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

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

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 L 2, up to a fractional logarithmic correction. As a corollary, we obtain the first local and global well-posedness results for initial free surfaces which are not Lipschitz.
