On the regularity of weak solutions of the Boussinesq equations in Besov spaces Dedicated to Enrique Zuazua on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday

Abstract

The main issue addressed in this paper concerns an extension of a result by Z. Zhang who proved, in the context of the homogeneous Besov space $\dot{B}_{\infty ,\infty }^{-1}(\mathbb{R}% ^{3})$, that, if the solution of the Boussinesq equation (\ref% {eq1.1}) below (starting with an initial data in $H^{2}$) is such that $% (\nabla u,\nabla \theta )\in L^{2}\left( 0,T;\dot{B}_{\infty ,\infty }^{-1}(% \mathbb{R}^{3})\right)$, then the solution remains smooth forever after $T$. In this contribution, we prove the same result for weak solutions just by assuming the condition on the velocity $u$ and not on the temperature $\theta$.
