| contents | The asymptotic stability is one of the classical problems in the field of mathematical analysis of fluid mechanics. In $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 3$, it is easily proved by the standard argument that if the given small external force decays at temporal infinity, then the small forced Navier--Stokes flow also strongly converges to zero as time tends to infinity in the framework of the critical Besov spaces $\dot{B}_{p,q}^{n/p-1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $1 \leq p < n$ and $1 \leq q < \infty$. In the present paper, we show that this asymptotic stability fails for $p \geq n$ with $n \geq 3$ in the sense that there exist arbitrary small external forces whose critical Besov norm decays in large time, whereas the corresponding Navier--Stokes flows oscillate and do not strongly converge as $t \to \infty$ in the framework of the critical Besov spaces $\dot{B}_{p,q}^{n/p-1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Moreover, we find that the situation is different in the two-dimensional case $n=2$ and show the forced Navier--Stokes flow is asymptotically unstable in $\dot{B}_{p,1}^{2/p-1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for all $1 \leq p \leq \infty$. Our instability does not appear in the linear level but is caused by the nonlinear interaction from external forces. |
