A regularity criterion for the solution of the nematic liquid crystal flows in terms of ${\dot{B}}_{\infty ,\infty }^{-1}$-norm

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate regularity criterion for the solution of the nematic liquid crystal flows in dimension three and two. We prove the solution $(u,d)$ is smooth up to time $T$ provided that there exists a positive constant ${\epsilon }_0>0$ such that (i) for n=3, |(u,\nabla d)|_{L^{\infty}(0,T;\dot{B}^{-1}_{\infty,\infty})}\leq \varepsilon_{0}, and (ii) for $n=2$, |\nabla d|_{L^{\infty}(0,T;\dot{B}^{-1}_{\infty,\infty})}\leq \varepsilon_{0}.
