1 Introduction
In this paper, we focus on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations which govern the motion of a general barotropic compressible fluid in the whole space
[TABLE]
Here denotes the velocity field and is the density, respectively. The density-dependent functions and (the shear and bulk viscosity coefficients of the flow) are supposed to be smooth enough and to fulfill the standard strong parabolicity assumption:
[TABLE]
In the physical case the viscosity coefficients satisfy which is a special case of the previous assumption. The strain tensor is the symmetric part of the velocity gradient . The barotropic assumption means that the pressure depends only upon the density of fluid and the function is suitably smooth in what follows.
We supplement with initial data for System (1.3) and furthermore suppose that
[TABLE]
The main difficulty in the study of the compressible fluid flows when dealing with the vacuum is that the momentum equation loses its parabolic regularizing effect. That is why in the present paper we suppose that the initial data is a small perturbation of an equilibrium state .
There is a huge literature on the studies of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (1.3). Here we mainly pay attention on the global existence of strong solutions to (1.3). Kazhikhov and Shelukhin [14] established the first existence result on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in one-dimensional space for sufficiently smooth data. Serre [26, 27] and Hoff [9] investigated the problems for discontinuous initial data, and Mellet–Vasseur [20] considered the case of dependent viscosity coefficient, where the initial density should be bounded away from the vacuum. For the multidimensional case, the first effort is due to Matsumura–Nishida [22] in the eighties. Actually, in three dimensions, they established the global classical solutions for initial data close to a non-vacuum equilibrium under the Sobolev space setting , and later by Hoff [10, 11, 12] for discontinuous initial data. The existence of global strong solution for large initial data remains largely open for the multidimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with general initial data. In the context of solutions under the assumption that small perturbations of an equilibrium state, a breakthrough was obtained by Danchin [4]. He addressed the global existence issue for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the critical Hilbert-type Besov spaces framework. The global well-posedness result was extended to the suitable -type Besov framework by Charve–Danchin [2] and Chen–Miao-Zhang [3], respectively. The common point between all above works is that the shear viscosity coefficient is assumed to be bounded from below by a positive constant which allows to control the gradient of the velocity, that the initial density is close to a stable constant steady state, and that the initial velocity is assumed to be small.
Although the theory is satisfactory in what concerns local time behavior and small data, many issues of global behavior of solutions for large data are far from being understood. In this research line, let us recall that there are examples of large data generating global strong solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. It should be mentioned that the remarkable work of Vaigant–Kazhikhov [29] who proved the existence of global strong solution in for any large initial data (with enough regularity) under the shear viscosity coefficient is a positive constant and the bulk viscosity coefficient grows at least like with . More recently, B. Haspot [8] established the existence of global strong solutions allowing for large potential part of the initial velocity in the case where depends linearly on and . Subsequently, Danchin–Mucha [5] showed global existence of regular solutions to the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with arbitrary large initial velocity and almost constant density under the assumption of large bulk viscosity. Fang–Zhang–Zi [6] proved that the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations admit global solutions when the initial data are close to a stable equilibrium in the sense of suitable hybrid Besov norm, where the initial velocity with arbitrary norm of potential part and large highly oscillating are allowed. For more results of global existence of strong solutions for the multidimensional problems, we refer the reader to see [7, 15, 16, 17, 19, 23, 24, 25, 30] and the references therein. One can mention that Lei–Lin–Zhou [18] proved the global well-posedness of incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with a class of large data in the energy space which includes the Beltrami flow. Motivated by this work, we continue to study the global behavior of solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (1.3) for arbitrary large initial in the present paper.
2 Renormalized System and Statement of Main Results
Firstly, we assume that without loss of generality. For the sake of simplicity, we denote
[TABLE]
Our main goal is to construct the global classic solutions to (1.3) for a class of large initial data. Our results will strongly rely on the following homogeneous heat system:
[TABLE]
As the local existence issue is nowadays well understood, we concentrate our attention on the proof of global-in-time a priori estimates under the assumption that the initial density is bounded away from zero and tends to some positive constant at infinity. We assume from now on that just for convenience. Denoting , hence, as long as does not vanish, we can reformulate the system (1.3) equivalently as follows
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Introducing the new quantity , the system (2.11) can be rewritten as follows
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Throughout the paper, we focus on the new system (2.15) since it is equivalent to the original system (1.3) for sufficiently smooth solutions. The main results of the paper read as follows:
Theorem 2.1
Let . Assume that the initial data fulfills and . Let be solutions to (2.7) which satisfy that for some sufficiently small positive constant and universal constant
[TABLE]
where , then the system (2.15) has a unique global solution.
Next, we establish the global classic solutions to (1.3) for a class of large initial data.
Let be the solutions generated by the following heat equations
[TABLE]
Setting
[TABLE]
then we find that solves the heat equations (2.7).
Thus, Theorem 2.1 reduces to the following more exact version.
Theorem 2.2
Let . Assume that the initial data fulfills and with
[TABLE]
there exists some sufficiently small positive constant and universal constant such that if
[TABLE]
then the system (2.15) has a unique global solution.
Remark 2.1
By choosing a special initial data, we can show that . This kind of initial data can be constructed as follows (without loss of generality, we take and ).
For , we set
[TABLE]
where the smooth functions satisfying , ,
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
For , we set
[TABLE]
where the smooth functions satisfying ,
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Then, direct calculations show that the left side of (2.16) becomes
[TABLE]
In fact, one has
[TABLE]
Therefore, choosing small enough, we deduce that the system (2.15) has a unique global solution.
Notice that and , we can deduce that
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
Moreover, we also have ||\hat{\omega}_{0}||_{L^{1}}\gtrsim\Big{(}\log\log\frac{1}{\varepsilon}\Big{)}^{\frac{1}{2}}.
Using the fact , then we have ||u_{0}||_{L^{\infty}}\gtrsim\Big{(}\log\log\frac{1}{\varepsilon}\Big{)}^{\frac{1}{2}}.
Since \mathrm{supp}\hat{u}_{0}\subset\Big{\{}|\xi|:\frac{4}{3}\leq|\xi|\leq\frac{3}{2}\Big{\}}, then we have
[TABLE]
Thus, we can conclude that
[TABLE]
As a by product of Theorem 2.2, we get the global classic solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a class of large initial data.
Corollary 2.1
Let . Assume that the initial data fulfills . Let be solutions to (2.7) which satisfy (2.16), then the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
[TABLE]
has a unique global solution.
Remark 2.2
As constructed in Remark 2.1, the initial data with can generate a unique global solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. This improves the classical result of Hmidi–Li [13] who showed that smallness of norm of solution to d-dimensional () incompressible Navier-Stokes prevents blowups.

