Uniqueness results for linear first order systems of PDEs

Context: I have the following system of PDEs, for an unknown function $u:\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\to \mathbb{C}^m$ (it is a system in the components of $u$): $$u_{x_0}=\sum_{i=1}^n A_iu_{x_i} + B(x)u\qquad u(...

Uniqueness of the solution to systems of first-order linear PDEs

Context: Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^p$ be an domain. For functions $A_{jk}^i : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ and $B_k^i : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ with some regularity, I am interested in the following ...

Non-uniqueness of solutions to a simple nonlinear elliptic PDE in $\mathbb R^n$

My question is about non-uniqueness of solutions of an elliptic PDE in $\mathbb R^n$ with source term in a scaling-subcritical space (regular, but with too slow decay at infinity), and with some nice ...

A simple question on the Navier-Stokes system

The Navier-Stokes system for incompressible fluids in $\mathbb R^3$ reads as \begin{align} &\frac{\partial v}{\partial t}+\mathbb P\bigl((v\cdot \nabla) v\bigr)-\nu \Delta v=0, \quad \text{div} v=...

What rotations are used as a reduction step in Kenig-Ruiz-Sogge's uniform Sobolev estimate?

I think I have understood the bulk of the paper [KRS], but one of the parts I cannot understand is when the authors reduce Theorem 2.1 (p.332) into Proposition 2.1 (p.335). I can understand all the ...

Has it been proved that weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations are non-unique, and does this prove that the Navier-Stokes are not valid?

This preprint claims that, for finite kinetic energy initial solutions, uniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations doesn't hold: https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.10033 What's the current ...
