An advantage of this formulation is that the nonlinearities appear now as a derivative. This aspect and abstract quasilinear parabolic theory are then exploited to establish a local well-posedness result in all subcritical Sobolev spaces $W^s_p(\\mathbb{R})$ with $p\\in(1,\\infty)$ and $s\\in (1+1/p,2)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-25T10:52:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R37", "35K59", "35K93", "35Q35", "42B20" ], "keywords": [ "surface tension", "muskat problem", "abstract quasilinear parabolic theory", "reformulation", "related singular integral operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
