This work guarantees the existence of a positive instant and a unique solution (with , , and ) for the micropolar equations. Furthermore, we consider the global existence in time of this solution in order to prove the following decay rates:
These limits are established by applying the estimate
where T relies only on and M (the inequality above is also demonstrated in this paper). Here M is a bound for (for all ) which results from the limits .
This paper studies local existence of a unique solution as well as decay rates (if it is assumed that this solution is global in time) for the following 2D Micropolar equations in Sobolev–Gevrey spaces:
where denotes the incompressible velocity field, the micro-rotational velocity field and the hydrostatic pressure. The positive constants and γ are associated with specific properties of the fluid; more precisely, are the kinematic, spin and vortex viscosities, respectively. The initial data for the velocity field, given by in (1), is assumed to be divergence free, i.e., . Here and .
The local existence, uniqueness and blow-up of solutions for the micropolar system (1) and for its periodic version have been extensively studied in the literature, see for instance [5,7,10–13,17,18,20,22,24–27,29] and references therein.
By considering and instead of in (1), W.G. Melo, N.F. Rocha and E. Barbosa [23] proved that there are a positive instant and a unique solution (with , , , and ) for the Navier–Stokes system (we also cite [1–3,6,15,16,19] and references therein). Let us inform that the similar 3D MHD case is treated in [14]. Motivated by the paper [23], we are interested in showing which are the assumptions that are necessary in order to guarantee the local existence and uniqueness of solutions for the equations given in (1) in nonhomogeneous Sobolev–Gevrey spaces. More precisely, we present our first result.
Let,andwith. Letsuch that. If(respectively), then there exist a time(respectively) and a unique solution, for all, of the Micropolar equations given in (

).
It is worth to emphasize that the critical case is not proved in our paper due to a specific technical issue. More precisely, the first integral in (12) below is not finite if (see also Lemmas 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7 where ). Moreover, local solutions for the Micropolar equations in the specific Sobolev–Gevrey space have not been studied in the literature yet (for the knowledge of the authors). In order to cite some papers related to the (2D or 3D) critical usual Sobolev spaces, see [2,4,6,7,13,17,21,22,26–28] and references therein
By observing Theorem 1.1, we suppose that the solution obtained above is global in order to present decay rates related to the spaces and (where , and with ). Let us inform that theses rates will be accomplished by applying the following result established by R.H. Guterres, W.G. Melo, J.R. Nunes and C.F. Perusato [13].

This proves Theorem 1.3(i).
Note that

By using the fact that (for all ), the first limit in (7) assures that
The most important observation is that Theorem 1.3(iii) assures that the micro-rotational velocity field decays faster than the velocity field (see Theorem 1.2), provided that .
