Abstract

In this note we prove a logarithmically improved regularity criterion in terms of the Besov space norm for the Navier–Stokes equations. The result shows that if a mild solution u satisfies \({\int_{0}^{T}\frac{\|u (t,\cdot)\|_{{\dot{B}}_{\infty,\infty}^{-r}}^{\frac{2}{1-r}}}{1+\ln(e+\| u(t,\cdot)\|_{H^{s}})}\text{d}t < \infty}\) for some 0 ≤ r < 1 and \({s\geq\frac{n}{2}-1}\) , then u is regular at t = T.
