They showed a finite time blow-up in the case where the dissipation degree $\\alpha$ is less than 1/4. In this paper we prove the existence of weak solutions for all $\\alpha$, energy inequality for every weak solution with nonnegative initial datum starting from any time, local regularity for $\\alpha > 1/3$, and global regularity for $\\alpha \\geq 1/2$. In addition, we prove a finite time blow-up in the case where $\\alpha<1/3$. It is remarkable that the model with $\\alpha=1/3$ enjoys the same estimates on the nonlinear term as the 4D Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we discuss a weak global attractor, which coincides with a maximal bounded invariant set for all $\\alpha$ and becomes a strong global attractor for $\\alpha \\geq 1/2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-06-08T14:15:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q30", "76D03", "76D05" ], "keywords": [ "dyadic model", "finite time blow-up", "weak solution", "strong global attractor", "4d navier-stokes equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......1074C" } } }
