Analytic solution of an initial-value problem from Stokes flow with free boundary

Xuming Xie

Abstract:
We study an initial-value problem arising from Stokes flow with free boundary. If the initial data is analytic in disk $\mathcal{R}_r$ containing the unit disk, it is proved that unique solution, which is analytic in $\mathcal{R}_s$ for $s\in (1,r)$, exists locally in time.
