An endpoint case of the renormalization property for therelativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system

Abstract

Recently C. Bardos et al. presented in their fine paper \cite{Bardos} a proof of an Onsager type conjecture on renormalization property and the entropy conservation laws for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system. Particularly, authors proved that if the distribution function $u\in L^{\infty }(0,T;W^{\alpha ,p}({\mathbb{R}}^6))$ and the electromagnetic field $E,B\in L^{\infty }(0,T;W^{\beta ,q}({\mathbb{R}}^3))$, with $\alpha ,\beta \in (0,1)$ such that $\alpha \beta +\beta +3\alpha -1>0$ and $1/p+1/q\le 1$, then the renormalization property and entropy conservation laws hold. To determine a complete proof of this work, in the present paper we improve their results under a weaker regularity assumptions for weak solution to the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell equations. More precisely, we show that under the similar hypotheses, the renormalization property and entropy conservation laws for the weak solution to the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell's system even hold for the end point case $\alpha \beta +\beta +3\alpha -1=0$. Our proof is based on the better estimations on regularization operators.
