Abstract

We show the local in time well-posedness of the Prandtl equation for data with Gevrey 22 regularity in xx and H1H^1 regularity in yy. The main novelty of our result is that we do not make any assumption on the structure of the initial data: no monotonicity or hypothesis on the critical points. Moreover, our general result is optimal in terms of regularity, in view of the ill-posedness result of [9].
