Well-posedness and regularity of generalized Navier-Stokes equations in some critical \(Q\)-spaces (Q709219)

This paper is concerned with the well-posedness and regularity of the Cauchy problem for some generalized Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space \(\mathbb R_+^{1+n}=(0,\infty)\times \mathbb R^n\), \(n\geq 2\), as follows \[ u_t + (-\Delta)^\beta u+ (u\cdot \nabla)u-\nabla p = 0, \quad \nabla \cdot u=0 \;\text{ in } \mathbb R_+^{1+n}; \quad u(x,0)=a(x) \;\text{ for }x\in\mathbb R^n, \] with \(\beta \in (1/2, 1)\). Here \((-\Delta)^{\beta}\) denotes the fractional Laplacian with respect to \(x\). These equations generalize the classical Navier-Stokes equations as well as the two-dimensional quasi-geostrophic equations.
