This paper proves a Serrin’s type blow-up criterion for the 3D density-dependent Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations with vacuum. It is shown that if the density $\rho$ and velocity field $u$ satisfy ${\parallel \nabla \rho \parallel }_{L^{\infty }(0,T;W^{1,q})}+{\parallel u\parallel }_{L^s(0,T;L_{\omega }^r)}<\infty$ for some $q>3$ and any $(r,s)$ satisfying $2/s+3/r\le 1$, $3<r\le \infty ,$ then the strong solutions to the density-dependent Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations can exist globally over $[0,T]$. Here $L_{\omega }^r$ denotes the weak $L^r$ space.

We consider the Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system $$\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{n}_t+𝐮·\nabla n=\Delta n-\nabla ·\left(n\nabla v\right),\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \\ v_t+𝐮·\nabla v=\Delta v-v+w,\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \\ w_t+𝐮·\nabla w=\Delta w-w+n,\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \\ {𝐮}_t+(𝐮·\nabla )𝐮=\Delta 𝐮+\nabla P+n\nabla \phi ,\nabla ·𝐮=0,\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ which is considered in bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ $(N\in \{2,3\left\}\right)$ with smooth boundary, where $\phi \in C^{1+\delta }\left(\overline{\Omega }\right)$ with $\delta \in (0,1)$. We show that if the initial data $\parallel n_0{\parallel }_{L^{N/2}\left(\Omega \right)}$, $\parallel \nabla v_0{\parallel }_{L^N\left(\Omega \right)}$, $\parallel \nabla w_0{\parallel }_{L^N\left(\Omega \right)}$ and $\parallel {𝐮}_0{\parallel }_{L^N\left(\Omega \right)}$ is small enough, an associated initial-boundary value problem possesses a global classical solution which decays to the constant state $({\overline{n}}_0,{\overline{n}}_0,{\overline{n}}_0,0)$ exponentially with ${\overline{n}}_0:=(1/|\Omega \left|\right){\int }_{\Omega }{n}_0\left(x\right)\mathrm{d}x$.

We consider sequences of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in ${ℝ}^3$, associated with sequences of initial data bounded in ${\dot{H}}^{1/2}$. We prove, in the spirit of the work of H.Bahouri and P.Gérard (in the case of the wave equation), that they can be decomposed into a sum of orthogonal profiles, bounded in ${\dot{H}}^{1/2}$, up to a remainder term small in $L^3$; the method is based on the proof of a similar result for the heat equation, followed by a perturbation–type argument. If $𝒜$ is an “admissible” space (in...

We study higher local integrability of a weak solution to the steady Stokes problem. We consider the case of a pressure- and shear-rate-dependent viscosity, i.e., the elliptic part of the Stokes problem is assumed to be nonlinear and it depends on $p$ and on the symmetric part of a gradient of $u$, namely, it is represented by a stress tensor $T(Du,p):=\nu (p,|D{|}^2)D$ which satisfies $r$-growth condition with $r\in (1,2]$. In order to get the main result, we use Calderón-Zygmund theory and the method which was presented for...

We prove the existence of solutions to the evolutionary Stokes system in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ³. The main result shows that the velocity belongs either to $W_p^{2s+2,s+1}\left({\Omega }^T\right)$ or to $B_{p,q}^{2s+2,s+1}\left({\Omega }^T\right)$ with p > 3 and s ∈ ℝ₊ ∪ 0. The proof is divided into two steps. First the existence in $W_p^{2k+2,k+1}$ for k ∈ ℕ is proved. Next applying interpolation theory the existence in Besov spaces in a half space is shown. Finally the technique of regularizers implies the existence in a bounded domain. The result is generalized to the spaces...

We deal with the steady Stokes problem, associated with a flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a spatially periodic profile cascade. Using the reduction to domain $\Omega$, which represents one spatial period, the problem is formulated by means of boundary conditions of three types: the conditions of periodicity on curves ${\Gamma }_{-}$ and ${\Gamma }_{+}$ (lower and upper parts of $\partial \Omega$), the Dirichlet boundary conditions on ${\Gamma }_{\mathrm{in}}$ (the inflow) and ${\Gamma }_0$ (boundary of the profile) and an artificial “do nothing”-type boundary...

In this note we shall prove that for a continuous function $\varphi :\Delta \to {ℝ}^n$, where $\Delta \subset ℝ$,  the paratingent of $\varphi$ at $a\in \Delta$ is a non-empty and compact set in ${ℝ}^n$ if and only if $\varphi$ satisfies Lipschitz condition in a neighbourhood of $a$. Moreover, in this case the paratingent is a connected set.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

Let $L_c\left(X\right)=\{f\in C\left(X\right):\overline{C_f}=X\}$, where $C_f$ is the union of all open subsets $U\subseteq X$ such that $\left|f\left(U\right)\right|\le {\aleph }_0$. In this paper, we present a pointfree topology version of $L_c\left(X\right)$, named ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)$. We observe that ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)$ enjoys most of the important properties shared by $ℛ\left(L\right)$ and ${ℛ}_c\left(L\right)$, where ${ℛ}_c\left(L\right)$ is the pointfree version of all continuous functions of $C\left(X\right)$ with countable image. The interrelation between $ℛ\left(L\right)$, ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)$, and ${ℛ}_c\left(L\right)$ is examined. We show that $L_c\left(X\right)\cong {ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(𝔒\left(X\right)\right)$ for any space $X$. Frames $L$ for which ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)=ℛ\left(L\right)$ are characterized.

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

We prove that if $X$ is a first countable space with property $\left(DC\left({\omega }_1\right)\right)$ and with a $G_{\delta }$-diagonal then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $𝔠$. We also show that if $X$ is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of $X$ is at most $𝔠$.
