nabla \pi+g, \\ \operatorname{div} v=0 \end{cases}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \((n=3,4)\). The main theorem states that for a certain asymptotic estimate for \(x\), the energy decay satisfies certain bounds. Then solutions of a backward perturbed Stokes equation and a dual form are found.NEWLINENEWLINEThe proofs consist of several steps and use Banach space, Lions unique existence theorem, semigroup, generalized Hölder, Sobolev, Young inequalities, Galerkin approximation, Miyakawa estimate, Bochner integral, Fourier splitting method, integration by parts.
