On the well-posedness of a 2D nonlinear and nonlocal system arising from the dislocation dynamics

Abstract

In this paper we consider a 2D nonlinear and nonlocal model describing the dynamics of the dislocation densities. We prove the local well-posedness of strong solution to this system in the suitable functional framework, and we show the global well-posedness for some dissipative cases by the method of nonlocal maximum principle.
