Abstract

We study Liouville type of theorems for the Navier-Stokes and the Euler equations on RN\Bbb R^N, N2N\geq 2. Specifically, we prove that if a weak solution (v,p)(v,p) satisfies v2+pL1(0,T;L1(RN,w1(x)dx))|v|^2 +|p| \in L^1 (0,T; L^1(\Bbb R^N, w_1(x)dx)) and RNp(x,t)w2(x)dx0\int_{\Bbb R^N} p(x,t)w_2 (x)dx \geq0 for some weight functions w1(x)w_1(x) and w2(x)w_2 (x), then the solution is trivial, namely v=0v=0 almost everywhere on RN×(0,T)\Bbb R^N \times (0, T). Similar results hold for the MHD Equations on RN\Bbb R^N, N3N\geq3.
