Review text

This paper deals with ``the problem of unsteady waves on the surface of an infinitely deep heavy incompressible ideal fluid in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\). The author obtains a system (S) of three equations ((4.4)--(4.6)), whose unknowns are the height \(h\) of the free surface, the vertical component \(v\) and the horizontal component \(u\) of the velocity, and that includes the initial conditions \(h=h_o\) and \(v=v_o\), for \(t=0\). He assumes that \(n\geq 2, s>1+\frac{n}{2},\) and \(h_o\in H^{s+\frac{1}{2}},v_o\in H^s.\) He proves the existence of \(T>0\) such that, for time \(t<T\), (S) is uniquely solvable with \(h(t)\in H^{s+\frac{1}{2}}\) and \(v(t),u(t) \in H^s\) (Theorem 4.1).
