Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the incompressible inhomogeneous Navier–Stokes equations have a unique global solution with initial data \({(a_0,u_0)}\) in critical Besov spaces \({\dot{B}_{q,1}^{\frac{n}{q}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\times\dot{B}_{p,1}^{\frac{n}{p}-1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\) satisfying a nonlinear smallness condition for all \({(p,q)\in[1,2n)\times[1,\infty)}\), \({-\frac1n\leq\frac1p-\frac1q\leq\frac1n}\) and \({\frac1p+\frac1q > \frac1n}\). We also construct an initial data satisfying that nonlinear smallness condition, but the norm of each component of the initial velocity field can be arbitrarily large in \({\dot{B}_{p,1}^{\frac{n}{p}-1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\) with \({n < p < 2n}\).
