Optimal decay for the full compressible Navier-Stokes system in critical $L^p$ Besov spaces

Abstract

Danchin and He (Math. Ann. 64: 1-38, 2016) recently established the global existence in critical $L^p$-type regularity framework for the $N$-dimensional $(N\geq 3)$ non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The purpose of this paper is to further investigate the large time behavior of solutions constructed by them. More precisely, we prove that if the initial data at the low frequencies additionally belong to some Besov space $\dot{B}_{2,\infty}^{-\sigma_1}$ with $\sigma_1\in (2-N/2, 2N/p-N/2]$, then the $\dot{B}_{p,1}^s$ norm of the critical global solutions exhibits the optimal decay $(1+t)^{-\frac{N}{2}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p})-\frac{s+\sigma_1}{2}}$ for suitable $p$ and $s$. The main tool we use is the pure energy argument without the spectral analysis, which enables us to \emph{remove the smallness assumption} of initial data at the low-frequency.
