On the interior regularity criteria and the number of singular points to the Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract

We establish some interior regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations which allow the vertical part of the velocity to be large under the local scaling invariant norm. As an application, we improve Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin’s criterion and Escauriza-Seregin-Sverak’s criterion. We also show that if a weak solution u satisfies $$\left\| {u( \cdot ,t)} \right\|_{L^p } \leqslant C( - t)^{(3 - p)/2p} $$ for some 3 < p < ∞, then the number of singular points is finite.
