Well-posedness and decay for the dissipative system modeling electro-hydrodynamics in negative Besov spaces

In \cite{GW12} (Y. Guo, Y. Wang, Decay of dissipative equations and negative Sobolev spaces, Commun. Partial Differ. Equ. 37 (2012) 2165--2208), Y. Guo and Y. Wang developed a general new energy method for proving the optimal time decay rates of the solutions to dissipative equations. In this paper, we generalize this method in the framework of homogeneous Besov spaces. Moreover, we apply this method to a model arising from electro-hydrodynamics, which is a coupled system of the Navier-Stokes equations and the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations through charge transport and external forcing terms. We show that the negative Besov norms are preserved along time evolution, and obtain the optimal temporal decay rates of the higher-order spatial derivatives of solutions by the Fourier splitting approach and the interpolation techniques.
