Ill-posedness of a quasilinear wave equation in two dimensions for data in $H^{{7}/{4}}$

Abstract

We study the ill-posedness of a quasilinear wave equation. It was shown by Smith and Tataru in 2005 that for any s > 7 4 (or 11 4 in our situation), the equation is well-posed in Hs × Hs1. We show a sharpness result by exhibiting a quasilinear wave equation and an initial data such that the Cauchy problem is ill-posed for in H114(ln H)β × H74(ln H)β.
