Well-posedness and analyticity of the Cauchy problem for the multi-component Novikov equation

In this paper, we are concerned with the Cauchy problem of the multi-component Novikov equation. We establish the local well-posedness in a range of the Besov spaces by using Littlewood–Paley decomposition and transport equation theory. Moreover, with analytic initial data, we show that its solutions are analytic in both variables, globally in space and locally in time.
