For two solutions with the same initial datum, let . Their uniform compact support on puts and in one compact region of phase space. Smoothness there implies that is finite and continuously differentiable, by differentiation under the integral sign. The transport equation and integration by parts in yieldThere is no boundary contribution because of compact support, and . Since , almost everywhere and then everywhere by continuity. The solution is unique in . The same calculation gives Lp conservation for incompressible transport at .
