Inverse Energy Cascade and Non-uniqueness for the Advection-Diffusion Equation
Abstract
We prove non-uniqueness for the advection-diffusion equation with a drift in a logarithmically near-critical class below Lt2Lx∞. The first construction is a diffusion-assisted inverse cascade of scalar energy that diverges as t → 0. The second uses compressed inverse mixing, with diffusion acting perturbatively, and produces a bounded parabolic solution with the energy jump at the initial time. In both constructions the drift and scalar are smooth for positive time. We also consider the drift in L2,∞tL∞x and solutions satisfying the energy inequality starting from almost every time. In this setting, we prove uniqueness of solutions with bounded energy, and construct non-unique solution with energy blowing up as time goes to zero.

AB - We prove non-uniqueness for the advection-diffusion equation with a drift in a logarithmically near-critical class below L_t^2L_x^∞. The first construction is a diffusion-assisted inverse cascade of scalar energy that diverges as t → 0. The second uses compressed inverse mixing, with diffusion acting perturbatively, and produces a bounded parabolic solution with the energy jump at the initial time. In both constructions the drift and scalar are smooth for positive time. We also consider the drift in L^2,∞_tL^∞_x and solutions satisfying the energy inequality starting from almost every time. In this setting, we prove uniqueness of solutions with bounded energy, and construct non-unique solution with energy blowing up as time goes to zero.
