Blowup criterion for Navier-Stokes equation in critical Besov space with spatial dimensions $d \geq 4$

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the blowup criterion for mild solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in higher spatial dimensions $d \geq 4$. By establishing an $\epsilon$ regularity criterion, we show that if the mild solution $u$ with initial data in $\dot B^{-1+d/p}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d) $, $d<p,\,q<\infty$ becomes singular at a finite time $T_*$, then $$ \limsup_{t\to T_*} \|u(t)\|_{\dot B^{-1+d/p}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d)} = \infty. $$ The corresponding result in 3D case has been obtained by I.Gallagher, G.S.KochandF.Planchon. As a by-product, we also prove a regularity criterion for the Leray-Hopf solution in the critical Besov space, which generalizes the results in~\cite{DoDu09}, where blowup criterion in critical Lebesgue space $L^d(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is obtained.
