Ill-posedness for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations under barotropic condition in limiting Besov spaces

We consider the compressible Navier–Stokes system in the critical Besov spaces. It is known that the system is (semi-)well-posed in the scaling semi-invariant spaces of the homogeneous Besov spaces $\dot{B}^{n/p}_{p,1} \times \dot{B}^{n/p-1}_{p,1}$ for all $1 \leq p < 2n$. However, if the data is in a larger scaling invariant class such as $p > 2n$, then the system is not well-posed. In this paper, we demonstrate that for the critical case $p = 2n$ the system is ill-posed by showing that a sequence of initial data is constructed to show discontinuity of the solution map in the critical space. Our result indicates that the well-posedness results due to Danchin and Haspot are indeed sharp in the framework of the homogeneous Besov spaces.
