Transport equations for Osgood velocity fields

We consider the transport equation with a velocity field satisfying the Osgood condition. The weak formulation is not meaningful in the usual Lebesgue sense, meaning that the usual DiPerna–Lions treatment of the problem is not applicable {(in particular, the divergence of the velocity might be unbounded)}. Instead, we use Riemann–Stieltjes integration to interpret the weak formulation, leading to a well-posedness theory in regimes not covered by existing works. The most general results are for the one-dimensional problem, with generalisations to multiple dimensions in the particular case of log-Lipschitz velocities.
