Well-chosen weak solutions of the instationary Navier-Stokes system and their uniqueness. (English) Zbl 1397.35170
Authors’ abstract: We clarify the notion of well-chosen weak solutions of the instationary Navier-Stokes system recently introduced by the authors and P.-Y. Hsu in the article Initial values for the Navier-Stokes equations in spaces with weights in time, [Funkc. Ekvacioj, Ser. Int. 59, No. 2, 199–216 (2016; Zbl 1364.35236)]. Well-chosen weak solutions have initial values in $$L^{2}_{\sigma}(\Omega)$$ contained also in a quasi-optimal scaling-invariant space of Besov type such that nevertheless Serrin’s Uniqueness Theorem cannot be applied. However, we find universal conditions such that a weak solution given by a concrete approximation method coincides with the strong solution in a weighted function class of Serrin type.
