We continue our study on the global solution to the two-dimensional Prandtl's system for unsteady boundary layers in the class considered by Oleinik provided that the pressure is favorable. First, by using a different method from [13], we…

In the paper, we study the Prandtl system with initial data admitting non-degenerate critical points. For any index $\sigma\in[3/2, 2],$ we obtain the local in time well-posedness in the space of Gevrey class $G^\sigma$ in the tangential…

We revisit the local well-posedness theory of nonlinear Schr\"odinger and wave equations in Sobolev spaces $H^s$ and $\dot{H}^s$, $0< s\leq 1$. The theory has been well established over the past few decades under Sobolev initial data…
