Inspired by the non-uniqueness construction for dyadic fluid models, by implementing a sum-difference convex integration scheme we obtain non-unique weak solutions for the active scalar equation in space $C_t^0C_x^\\alpha$ with $\\alpha<\\frac{1}{2d+1}$. We note that in 1D, the regularity $\\alpha<\\frac13$ is sharp as the energy identity is satisfied for solutions in $C^\\alpha$ with $\\alpha>\\frac13$. Without external forcing, Isett and Vicol constructed non-unique weak solutions for such active scalar equations with spatial regularity $C_x^\\alpha$ for $\\alpha<\\frac{1}{4d+1}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-10T13:58:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q35", "35Q86", "76D03" ], "keywords": [ "forced active scalar equations", "drift operator", "non-uniqueness", "sum-difference convex integration scheme", "vicol constructed non-unique weak solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
