On generalized energy equality of the Navier-Stokes equations

We show that for every initial dataa εL ²(Ω) there exists a weak solutionu of the Navier-Stokes equations satisfying the generalized energy inequality introduced by Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg forn=3. We also show that if a weak solutionu εL ^s (0,T;L ^q (Ω)) with 2/q + 2/s ≤ 1 and 3/q + 1/s ≤ 1 forn=3, or 2/q + 2/s ≤ 1 andq ≥ 4 forn ≥ 4, thenu satisfies both the generalized and the usual energy equalities. Moreover we show that the generalized energy equality holds only under the local hypothesis thatu εL ^s (ε, T; L ^q (K)) for all compact setsK ⊂ ⊂ Ω and all 0 <ε <T with the same (q, s) as above when 3 ≤n ≤ 10.
