$2D$ vorticity Euler equations: Superposition solutions and nonlinear Markov processes

Abstract

In this note we contribute two results to the theory of the $2D$ Euler equations in vorticity form on the full plane. First, we establish a generalized Lagrangian representation of weak (in general measure-valued) solutions, which includes and extends classical results on the Lagrangianity of weak solutions. Second, we construct nonlinear Markov processes which are uniquely determined by a selection of weak solutions from initial data in $L^1\cap L^p$, $p\ge 2$, and related spaces such as the classical and uniformly localized Yudovich space. It is well-known that for $p<\infty$ weak solutions are in general not unique, which renders a suitable selection nontrivial.
