The concern of this paper is the Cauchy problem for the Prandtl equation. This problem is known to be well-posed for analytic data, or for data with monotonicity properties. We prove here that it is linearly ill-posed in Sobolev type…

We consider the Cauchy problem for strictly hyperbolic $m$-th order partial differential equations with coefficients low-regular in time and smooth in space. It is well-known that the problem is $L^2$ well-posed in the case of Lipschitz…
We consider the Cauchy problem for an equation of the form \partial_t+\partial_x^3)u=F(u,u_x,u_{xx}) where F is a polynomial with no constant or linear terms and no quadratic uu_{xx} term. For a polynomial nonlinearity with no quadratic…
In this paper we prove that the Cauchy problem for first-order quasi-linear systems of partial differential equations is ill-posed in Gevrey spaces, under the assumption of an initial ellipticity. The assumption bears on the principal…
We start with the classic result that the Cauchy problem for ideal compressible gas dynamics is locally well posed in time in the sense of Hadamard; there is a unique solution that depends continuously on initial data in Sobolev space $H^s$…
In this paper we study first order hyperbolic systems with multiple characteristics (weakly hyperbolic) and time-dependent analytic coefficients. The main question is when the Cauchy problem for such systems is well-posed in $C^{\infty}$…
We study the well-posedness of the initial value (Cauchy) problem of vacuum Einstein-aether theory. The latter is a Lorentz-violating gravitational theory consisting of General Relativity with a dynamical timelike 'aether' vector field,…
We show that hyperbolicity is a necessary condition for the well posedness of the noncharacteristic Cauchy problem for nonlinear partial differential equations. We give conditions on the initial data which are necessary for the existence of…
We consider the Cauchy problem of the KdV-type equation \[ \partial_t u + \frac{1}{3} \partial_x^3 u = c_1 u \partial_x^2u + c_2 (\partial_x u)^2, \quad u(0)=u_0. \] Pilod (2008) showed that the flow map of this Cauchy problem fails to be…

We consider the Cauchy problem for one-dimensional dispersive equations with a general nonlinearity in the periodic setting. Our main hypotheses are both that the dispersive operator behaves for high frequencies as a Fourier multiplier by $…
The Cauchy problem for the 1-dimensional Zakharov system is shown to be globally well-posed for large data which not necessarily have finite energy. The proof combines the local well-posedness result of Ginibre, Tsutsumi, Velo and a general…
