Abstract:
This paper is concerned with optimal lower bounds of decay rates for solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in $\Bbb R^n$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given such that the corresponding Navier-Stokes solutions are shown to satisfy the algebraic bound $$ \Vert u(t) \Vert \ge (t+1)^{-\frac {n+4}{2}}. $$
Keywords: decay rates, Navier-Stokes equations
Classification (MSC2000): 35Q10
