A nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky   equation in a quarter plane
  We study the initial boundary value problem for one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. Through the analysis of the boundary integral operator, and applying the known results on the Cauchy problem, we obtain both the local well-posedness and the global well-posedness for the nonhomogeneous initial boundary value problem. It is shown that the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is well-posed in Sobolev space $C([0,T]; H^s (R^+)) \bigcap L^2(0,T; H^{s+2}(R^+))$ for $s>-2$.
