Abstract
In this paper we prove that if a suitable weak solution u of the Navier–Stokes equations is an element of Lw(0T;Ls(R3)) , where 1 ≤ 2/w + 3/s ≤ 3/2 and 3 < w, s < ∞, then the box-counting dimension of the set of space-time singularities is no greater than max{w, s}(2/w + 3/s − 1). We also show that if uLw(0T;Ls()) with 2 < s ≤ w < ∞, then the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set is bounded by w(2/w + 3/s − 2). In this way we link continuously the bounds on the dimension of the singular set that follow from the partial regularity theory of Caffarelli, Kohn, & Nirenberg (Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 35:771–831, 1982) to the regularity conditions of Serrin (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 9:187–191, 1962) and Beirão da Veiga (Chin. Ann. Math. Ser. B 16(4):407–412, 1995).
