Abstract:
We prove local regularity up to the flat part of the boundary, for certain classes of distributional solutions that are $L_\infty L^{3,q}$ with $q$ finite. The corresponding result, for the interior case, was proven recently by Wang and Zhang, see also work by Phuc. For local regularity, up to the flat part of the boundary, $q=3$ was established by G. A. Seregin. Our result can be viewed as an extension of this to $L^{3,q}$ with $q$ finite. New scale-invariant bounds, refined pressure decay estimates near the boundary and development of a convenient new $\epsilon$-regularity criterion are central themes in providing this extension.
