Abstract: We consider solutions to the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Euler equations on the 3-dimensional torus which are continuous or H"older continuous for any exponent heta<frac116. Using the techniques introduced in cite{DS12} and cite{DS12H}, we prove the existence of infinitely many (H"older) continuous initial vector fields starting from which there exist infinitely many (H"older) continuous solutions with preassigned total kinetic energy.


In 1949, L. Onsager stated the following conjecture: (a) For every weak solution \(u(x,t)\) to the incompressible Euler equations with Hölder smoothness greater than 1/3, the total kinetic energy \(\int |u(x,t)|dx\) is a time-independent constant. (b) Conversely, there exists a weak solution with Hölder smoothness smaller than 1/3, whose total kinetic energy is monotone decreasing. The statement (b) means that an energy dissipation due to irregularity of a flow may happen, and it is called anomalous dissipation. De Lellis and Székelyhidi constructed the first examples substantiating the anomalous dissipation. The author considers this problem on a 3D torus \(\mathbf{T}^3\), and gives a wider result. He shows that there are infinitely many solutions to the Euler equations with Hölder smoothness smaller than 1/16, which dissipate the total kinetic energy. Precisely speaking, he assumes that \(e(t)\) is a positive smooth function on \([0,1]\) and \(\theta\) is smaller than 1/16. Then there exist infinitely many initial values \(v_0 (x)\) which satisfy \(\int_{\mathbf{T}^3} |v_0 (x)|^2 dx = e(0)\) and the following conditions: (c) One can obtain weak solutions \(v(x,t)\) to the corresponding initial value problem for the Euler equations. (d) The solutions \(v(x,t)\) have Hölder smoothness \(\theta\) and satisfy \(\int_{\mathbf{T}^3} |v(x,t)|^2 dx = e(t)\).
