We investigate local well-posedness of the initial value problem for Lovelock and Horndeski theories of gravity. A necessary condition for local well-posedness is strong hyperbolicity of the equations of motion. Even weak hyperbolicity can…

The aim of this paper is to investigate well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the degenerate Zakharov system. Local well-posedness holds for anisotropic Sobolev data by applying $U^2, V^2$ type spaces. We give the Schr\"odinger initial…

Inspired by a pioneer work of Andersson-Kapitanski \cite{AK}, we prove the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of incompressible neo-Hookean equations if the initial deformation and velocity belong to $H^{s+1}(\mathbb{R}^n) \times…

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…

Proving local well-posedness for quasilinear problems in pde's 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…
