TY - JOUR A1 - Stepanenko, Victor A1 - Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich T1 - The Cauchy problem for Chaplygin's system N2 - We discuss the Cauchy problem for the so-called Chaplygin system which often appears in gas, aero- and hydrodynamics. This system can be thought of as a nonlinear analogue of the Cauchy-Riemann system in the plane. We pose Cauchy data on a part of the boundary and apply variational approach to construct a solution to this ill-posed problem. The problem actually gives insight to fundamental questions related to instable problems for nonlinear equations.
