Onsager-type conjecture for active scalar equations
Onsager-type conjecture for active scalar equations
Let be a weak solution of the active scalar equation, let be the parameter appearing in the equation, and set
The Hamiltonian is
with the Fourier multiplier defined in the preceding setup. Onsager-type conjecture. All weak solutions satisfying
conserve the Hamiltonian. Conversely, for every
there exist weak solutions satisfying
that do not conserve the Hamiltonian. This conjecture proposes a sharp Onsager-type regularity threshold for Hamiltonian conservation in the active scalar equations; the positive and negative parts respectively assert conservation above the threshold and anomalous dissipation below it.
