Oct 20 at 18:47 comment added Joako @ThomasRichard Hi! I am really interested in the model you mention, Do you know any source or link where I can see the analysis of that system in detail? Thanks beforehand.

Sep 5, 2013 at 2:27 comment added Thomas Richard It might be useful to mention that the ODE $y'=-\sqrt{y_+}$, for which non uniqueness holds, actually models a real physical system. $y(t)$ represents the water height in a pierced cylindrical bucket. And the non uniqueness of the Cauchy problem with initial condition $y(0)=0$ is natural in this model: if you know the bucket is empty at time $0$, it is hard to tell if there was water in it before and when it got empty.
