We proved the local well-posedness for the power-type nonlinear semi-relativistic or half-wave equation (NLHW) in Sobolev spaces. Our proofs are mainly based on the contraction mapping argument using Strichartz estimates. We also apply the technique of Christ-Colliander-Tao in [6] to prove the ill-posedness for the (NLHW) in a certain range of the super-critical case.

Keywords: Nonlinear half-wave equation, local well-posedness, Strichartz estimates, small data scattering, ill-posedness.
