Extreme temporal intermittency in the linear Sobolev transport: Almost smooth nonunique solutions

Alexey Cheskidov and Xiaoyutao Luo

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 6, 2161–2177
Abstract

We revisit the notion of temporal intermittency to obtain sharp nonuniqueness results for linear transport equations. We construct divergence-free vector fields with sharp Sobolev regularity Lt1W1,p for all p < in space dimensions d 2 whose transport equations admit nonunique weak solutions belonging to LtpCk for all p < and k . In particular, our result shows that the time-integrability assumption in the uniqueness of the DiPerna–Lions theory is essential. The same result also holds for transport-diffusion equations with diffusion operators of arbitrarily large order in any dimensions d 2.

Keywords
transport equation, nonuniqueness, convex integration
