Abstract: We consider the 3-D Navier-Stokes initial value problem, v_t -

u Delta v = -mathcal{P} [ v cdot

abla v ] + f , v(x, 0) = v_0 (x), x in mathbb{T}^3 (*) where mathcalP is the Hodge projection. We assume that the Fourier transform norms |hatf|l1(mathbbZ3) and |hatv0|l1(mathbbZ3) are finite. Using an inverse Laplace transform approach, we prove that an integral equation equivalent to (*) has a unique solution hatU(k,q), exponentially bounded for q in a sector centered on RR+, where q is the inverse Laplace dual to 1/tn for nge1. This implies in particular local existence of a classical solution to (*) for tin(0,T), where T depends on |hatv0|l1 and |hatf|l1. Global existence of the solution to NS follows if |hatU(cdot,q)|l1 has subexponential bounds as qoinfty. If f=0, then the converse is also true: if NS has global solution, then there exists nge1 for which |hatU(cdot,q)| necessarily decays. We show the exponential growth rate bound of U, alpha, can be better estimated based on the values of hatU on a finite interval [0,q0]. We also show how the integral equation can be solved numerically with controlled errors. Preliminary numerical calculations suggest that this approach gives an existence time that substantially exceeds classical estimate.
