Abstract

In this paper, we study the global regularity and sharp decay rates for the isentropic hypo-viscous compressible Navier-Stokes equations in 1D. Firstly, we prove the global stability for the small initial data near a stable equilibrium. Especially, we establish the global critical regularity in the Sobolev space HβH^{\beta} with 12<β<1\frac{1}{2}<\beta<1. Furthermore, by bootstrap argument, Fourier splitting method and energy method, we then establish the optimal time decay rates under the extra low-frequency smallness assumption. We find the L2L^2 energy is self-closed, which motivates us to obtain the existence of global large solutions for initial data with high regularity. By a pure energy method, we also derive the optimal time decay rates when 12β<34\frac{1}{2}\le\beta<\frac{3}{4}. We find a phenomenon that (a,u)L2\|(a,u)\|_{L^2} still decays even if the initial data does not possess L2L^2 smallness. Notably, the low-frequency smallness assumption is removed in the case with 12β<34\frac{1}{2}\le\beta<\frac{3}{4}.
