Oct 11, 2021 at 7:56 comment added Daniele Tampieri Daniel, just for the sake of correctness, It would be advisable to add a remark to point out that you have already asked the same question several days ago and no one has answered.
Oct 11, 2021 at 1:59 comment added Willie Wong Ignoring convergence issues, just thinking about the solvability of the power series expansion near the origin, it seems to me you need to also prescribe at least $\partial_y \alpha (x,0)$ and $\partial_x \beta(0,y)$ to have a chance of guaranteeing that the solution you write down is unique.
Oct 11, 2021 at 1:51 comment added Willie Wong Are you sure you are giving enough initial data? For a system like this, usually local existence and uniqueness is independent of lower order perturbations. So consider the simplified equation where $K = 0$. Suppose $\alpha(x,0) = a_0$ and $\beta(0,y) = b_0$, then any pair of linear functions of the form $\alpha(x,y) = a_0 + \gamma y$ and $\beta(x,y) = \beta_0 + \delta x$ would solve the system. I expect similar counter examples can be found after restoring $K > 0$.
Oct 11, 2021 at 1:44 comment added Deane Yang It was just a hopeful but not really serious question. The noncharacteristic initial value problem is well-posed, and there exists a unique solution in a neighborhood of the line. It also seems possible that if the initial data is sufficiently small, a globl solution exists.
Oct 10, 2021 at 22:25 comment added Daniel Castro @DeaneYang Thank you. Non-characteristic lines are not our primary focus, but any suggestions even in that case would be helpful.
Oct 10, 2021 at 22:20 comment added Deane Yang Any chance you’d be interested in setting the initial data along the line $y=x$ or any other line but the axes?
