Smoothing Effects for Navier-Stokes Equations

Abstract

We prove some smoothing effects for the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations for initial data belonging to the critical Sobolev space $H^{1/2}(\R^3)$. Asymptotic behavior of the global solution when the time goes to infinity is studied. We also obtain a new energy estimate. Other results in this direction and with different methods can be found in \cite{C4}.
