Steady nearly incompressible vector fields in two-dimension: chain rule and renormalization (Q338082)

In this paper the authors introduce nearly incompressible vector field and study the characterization of the distribution \(\operatorname{div}(\beta(u)b)\) in terms of \(\operatorname{div} b\) and \(\operatorname{div}(ub)\). By constructing a nearly incompressible BV vector field \(b\), the authors improve related known results. In two dimension case, under some assumptions, a complete characterization of the distribution \(\operatorname{div}(\beta(u)b)\) in terms of \(\operatorname{div} b\) and \(\operatorname{div}(ub)\). is provided. As a consequence, a new uniqueness results is obtained for transport equations.
