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...

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.

In this paper we deal with the stationary Navier-Stokes problem in a domain $\Omega$ with compact Lipschitz boundary $\partial \Omega$ and datum $a$ in Lebesgue spaces. We prove existence of a solution for arbitrary values of the fluxes through the connected components of $\partial \Omega$, with possible countable exceptional set, provided $a$ is the sum of the gradient of a harmonic function and a sufficiently small field, with zero total flux for $\Omega$ bounded.

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...

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...

The aim of this paper is to establish an existence and uniqueness result for a class of the set functional differential equations of neutral type$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{H}X\left(t\right)=F(t,X_t,D_H{X}_t),\hfill \\ {X|}_{[-r,0]}=\Psi ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $F:[0,b]\times {𝒞}_0\times {𝔏}_0^1\to K_c\left(E\right)$ is a given function, $K_c\left(E\right)$ is the family of all nonempty compact and convex subsets of a separable Banach space $E$, ${𝒞}_0$ denotes the space of all continuous set-valued functions $X$ from $[-r,0]$ into $K_c\left(E\right)$, ${𝔏}_0^1$ is the space of all integrally bounded set-valued functions $X:[-r,0]\to K_c\left(E\right)$, $\Psi \in {𝒞}_0$ and $D_H$ is the Hukuhara derivative. The continuous dependence of solutions on initial...

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 ${\Phi }_1,...,{\Phi }_{k+1}$ (with $k\ge 1$) be vector fields of class $C^k$ in an open set $U{\subset }^{N+m}$, let $𝕄$ be a $N$-dimensional $C^k$ submanifold of $U$ and define $$𝕋:=\{z\in 𝕄:{\Phi }_1\left(z\right),...,{\Phi }_{k+1}\left(z\right)\in T_z𝕄\}$$ where $T_z𝕄$ is the tangent space to $𝕄$ at $z$. Then we expect the following property, which is obvious in the special case when $z_0$ is an interior point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$: If $z_0\in 𝕄$ is a $(N+k)$-density point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$ then all the iterated Lie brackets of order less or equal to $k$ $${\Phi }_{i_1}\left(z_0\right),[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}]\left(z_0\right),[[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}],{\Phi }_{i_3}]\left(z_0\right),...(h,i_h\le k+1)$$ belong to $T_{z_0}𝕄$. Such a property has been proved in [9] for $k=1$ and its proof in the...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

We give new results on square functions $${\parallel x\parallel }_F=\parallel {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|F\left(tA\right)x\right|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t}\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ associated to a sectorial operator $A$ on $L^p$ for $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Under the assumption that $A$ is actually $R$-sectorial, we prove equivalences of the form $K^{-1}{\parallel x\parallel }_G\le {\parallel x\parallel }_F\le K{\parallel x\parallel }_G$ for suitable functions $F,G$. We also show that $A$ has a bounded $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus with respect to ${\parallel .\parallel }_F$. Then we apply our results to the study of conditions under which we have an estimate $\parallel {({\int }_0^{\infty }|C{\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}{\left(x\right)|}^2\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/2}\parallel }_q\le M{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, when $-A$ generates a bounded semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}$ on $L^p$ and $C:D\left(A\right)\to L^q$ is a linear mapping.