4 Proof of the Main Results
Before proceeding on, we introduce the following simplified notations
[TABLE]
and define
[TABLE]
which together with Sobolev’s inequality implies that
[TABLE]
where is a small enough positive constant which will be determined later on.
Here, we emphasize that the fact which will be used often: for some smooth functions with , from (4.1) and Lemma 3.3, there hold
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Now, we begin to prove the Theorem 2.1 and divide it into several parts.
Step 1: Estimation of .
Applying to the both sides of Equs., taking the inner product with and summing the resulting over yields
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
For the term , we can reduce it to

[TABLE]
For the term , using the Hölder inequality, (4.3) and Lemma 3.2, we have
[TABLE]
Inserting (4.4)–(4.6) into (4.2) yields
[TABLE]
Step 2: Estimation of .
Applying in Equs. and doting the resulting equations with , then summing them over gives

[TABLE]
Taking the similar argument as for yields
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
Similarly, for and , we have
[TABLE]
To estimate , according to Hölder’s inequality, we have
[TABLE]
For , we write is as
[TABLE]
By the Hölder inequality and Lemma 3.3, we have
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
For , we write it as
[TABLE]
By taking advantage of the Hölder inequality and Lemmas 3.2 and 3.3, we have
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
Similar argument as , we have
[TABLE]
For , we also have
[TABLE]
According to the Hölder inequality and Lemma 3.3, we have
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
For , performing integrating by parts, we write it as
[TABLE]
From Lemma 3.3, we have

[TABLE]
For , we infer from Lemmas 3.2–3.3 that
[TABLE]
Similar argument as that of , we have
[TABLE]
Plugging (4.9)–(4.18) into (4.8) gives
[TABLE]
Step 3: Estimation of .
In order to close the above estimates, we need to bound . To achieve this goal, performing direct calculations gives
[TABLE]

Invoking Lemmas 3.2 yields
[TABLE]
Holder’s inequality gives
[TABLE]
The terms and can be similarly estimated as that of , we have
[TABLE]
The terms and can be similarly estimated as that of , we have
[TABLE]
From Lemmas 3.2–3.3 and Holder’s inequality, we get
[TABLE]
Putting (4.22)–(4) together with (4.27) implies
[TABLE]
Step 4: Closure of The A Priori Estimates.
Now, we are in a position to close the above all estimates from Step 1–Step 3.
Fundamental observations give that for some suitable positive constant
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Multiplying the inequality (4.27) by , combining (4.7) and (4.19), then integrating in time yields
[TABLE]
Choosing small enough such that the first term of right hand of (4) is absorbed. Thus, for all , we infer from (4)
[TABLE]
Gronwall’s inequality implies for all
[TABLE]
provided that the condition (2.16) holds.
Choosing , thus we can get
[TABLE]
So if , due to the continuity of the solutions, we can obtain that there exists such that
[TABLE]
which is contradiction with the definition of .
Thus, we can conclude and
[TABLE]
which implies that . This completes the proof of Theorem 2.1.
Proof of Theorem 2.2 It follows from (2.17) that solves the following system
[TABLE]
Notice that , then we have for all ,
[TABLE]
To estimate , direct calculations show that
[TABLE]
By Lemma 3.3 and (2.18), we have
[TABLE]
Thus, (2.18) is ensured whenever (2.19) holds. We complete the proof of Corollary 2.2.
