The initial vacuum is allowed. The main ingredient of the proof is \\textit{a priori} estimate for an important quantity under the assumption that the density is upper bounded, whose divergence can be viewed as the effective viscous flux.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-01-08T11:52:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q30" ], "keywords": [ "compressible navier-stokes equations", "beale-kato-majda blow-up criterion", "upper bound", "strong solution", "main ingredient" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1001.1247S" } } }
