One of the most influential fundamental tools in harmonic analysis is the Riesz transforms. It maps L p functions to L p functions for any p∈(1,∞) which plays an important role in singular operators. As an application in fluid dynamics, the norm equivalence between‖∇ u‖ L p and‖ div u‖ L p+‖ curl u‖ L p is well established for p∈(1,∞). However, since Riesz operators sent bounded functions only to BMO functions, there is no hope to bound‖∇ u‖ L∞ in terms of‖ div u‖ L∞+‖ curl u‖ L∞. As pointed out by Hoff (2006)[11], this is the main obstacle to obtain uniqueness of weak solutions for isentropic compressible flows. Fortunately, based on new observations, see Lemma 2.2, we derive an exact estimate for‖∇ u‖ L∞≤(2+ 1/N)‖ div u‖ L∞ for any N-dimensional radially symmetric vector functions u. As a direct application, we give an affirmative answer to the open problem of uniqueness of some weak solutions to the compressible spherically symmetric flows in a bounded ball.
