In this paper, we resolve an important long-standing question of Alberti \cite{alberti2012generalized} that asks if there is a continuous vector field with bounded divergence and of class $W^{1, p}$ for some $p \geq 1$ such that the ODE…
We consider the following Dirichlet problems for elliptic equations with singular drift $\mathbf{b}$: \[ \text{(a) } -\operatorname{div}(A \nabla u)+\operatorname{div}(u\mathbf{b})=f,\quad \text{(b) } -\operatorname{div}(A^T \nabla…
