## Navier and Stokes meet the wavelet.(English)Zbl 0795.35080

The author considers the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations, i.e. $v_ t- \Delta v+ (v\cdot\nabla)v+ \nabla p=0,\;\text{div } v=0 \text{ in } \mathbb{R}^ 3\times (0,T), \qquad v(0)= v_ 0 \text{ in } \mathbb{R}^ 3.$ He constructs local strong solutions by making an ansatz of the form $v(x,t)= v(x,0)+ \sum_ \alpha c_ \alpha(t) u_ \alpha(x)$ where $$(u_ \alpha)$$ denotes a suitable wavelet basis. This gives an infinite set of integral equations for the coefficients $$c_ \alpha(t)$$ which is solved using Banach’s fixed point theorem. The underlying Banach space is defined with the help of local $$L^ 2$$-norms.
