Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic decay properties in both spatial and temporal variables for a class of weak and strong solutions, by constructing the weak and strong solutions in corresponding weighted spaces. It is shown that, for the strong solution, the rate of temporal decay depends on the rate of spatial decay of the initial data. Such rates of decay are optimal.
