Upper and lower bounds of temporal and spatial decays for the Navier-Stokes equations. (English) Zbl 1062.35058
The authors study the asymptotic behavior in the weighted $$L^2$$ of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space $$\mathbb R^3$$. Focussing on the decay problem for the weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations (first proposed by Leray for the Cauchy problem in $$\mathbb R^3$$) the authors obtain lower and upper bounds of the temporal-spatial decays by including appropriate weights and following the work of Shonbek and Miyakawa. The temporal-spatial decays for the Stokes flows with coresponding lower and upper bounds are also considered.
