Abstract:

We prove the weak-strong uniqueness for measure-valued solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. These were introduced by R.DiPerna and A.Majda in their landmark paper \cite{DiPernaMajda}, where in particular global existence to any $L^2$ initial data was proven. Whether measure-valued solutions agree with classical solutions if the latter exist has apparently remained open.

We also show that DiPerna's measure-valued solutions to systems of conservation laws have the weak-strong uniqueness property.
