We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

On the Optimality of Velocity Averaging Lemmas
Camillo De Lellis and Michael Westdickenberg
Abstract
Studying weak solutions of Burgers' equation with finite entropy dissipation we show the sharpness of recent results of Jabin and Perthame on velocity averaging. Similar arguments give bounds on the regularity of asymptotic finite--energy states for some variational problems of Ginzburg--Landau type.
