Abstract

We are concerned with the uniqueness of weak solution to the spatially homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb interactions under the assumption that the solution is bounded in the space $L^\infty (0, T, L^p (\mathbb{R}^3))$ for some $p \gt 3/2$. The proof uses a weighted Poincaré–Sobolev inequality recently introduced in [11].
