Abstract

The main issue addressed in this paper concerns an extension of a result by Z. Zhang who proved, in the context of the homogeneous Besov space \(\dot {B}_{\infty ,\infty }^{-1}(\mathbb {R}^{3})\), that, if the solution of the Boussinesq equation (1) below (starting with an initial data in H2) is such that \((\nabla u,\nabla \theta )\in L^{2}(0,T;\dot {B}_{\infty ,\infty }^{-1}(\mathbb {R}^{3}))\), then the solution remains smooth forever after T. In this contribution, we prove the same result for weak solutions just by assuming the condition on the velocity u and not on the temperature 𝜃.
