Hölder continuity of solutions of supercritical dissipative hydrodynamic transport equations
Abstrak
Abstract We examine the regularity of weak solutions of quasi-geostrophic (QG) type equations with supercritical ( α 1 / 2 ) dissipation ( − Δ ) α . This study is motivated by a recent work of Caffarelli and Vasseur, in which they study the global regularity issue for the critical ( α = 1 / 2 ) QG equation [L. Caffarelli, A. Vasseur, Drift diffusion equations with fractional diffusion and the quasi-geostrophic equation, arXiv: math.AP/0608447, 2006]. Their approach successively increases the regularity levels of Leray–Hopf weak solutions: from L 2 to L ∞ , from L ∞ to Holder ( C δ , δ > 0 ), and from Holder to classical solutions. In the supercritical case, Leray–Hopf weak solutions can still be shown to be L ∞ , but it does not appear that their approach can be easily extended to establish the Holder continuity of L ∞ solutions. In order for their approach to work, we require the velocity to be in the Holder space C 1 − 2 α . Higher regularity starting from C δ with δ > 1 − 2 α can be established through Besov space techniques and will be presented elsewhere [P. Constantin, J. Wu, Regularity of Holder continuous solutions of the supercritical quasi-geostrophic equation, Ann. Inst. H. Poincare Anal. Non Lineaire, in press].
