Profile decomposition for solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
We consider sequences of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in , associated with sequences of initial data bounded in . 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 , up to a remainder term small in ; the method is based on the proof of a similar result for the heat equation, followed by a perturbation–type argument. If is an “admissible” space (in particular ...
