Construction of low regularity strong solutions to the viscous surface wave equations

Abstract

We construct in the paper the low-regularity strong solutions to the viscous surface wave equations in anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Here we use the Lagrangian structure of the system to homogenize the free boundary conditions, and establish a new iteration scheme on a known equilibrium domain to get the low-regularity strong solutions, in which no nonlinear compatibility conditions on the initial data are required.
