Optimal decay for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations without additional smallness assumptions

This work is concerned with the large time behavior of solutions to the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^{d}(d\geq2)$. Precisely, it is shown that if the initial density and velocity additionally belong to some Besov space $\dot{B}^{-σ_1}_{2,\infty}$ with $σ_1\in (1-d/2, 2d/p-d/2]$, then the $L^p$ norm (the slightly stronger $\dot{B}^{0}_{p,1}$ norm in fact) of global solutions admits the optimal decay $t^{-\frac{d}{2}(\frac 12-\frac 1p)-\frac{σ_1}{2}}$ for $t\rightarrow+\infty$. In contrast to refined time-weighted approaches ([11,43]), a pure energy argument (independent of the spectral analysis) has been developed in more general $L^p$ critical framework, which allows to remove the smallness of low frequencies of initial data. Indeed, bounding the evolution of $\dot{B}^{-σ_1}_{2,\infty}$-norm restricted in low frequencies is the key ingredient, whose proof mainly depends on non standard $L^p$ product estimates with respect to different Sobolev embeddings. The result can hold true in case of large highly oscillating initial velocities.
