The uniqueness and the blow-up for the Euler equations: \[ \partial_tu+ u\cdot\nabla u= -\nabla p,\quad \text{div }u= 0,\quad t>0,\;x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\quad u(0, x)= u_0(x),\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^n,\tag{1} \] are discussed. The generalized Besov space is introduced, which essentially includes the functions of the bounded mean oscillation (BMO). A uniqueness theorem is proved which follows the uniqueness of the generalized solution for problem (1) when for the vorticity \[ \omega\in L^1(0, T,\text{BMO})\qquad (\omega\equiv \text{rot }u) \] holds. The proof of this theorem uses Osgood's uniqueness theorem. Lateron, a continuation theorem for smooth solutions is proved based on Gronwall's inequality.
