Illposedness of incompressible fluids in supercritical Sobolev spaces

Analysis of PDEs 2024-05-28 v2

Abstract

We prove that the 3D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are strongly illposed in supercritical Sobolev spaces. In the inviscid case, for any 0<s<520 < s < \frac{5}{2} , we construct a CcC^\infty_c initial velocity field with arbitrarily small HsH^{s} norm for which the unique local-in-time smooth solution of the 3D Euler equation develops large H˙s\dot{H}^{s} norm inflation almost instantaneously. In the viscous case, the same H˙s\dot{H}^{s} norm inflation occurs in the 3D Navier-Stokes equation for 0<s<120< s < \frac{1}{2} , where s=12s = \frac{1}{2} is scaling critical for this equation.
