Abstract

Consider a weak instationary solution u of the Navier-Stokes equations in a domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}\), i.e.,
$$u \in L^{\infty }\big(0,T;L^{2}(\Omega )\big) \cap L^{2}\big(0,T;W_{0}^{1,2}(\Omega )\big)$$
and u solves the Navier-Stokes system in the sense of distributions. It is a famous open problem whether weak solutions are unique and smooth. A main step in the analysis of this problem is to show that the given weak solution is a strong one in the sense of J. Serrin, i.e., \(u \in L^{s}\big(0,T;L^{q}(\Omega )\big)\) where s > 2, q > 3 and \(\frac{2} {s} + \frac{3} {q} = 1\). In this review we report on recent results on this problem, considering first of all optimal initial values u(0) to yield a local in time strong solution, then criteria to prove regularity locally on subintervals of [0, T). Special emphasis is put on results for smooth bounded and also general unbounded domains. Most criteria are based on conditions of Besov space type.
