Gevrey class regularity for the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations (Q915005)

Let u(t,x), for \(0\leq t\leq t_ 0\), \(x\in [0,L]^ d\) \((d=2\) or 3), be a regular solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions and potential forces and let A be the corresponding Stokes operator. Then for \(t>0\) as function of x, u(t,x) belongs to an analytic Gevrey class. In particular, for \(t>0\) but small enough, u(t,\(\cdot)\) is in the domain of the operator \(\exp (tA^{1/2})\).
