On the Cauchy problem for the Muskat equation with non-Lipschitz initial data

Analysis of PDEs 2020-09-10 v1

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the Cauchy problem for the Muskat equation. We consider initial data belonging to the critical Sobolev space of functions with three-half derivative in L2L^2, up to a fractional logarithmic correction. As a corollary, we obtain the first local and global well-posedness results for initial free surface which are not Lipschitz.
