A classical result in Differential Geometry states that the flows of two smooth vector fields commute if and only if their Lie Bracket vanishes. In this work, we extend this result to a more general setting where one of the vector fields is…
We prove that for bounded, divergence-free vector fields in $L^1_{loc}((0,+\infty);BV_{loc}(R^d;R^d))$, regularisation by convolution of the vector field selects a single solution of the transport equation for any integrable initial datum.…
We study first- and second-order linear transport equations, as well as ODE and SDE flows, with velocity fields satisfying a one-sided Lipschitz condition. Depending on the time direction, the flows are either compressive or expansive. In…
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…
