The well-posedness of the gravitational equations of $f(R)$ gravity are studied in this paper. Three formulations of the $f(R)$ gravity with dynamical shifts (which are all based on the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formalism of the equations) are investigated. These three formulations are all proved to be strongly hyperbolic by pseudodifferential reduction. …
