A quantitative theory for the continuity equation
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Tome 34 (2017) no. 7, pp. 1837-1850.

In this work, we provide stability estimates for the continuity equation with Sobolev vector fields. The results are inferred from contraction estimates for certain logarithmic Kantorovich–Rubinstein distances. As a by-product, we obtain a new proof of uniqueness in the DiPerna–Lions setting. The novelty in the proof lies in the fact that it is not based on the theory of renormalized solutions.
