Abstract: We consider the isentropic Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations with a non-decreasing pressure on the whole space $mathbb{R}^n$ $(nge2)$, where the system describes the motion of compressible fluids such as liquid-vapor mixtures with phase transitions including a variable internal capillarity effect. We prove the existence of a unique global strong solution to the system in the $mathrm{L}^p$-in-time and $mathrm{L}^q$-in-space framework, especially in the maximal regularity class, by assuming $(p,q)in(1,2)imes(1,infty)$ or $(p,q)in2imes(1,2]$. We show that the system is globally well-posed for small initial data belonging to $mathrm{H}^{s+1,q}(mathbb{R}^n)imesmathrm{H}^{s,q}(mathbb{R}^n{)}^n$ provided $s>n/q$ if $qlen$ and $sge1$ if $q>n$. Our results allow the case when the derivative of the pressure is zero at a given constant state, that is, the critical states that the fluid changes a phase from vapor to liquid or from liquid to vapor. The arguments in this paper do not require any exact expression or a priori assumption on the pressure.
