A uniqueness result for the continuity equation in two dimensions

Giovanni Alberti, Stefano Bianchini, Gianluca Crippa (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We characterize the autonomous, divergence-free vector fields $b$ on the plane such that the Cauchy problem for the continuity equation $\partial_{t} u + \frac{.}{\dot{}} (b u) = 0$ admits a unique bounded solution (in the weak sense) for every bounded initial datum; the characterization is given in terms of a property of Sard type for the potential $f$ associated to $b$ . As a corollary we obtain uniqueness under the assumption that the curl of $b$ is a measure. This result can be extended to certain non-autonomous vector fields $b$ with bounded divergence....

Adaptive mesh refinement strategy for a non conservative transport problem

Benjamin Aymard, Frédérique Clément, Marie Postel (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Long time simulations of transport equations raise computational challenges since they require both a large domain of calculation and sufficient accuracy. It is therefore advantageous, in terms of computational costs, to use a time varying adaptive mesh, with small cells in the region of interest and coarser cells where the solution is smooth. Biological models involving cell dynamics fall for instance within this framework and are often non conservative to account for cell division. In that case...

On the Plasma-Charge problem

Mario Pulvirenti (2009/2010)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

This short report is a review on recent results of S. Caprino, C. Marchioro, E. Miot and the author on the initial value problem associated to the evolution of a continuous distribution of charges (plasma) in presence of a finite number of point charges.
