Abstract:
It has recently become common to study approximating equations
for the Navier-Stokes equation. One of these is the Leray-alpha equation,
which regularizes the Navier-Stokes equation by replacing (in most locations)
the solution u with
. Another is the generalized
Navier-Stokes equation, which replaces the Laplacian with a Fourier multiplier
with symbol of the form
(
is the standard Navier-Stokes equation),
and recently in [16] Tao also considered multipliers of
the form
, where g is (essentially) a logarithm.
The generalized Leray-alpha equation combines these two modifications by
incorporating the regularizing term and replacing the Laplacians with more
general Fourier multipliers, including allowing for g terms similar to those
used in [16]. Our goal in this paper is to obtain existence and
uniqueness results with low regularity and/or non-L^2 initial data.
We will also use energy estimates to extend some of these local existence
results to global existence results.
