We prove that a strong solution u to the Navier-Stokes equations on (0, T) can be extended if either u ∈ L θ (0, T; U˙ −α ∞,1/θ,∞) for 2/θ + α = 1, 0 < α < 1 or u ∈ L 2 (0, T; V˙ 0 ∞,∞,2 ) , where U˙ s p,β,σ and V˙ s p,q,θ are Banach spaces that may be larger than the homogeneous Besov space B˙ s p,q. Our method is based on a bilinear estimate and a logarithmic interpolation inequality.
