Abstract
This paper is focused on a one-dimensional nonlinear variational wave equation which is the Euler-Lagrange equations of a variational principle arising in the theory of nematic liquid crystals and a few other physical contexts. We establish the local existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to its Cauchy problem with initial data given on the parabolic degenerating line.
