# The large-time behavior of solutions in the critical $L^p$ framework for compressible viscous and heat-conductive gas flows

## TL;DR

This paper establishes the large-time decay behavior of solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the critical $L^p$ framework, under additional low-frequency regularity assumptions, extending previous results.

## Contribution

It introduces a new low-frequency regularity assumption that allows for sharp time-decay estimates of global solutions in the critical Besov spaces.

## Key findings

- Time-decay rate of solutions matches heat kernel in $L^p$ spaces.
- Extended the range of low-frequency regularity for decay estimates.
- Established decay estimates under less restrictive initial data conditions.

## Abstract

The $L^{p}$ theory for non-isentropic Navier-Stokes equations governing compressible viscous and heat-conductive gases is not yet proved completely so far, because the critical regularity cannot control all non linear coupling terms. In this paper, we pose an additional regularity assumption of low frequencies in $\mathbb{R}^d(d\geq 3)$, and then the sharp time-weighted inequality can be established, which leads to the time-decay estimates of global strong solutions in the $L^{p}$ critical Besov spaces. Precisely, we show that if the initial data belong to some Besov space $\dot{B}^{-s_{1}}_{2,\infty}$ with $s_{1}\in (1-\frac{d}{2}, s_0](s_0\triangleq \frac{2d}{p}-\frac{d}{2})$, then the $L^{p}$ norm of the critical global solutions admits the time decay $t^{-\frac{s_{1}}{2}-\frac{d}{2}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p})}$ (in particular, $t^{-\frac{d}{2p}}$ if $s_1=s_0$), which coincides with that of heat kernel in the $L^p$ framework. In comparison with \cite{DX2}, the low-frequency regularity $s_1$ can be improved to be \textit{the whole range}.
