An application of weighted Hardy spaces to the Navier–Stokes equations

Abstract

In this article, we consider the mapping properties of convolution operators with smooth functions on weighted Hardy spaces Hp(w) with w belonging to Muckenhoupt class A∞. As a corollary, one obtains decay estimates of heat semigroup on weighted Hardy spaces. After a weighted version of the div–curl lemma is established, these estimates on weighted Hardy spaces are applied to the investigation of the decay property of global mild solutions to Navier–Stokes equations with the initial data belonging to weighted Hardy spaces.
