contents In their seminal work, Bourgain and Li establish strong ill-posedness of the 2D Euler equations for initial velocity in the critical Sobolev space $H^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$. In this work, we extend those results by demonstrating strong ill-posedness in logarithmically regularized spaces which are strictly contained in $H^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ and which contain $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for all $s>2$. These spaces are constructed via application of a fractional logarithmic derivative to the critical Sobolev norm. We show that if the power $α$ of the logarithmic derivative satisfies $α\leq 1/2$, then the 2D Euler equations are strongly ill-posed.
