Abstract
Weighted estimates on the Stokes flows are given by means of the Stokes solution formula in the half space, which can be regarded as a complement and improvement on the previous known results. There are two main difficulties: in weighted cases, usual \(L^q-L^r\) estimates for the Stokes flows do not work any more, and the projection operator becomes unbounded possibly. Finally, as an application, employing these weighted estimates on the Stokes solution, we establish some weighted decay results for the Navier–Stokes flows.
