The seminal work of DiPerna and Lions [Invent. Math., 98, 1989] guarantees the existence and uniqueness of regular Lagrangian flows for Sobolev vector fields. The latter is a suitable selection of trajectories of the related ODE satisfying…
We construct a large class of examples of non-uniqueness for the linear transport equation and the transport-diffusion equation with divergence-free vector fields in Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}$.
Given a divergence-free vector field ${\bf u} \in L^\infty_t W^{1,p}_x(\mathbb R^d)$ and a nonnegative initial datum $\rho_0 \in L^r$, the celebrated DiPerna--Lions theory established the uniqueness of the weak solution in the class of…
In this paper we provide a complete analogy between the Cauchy-Lipschitz and the DiPerna-Lions theories for ODE's, by developing a local version of the DiPerna-Lions theory. More precisely, we prove existence and uniqueness of a maximal…

In this paper, 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 $L^1_t W^{1,p}$ for all $p<\infty$…

We study the advection equation along vector fields singular at the initial time. More precisely, we prove that for divergence-free vector fields in $L^1_{loc}((0, T ]; BV (\mathbb{T}^d;\mathbb{R}^d))\cap L^2((0, T )…
For any modulus of continuity $\omega$ that fails the Osgood condition, we construct a divergence-free velocity field $v \in C_t C^\omega_x$ for which the associated ODE admits at least two distinct flow maps. In other words, non-uniqueness…
We deal with the uniqueness of distributional solutions to the continuity equation with a Sobolev vector field and with the property of being a Lagrangian solution, that means transported by a flow of the associated ordinary differential…
We study a class of discontinuous vector fields brought to our attention by multi-legged animal locomotion. Such vector fields arise not only in biomechanics, but also in robotics, neuroscience, and electrical engineering, to name a few…
The vortex-wave system is a model for the evolution of 2D incompressible fluids in which the vorticity is split into a finite sum of Dirac masses plus an Lp part. Existence of a weak solution for this system was recently proved by Lopes…
We prove that every closed set which is not sigma-finite with respect to the Hausdorff measure H^{N-1} carries singularities of continuous vector fields in the Euclidean space R^N for the divergence operator. We also show that finite…
