Flows of Non-Smooth Vector Fields and Degenerate Elliptic Equations With Applications to the Vlasov-Poisson and Semigeostrophic Systems /

The first part of the book is devoted to the transport equation for a given vector field, exploiting the lagrangian structure of solutions. It also treats the regularity of solutions of some degenerate elliptic equations, which appear in the eulerian counterpart of some transport models with congest...
