$L_1$ approach to the compressible viscous fluid flows in general domains

Abstract

We prove the $L_1$ in time and $B^{s+1}_{q,1}\times B^s_{q,1}$ in space maximal regularity for the Stokes equations in the viscous compressible fluid flows in domains in the $N$ dimensional Euclidean space $R^N$ whose boundary is $C^3$ compact hypersurface. As an application, the local well-posedness is proved for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with Dirichlet condition. Danchin and Tolksdorf have studied the same problem in a bounded domains. Since they used Da-Prato and Grisvard theory directly, they need the assumption that the domain is compact. We imvestigate a new method to obtain $L_1$ maximal regularity which is based on real interpolation theories and thanks to this method, we can remove the compactness assumptions in the study due to Danchin and Torksdorf. Our method can be applied to obtain $L_1$ in time maximal regularity theorem for the initial boundary value problem of the system of parabolic or hyperbolic-parabolic equations with non-homogeneous boundary conditions.
