Proving local well-posedness for quasilinear problems in pdes presents a number of difficulties, some of which are universal and others of which are more problem specific. While a common standard, going back to Hadamard, has existed for a long time, there are by now both many variations and many misconceptions in the subject. The aim of these notes is to collect a number of both classical and more recent ideas in this direction, and to assemble them into a cohesive road map that can be then adapted to the readers problem of choice.
In this paper we consider the hyperbolic-elliptic Ishimori initial-value problem. We prove that such system is locally well-posed for small data in $H^{s}$ level space, for $s> 3/2$. The new ingredient is that we develop the methods of Ionescu and Kenig cite{IK} and cite{IK2} to approach the problem in a perturbative way.
A reaction-diffusion equation with power nonlinearity formulated either on the half-line or on the finite interval with nonzero boundary conditions is shown to be locally well-posed in the sense of Hadamard for data in Sobolev spaces. The result is established via a contraction mapping argument, taking advantage of a novel approach that utilizes the formula produced by the unified transform method of Fokas for the forced linear heat equation to obtain linear estimates analogous to those previously derived for the nonlinear Schrodinger, Korteweg-de Vries and good Boussinesq equations. Thus, the present work extends the recently introduced unified transform method approach to well-posedness from dispersive equations to diffusive ones.
Considered herein is a multi-component Novikov equation, which admits bi-Hamiltonian structure, infinitely many conserved quantities and peaked solutions. In this paper, we deduce two blow-up criteria for this system and global existence for some two-component case in $H^s$. Finally we verify that the system possesses peakons and periodic peakons.
In this paper, we are concerned with the motion of electrically conducting fluid governed by the two-dimensional non-isentropic viscous compressible MHD system on the half plane, with no-slip condition for velocity field, perfect conducting condition for magnetic field and Dirichlet boundary condition for temperature on the boundary. When the viscosity, heat conductivity and magnetic diffusivity coefficients tend to zero in the same rate, there is a boundary layer that is described by a Prandtl-type system. By applying a coordinate transformation in terms of stream function as motivated by the recent work cite{liu2016mhdboundarylayer} on the incompressible MHD system, under the non-degeneracy condition on the tangential magnetic field, we obtain the local-in-time well-posedness of the boundary layer system in weighted Sobolev spaces.
In this paper we prove the local well-posedness (LWP) for the 3D compressible Euler equations describing the motion of a liquid in an unbounded initial domain with moving boundary. The liquid is under the influence of gravity but without surface tension, and it is not assumed to be irrotational. We apply the tangential smoothing method introduced in [9,10] to construct the approximation system with energy estimates uniform in the smooth parameter. It should be emphasized that, when doing the nonlinear a priori estimates, we need neither the higher order wave equation of the pressure and delicate elliptic estimates, nor the higher regularity on the flow-map or initial vorticity. Instead, we adapt the Alinhacs good unknowns to the estimates of full spatial derivatives.
