Abstract:

In this paper we improve the regularity in time of the gradient of the pressure field arising in Brenier's variational weak solutions to incompressible Euler equations. This improvement is necessary to obtain that the pressure field is not only a measure, but a function in $L^2_{\rm loc}\left((0,T);BV_{\rm loc}(D)\right)$. In turn, this is a fundamental ingredient in the analysis made in our previous paper of the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for this variational problem.
