The two‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations in toroidal Besov spaces

Abstract

AbstractWe consider the stationary Navier–Stokes equations in the two‐dimensional torus . For any , we show the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of solutions in homogeneous toroidal Besov spaces for given small external forces in when . These spaces become closer to the scaling invariant ones if the difference ε becomes smaller. This well‐posedness is proved by using the embedding property and the para‐product estimate in homogeneous Besov spaces. In addition, for the case , we can show the ill‐posedness, even in the scaling invariant spaces. Actually in such cases of p and q, we can prove that ill‐posedness by showing the discontinuity of a certain solution map from to .
