More precisely, we show that initial data in the Schwartz class $\mathcal{S}$ that are arbitrarily small in $\dot{B}^{-1, \infty}_{\infty}$ can produce solutions arbitrarily large in $\dot{B}^{-1, \infty}_{\infty}$ after an arbitrarily short time. Such a result implies that the solution map itself is discontinuous in $\dot{B}^{-1, \infty}_{\infty}$ at the origin.16 pages, no figuresAnalysis of PDEstext
