Abstract

In this paper, we solve an open problem left in the monographs \cite[Bahouri-Chemin-Danchin, (2011)]{BCD}. Precisely speaking, it was obtained in \cite[Theorem 7.1 on pp293, (2011)]{BCD} the existence and uniqueness of Bp,sB^s_{p,\infty} solution for the Euler equations. We furthermore prove that the solution map of the Euler equation is not continuous in the Besov spaces from Bp,sB^s_{p,\infty} to LTBp,sL_T^\infty B^s_{p,\infty} for s>1+d/ps>1+d/p with 1p1\leq p\leq \infty and in the H\"{o}lder spaces from Ck,αC^{k,\alpha} to LTCk,αL_T^\infty C^{k,\alpha} with kN+k\in \mathbb{N}^+ and α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), which later covers particularly the ill-posedness of C1,αC^{1,\alpha} solution in \cite[Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., (2018)]{MYtams}. Beyond purely technical aspects on the choice of initial data, a remarkable novelty of the proof is the construction of an approximate solution to the Burgers equation.
