Abstract

In this paper, let S\mathcal{S} denote the possible interior singular set of suitable weak solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. We improve the known upper box-counting dimension of this set from 360/277(1.300)360/277(\approx1.300) in [24] to 975/758(1.286)975/758(\approx1.286). It is also shown that Λ(S,r(log(e/r))σ)=0(0σ<27/113)\Lambda(\mathcal{S},r(\log(e/r))^{\sigma})=0(0\leq\sigma<27/113), which extends the previous corresponding results concerning the improvement of the classical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem by a logarithmic factor in Choe and Lewis [3, J. Funct. Anal., 175: 348-369, 2000] and in Choe and Yang et al. [4, Comm. Math. Phys, 336: 171-198, 2015]. The proof is inspired by a new ε\varepsilon-regularity criterion proved by Guevara and Phuc in [7, Calc. Var. 56:68, 2017].
