In the recent work, we have developed a decay framework in general Lp critical spaces and established optimal time-decay estimates for barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations. Those decay rates of Lq-Lr type of the solution and its derivatives are available in the critical regularity framework, which were exactly firstly observed by Matsumura & Nishida, and subsequently generalized by Ponce for solutions with high Sobolev regularity. We would like to mention that our approach is likely to be effective for other hyperbolic/parabolic systems that are encountered in fluid mechanics or mathematical physics. In this paper, a new observation is involved in the high frequency, which enables us to improve decay exponents for the high frequencies of solutions.
