On the (x,t) asymptotic properties of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space

We study the space-time asymptotic behavior of classical solutions of the initial-boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes system in the half-space. We construct a (local in time) solution corresponding to an initial data that is only assumed to be continuous and decreasing at infinity as |x|^−μ, μ ∈ (1/2,n). We prove pointwise estimates in the space variable. Moreover, if μ ∈ 1, n) and the initial data is suitably small, then the above solutions are global (in time), and we prove space-time pointwise estimates. Bibliography: 19 titles.
