Well-posedness of two-dimensional hydroelastic waves with mass (Q509745)

The authors discuss well-posedness of the inverse two-dimensional problem of hydroelastic waves in two fluids divided by an unknown periodic curve \(\gamma\). An integral equation to estimate the evolution equation for \(\gamma\) is investigated. The authors demonstrate that in some cases the integral equation is solvable. The proof uses geometric dependent variables, a normalized arclength parameterization, and a small-scale decomposition in the evolution equations.
