Abstract:

In this note we extend the Ambrosio-DiPerna-Lions theory on the well-posedness of the transport equation to the case in which the vector field satisfies an $L^p$ Osgood condition. In particular we show that bounded distributional solutions to the transport equation are unique and thus renormalized. As opposed to the classical proof, we do not rely on the vanishing of a commutator, but we show that a weighted energy built out of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition of the solution is conserved.
