Abstract: We study the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation �egin{align} u_t -Delta u+ucdot

abla u +

abla p=0, { m div} u=0, u(0,x)= delta u_0. label{NS} end{align} For arbitrarily small delta>0, we show that the solution map deltau0ou in critical Besov spaces dotBinfty,q−1 (forallqin[1,2]) is discontinuous at origin. It is known that the Navier-Stokes equation is globally well-posed for small data in BMO−1. Taking notice of the embedding dotBinfty,q−1subsetBMO−1 (qle2), we see that for sufficiently small delta>0, u0indotBinfty,q−1 (qle2) can guarantee that the Navier-Stokes equation has a unique global solution in BMO−1, however, this solution is instable in dotBinfty,q−1 and the solution can have an inflation in dotBinfty,q−1 for certain initial data. So, our result indicates that two different topological structures in the same space may determine the well and ill posedness, respectively.


This article represents an important contribution to the theory of Navier-Stokes equations. From the author's abstract: ``We study the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in two and higher spatial dimension: \[ u_t - \Delta u + u\cdot \nabla u + \nabla p =0, \mathrm{div} \, u = 0; \;u(0,x)=\delta u_0(x). \] For arbitrarily small \(\delta >0\) we show that the solution map \(\delta u_0 \rightarrow u\) in critical Besov spaces \({\dot{B}}^{-1}_{\infty , q}\) (\(\forall q\in [1,2]\)) is discontinuous at the origin. It is known that the Navier-Stokes equation is globally well-posed for small data in \(BMO^{-1}\). Taking notice of the embedding \({\dot{B}}^{-1}_{\infty , q} \subset BMO^{-1}\) (\(q\leq 2\)), we see that for sufficiently small \(\delta >0\), \(u_0\in {\dot{B}}^{-1}_{\infty , q}\) (\(q\leq 2\)) can guaranty that the above problem has a unique global solution in \(BMO^{-1}\), however, this solution is unstable in \({\dot{B}}^{-1}_{\infty , q}\) and can have an inflation in \({\dot{B}}^{-1}_{\infty , q}\) for certain initial data.
