Abstract

In this paper we study the Liouville-type properties for solutions to the steady incompressible Euler equations with forces in RN\Bbb R^N. If we assume "single signedness condition" on the force, then we can show that a C1(RN)C^1 (\Bbb R^N) solution (v,p)(v,p) with v2+pLq2(RN)|v|^2+ |p|\in L^{\frac{q}{2}}(\Bbb R^N), q(3NN1,)q\in (\frac{3N}{N-1}, \infty) is trivial, v=0v=0. For the solution of of the steady Navier-Stokes equations, satisfying v(x)0v(x)\to 0 as x|x|\to \infty, the condition R3Δv65dx<\int_{\Bbb R^3} |\Delta v|^{\frac65} dx<\infty, which is stronger than the important D-condition, R3v2dx<\int_{\Bbb R^3} |\nabla v|^2 dx <\infty, but both having the same scaling property, implies that v=0v=0. In the appendix we reprove the Theorem 1.1(\cite{cha0}), using the self-similar Euler equations directly.
