In this paper, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the solution with discontinuous density for the 3-D inhomogeneous Navier–Stokes equations if the initial data (ρ0,u0)∈L∞(R3)×Hs(R3) with satisfies
for some small ε>0 depending only on c0, C0. Furthermore, we introduce the dual method to show that if u0∈Lp(R3) for , the velocity satisfies the decay estimate
