Uniqueness of the solution of a PDE…2
$begingroup$
How can I prove the uniqueness in $[0, +infty)times (0,1)$ of the solution of a PDE as the following:
$frac{partial}{partial t}v(t,x)=frac{partial}{partial x}Big((x-frac{1}{2})v(t,x)Big)$
$v(0,x)=g(x)$,
where $gin C^infty (mathbb R)$ with support in the interval $(0,1)$.

@user268193 Uniqueness follows from the fact that the characteristics do not intersect and are in a one-to-one correspondence with the points of the parabolic boundary. The characteristics of your equation satisfy the ODE
$$
dt=dx/(1/2-x)
$$
which are exponential curves approaching $x=1/2$ as $ttoinfty$ and also $x=1/2$ itself. These curves do not intersect and, given any point $(t,x)in[(0,infty)times(0,1)$, you can connect it along a characteristic to a unique point on either part of your boundary $(t,x)in{0}times[0,1]$ or $(0,infty)times{0}$ or $(0,infty)times{1}$. By uniqueness for ODEs along characteristics, the values of $u(t,x)$ are thus uniquely determined by the initial and boundary data.
