Abstract

We construct self-similar solutions to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for divergence free, self-similar initial data that can be large in the critical Besov space B˙p,1+3/p\dot B^{-1+3/p}_{p,\infty} where 3<p<63< p< 6. We also construct discretely self-similar solutions for divergence free initial data in B˙p,1+3/p\dot B^{-1+3/p}_{p,\infty} for 3<p<63<p<6 that is discretely self-similar for some scaling factor λ>1\lambda>1. These results extend those of \cite{BT1} which dealt with initial data in Lw3L^3_w since Lw3B˙p,1+3/pL^3_w\subsetneq \dot B^{-1+3/p}_{p,\infty} for p>3p>3. We also provide several concrete examples of vector fields in the relevant function spaces.
