Abstract

We mainly research the Liouville type problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations (including the fractional case) in R3\mathbb{R}^3. We first establish a new formula for the Dirichlet integral of solutions and show that the globally defined quantity R3u2dx\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|\nabla u|^2dx is completely determined by the information of the solution uu at the origin in frequency space. From this character, we show some new Liouville type theorems for solutions of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. Then we extend the obtained results for classical stationary Navier-Stokes equations to the stationary fractional Navier-Stokes equations for 12s<1\frac{1}{2}\leq s<1, especially, we solve the Liouville type problem for s=56s=\frac{5}{6}.
