Abstract: The global existence issue for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the critical regularity framework has been addressed in [7] more than fifteen years ago. However, whether (optimal) time-decay rates could be shown in general critical spaces and any dimension d ge 2 has remained an open question. Here we give a positive answer to that issue not only in the L 2 critical framework of [7] but also in the more general L p critical framework of [3, 6, 14]. More precisely, we show that under a mild additional decay assumption that is satisfied if the low frequencies of the initial data are in e.g. L p/2 (R d), the L p norm (the slightly stronger dotBp,10 norm in fact) of the critical global solutions decays like t --d(1 p -- 1 4) for t ightarrow +infty, exactly as firstly observed by A. Matsumura and T. Nishida in [23] in the case p = 2 and d = 3, for solutions with high Sobolev regularity. Our method relies on refined time weighted inequalities in the Fourier space, and is likely to be effective for other hyperbolic/parabolic systems that are encountered in fluid mechanics or mathematical physics.


This work is devoted to the derivation of the (optimal) time decay rates of solutions for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the norms of critical spaces. The existence of global in time solutions has been discussed previously in \(L^2\) [\textit{R. Danchin}, Invent. Math. 141, No. 3, 579--614 (2000; Zbl 0958.35100)] and \(L^p\) frameworks [\textit{F. Charve} and \textit{R. Danchin}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 198, No. 1, 233--271 (2010; Zbl 1229.35167)], [\textit{Q. Chen} et al., Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 63, No. 9, 1173--1224 (2010; Zbl 1202.35002)], [\textit{B. Haspot}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 202, No. 2, 427--460 (2011; Zbl 1427.76230)]. The method of proof relies on refined time weighted inequalities in the Fourier space.
