A global existence result for the compressible Navier--Stokes equations in the critical \(L ^{p }\) framework (Q717172)

The paper investigates the global well-posedness problem for the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes system in the whole space \({\mathbb{R}}^d\), \(d\geq 2\). Specifically, the case of a critical framework is considered. This critical framework is not related to the energy space. Global existence is obtained for small perturbations of a stable equilibrium state in the sense of suitable \(L^p\)-type Besov norms. Thus one may exhibit a large highly oscillating initial velocity fields for which global well-posedness holds.
