On the local smoothness of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

Publication date 10 September 2007

Abstract: We consider the Cauchy problem for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

u_{t} + u a b l a_{x} u - D e l t a u + a b l a p = 0, d i v u = 0 i n R^{d} i m e s R^{+}

with initial data

a i n L^{d} (R^{d})

, and study in some detail the smoothing effect of the equation. We prove that for

T < i n f t y

and for any positive integers

n

and

m

we have

t^{m + n / 2} D_{t}^{m} D_{x}^{n} u i n L^{d + 2} (R^{d} i m e s (0, T))

, as long as the

| u |_{L_{x, t}^{d + 2} (R^{d} i m e s (0, T))}

stays finite.
