Renormalization conjecture for bounded nearly incompressible BV vector fields

Let bb be a bounded, nearly incompressible vector field in BVloc(R×Rd)\operatorname{BV}_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{d}). A bounded, nearly incompressible vector field bBVloc(R×Rd)b \in \operatorname{BV}_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{d}) has the renormalization property in the sense that, for every ρ\rho-weak solution uL(I×R2)u \in L^{\infty}(I \times \mathbb{R}^{2}) of the transport equation and every βC1(R)\beta \in C^1(\mathbb{R}), the function β(u)\beta(u) is also a ρ\rho-weak solution. Renormalization conjecture. Every bounded, nearly incompressible vector field bBVloc(R×Rd)b \in \operatorname{BV}_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{d}) has the renormalization property. This conjecture is presented as a statement that would imply a conjecture of A. Bressan; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
