Transport equation in generalized Campanato spaces (Q6058044)

Summary: In this paper we study the transport equation in \(\mathbb{R}^n \times (0, T)\), \(T > 0\), \(n \geq 2\), \[ \partial_t f + v \cdot \nabla f = g, \quad f(\cdot, 0)= f_0 \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^n, \] in generalized Campanato spaces \(\mathscr{L}^s_{{q(p, N)}} (\mathbb{R}^n)\). The critical case is particularly interesting, and is applied to the local well-posedness problem for the incompressible Euler equations in a space close to the Lipschitz space in our companion paper [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire 38, No. 2, 201--241 (2021; Zbl 1458.35308)]. In the critical case \(s=q=N=1\), we have the embeddings \(B^1_{\infty, 1} (\mathbb{R}^n) \hookrightarrow \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)}(\mathbb{R}^n) \hookrightarrow C^{0, 1} (\mathbb{R}^n)\), where \(B^1_{\infty, 1} (\mathbb{R}^n)\) and \(C^{0, 1} (\mathbb{R}^n)\) are the Besov and Lipschitz spaces, respectively. For \(f_0 \in \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)} (\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(v \in L^1(0, T; \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)} (\mathbb{R}^n)))\) and \(g \in L^1(0, T; \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)} (\mathbb{R}^n)))\), we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the transport equation in \(L^\infty (0, T; \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)} (\mathbb{R}^n))\) such that \[ \|f\|_{L^\infty (0, T; \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)} (\mathbb{R}^n)))} \leq C \big(\|v\|_{L^1(0, T; \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)}(\mathbb{R}^n)))}, \|g\|_{L^1(0, T; \mathscr{L}^1_{1(p, 1)} (\mathbb{R}^n)))}\big). \] Similar results for the other cases are also proved.
