Abstract
Consider weak solutions u of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations in the critical space
Firstly, we show that although the initial perturbations \(w_0\) from u are large, every perturbed weak solution v satisfying the strong energy inequality converges asymptotically to u as \(t\rightarrow \infty \). Secondly, by virtue of the characterization of \(w_0\), we examine the optimal upper and lower bounds of the algebraic convergence rates for \(\Vert v(t)-u(t)\Vert _{L^2}\). It should be noted that the above results also hold if \(u\in C([0,\infty ); {\dot{B}}^{\frac{3}{q}-1}_{q,\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^3))\) with sufficiently small norm and \(2\le q\le 3\). The proofs are mainly based on some new estimates for the trilinear form in Besov spaces, the generalized energy inequalities and developed Fourier splitting method.
