Existence of solutions to many kinds of PDEs can be proved by using a fixed point argument or an iterative argument in some Banach space. This usually yields uniqueness in the same Banach space where the fixed point is performed. We give here two methods to prove uniqueness in a more natural class. The first one is based on proving some estimates in a less regular space. The second one is based on a duality argument. In this paper, we present some results obtained in collaboration with Pierre-Louis Lions, with Kenji Nakanishi and with Fabrice Planchon.
