Non-uniqueness of forced active scalar equations with even drift operators

Analysis of PDEs 2023-11-13 v1

Abstract

We consider forced active scalar equations with even and homogeneous degree 0 drift operator on Td\mathbb T^d. Inspired by the non-uniqueness construction for dyadic fluid models, by implementing a sum-difference convex integration scheme we obtain non-unique weak solutions for the active scalar equation in space Ct0CxαC_t^0C_x^\alpha with α<12d+1\alpha<\frac{1}{2d+1}. We note that in 1D, the regularity α<13\alpha<\frac13 is sharp as the energy identity is satisfied for solutions in CαC^\alpha with α>13\alpha>\frac13. Without external forcing, Isett and Vicol constructed non-unique weak solutions for such active scalar equations with spatial regularity CxαC_x^\alpha for α<14d+1\alpha<\frac{1}{4d+1}.
