Well-posedness of the Initial Value Problem for the Ostrovsky–Hunter Equation with Spatially Dependent Flux
In this paper we study the Ostrovsky–Hunter equation for the case where the flux function f(x, u) may depend on the spatial variable with certain smoothness. Our main results are that if the flux function is smoo...
