Construction of solutions to the 3D Euler equations with initial data in $H^\beta$ for $\beta>0$

Abstract

In this paper, we use the method of convex integration to construct infinitely many distributional solutions in $H^{\beta}$ for $0<\beta\ll1$ to the initial value problem for the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations. We show that if the initial data has any small fractional derivative in $L^2$, then we can construct solutions with some regularity, so that the corresponding $L^2$ energy is continuous in time. This is distinct from the $L^2$ existence result of E. Wiedemann, Ann. Inst. Henri Poincar\'e, Anal. Non Lin\'eaire 28, No. 5, 727--730 (2011; Zbl 1228.35172), where the energy is discontinuous at $0$.
