Abstract

This paper deals with the uniqueness of mild solutions to the forced or unforced Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space. It is known that the uniqueness of mild solutions to the unforced Navier-Stokes equations holds in L(0,T;Ld(Rd))L^{\infty}(0,T;L^d(\mathbb{R}^d)) when d4d\geq 4, and in C([0,T];Ld(Rd))C([0,T];L^d(\mathbb{R}^d)) when d3d\geq3. As for the forced Navier-Stokes equations, when d3d\geq3 the uniqueness of mild solutions in C([0,T];Ld,(Rd))C([0,T];L^{d,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d)) with force ff and initial data u0u_{0} in some proper Lorentz spaces is known. In this paper we show that for d3d\geq3, the uniqueness of mild solutions to the forced Navier-Stokes equations in C((0,T];L~d,(Rd))Lβ(0,T;L~d,(Rd)) C((0,T];\widetilde{L}^{d,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d))\cap L^\beta(0,T;\widetilde{L}^{d,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d)) for β>2d/(d2)\beta>2d/(d-2) holds when there is a mild solution in C([0,T];L~d,(Rd))C([0,T];\widetilde{L}^{d,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d)) with the same initial data and force. Here L~d,\widetilde{L}^{d,\infty} is the closure of LLd,{L^{\infty}\cap L^{d,\infty}} with respect to Ld,L^{d,\infty} norm.
