Abstract

In this paper, we prove that for the 2D elastic wave equations, a physical system with multiple wave-speeds, its Cauchy problem fails to be locally well-posed in H114(R2)H^{\frac{11}{4}}(\mathbb{R}^2). The ill-posedness here is driven by instantaneous shock formation. In 2D Smith-Tataru showed that the Cauchy problem for a single quasilinear wave equation is locally well-posed in HsH^s with s>114s>\frac{11}{4}. Hence our H114H^{\frac{11}{4}} ill-posedness obtained here is a desired result. Our proof relies on combining a geometric method and an algebraic wave-decomposition approach, equipped with detailed analysis of the corresponding hyperbolic system.
