Global well-posedness of the BCL system with viscosity

Abstract

The BCL system, a kind of equations governing the motion of the free surface of water waves in ℝ³, is studied. Some results on the global existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions to such system with small initial data are obtained.

Keywords
