Low Regularity for the Higher Order Nonlinear Dispersive Equation in Sobolev Spaces of Negative Index.

In this paper, we investigate the initial value problem(IVP henceforth) associated with the higher order nonlinear dispersive equation given in Jones et al. (Int J Math Math Sci 24:371–377, 2000): ∂ t u + α ∂ x 7 u + β ∂ x 5 u + γ ∂ x 3 u + μ ∂ x u + λ u ∂ x u = 0 , x ∈ R , t ∈ R , u (x , 0) = u 0 (x) , x ∈ R with the initial data in the Sobolev space H s (R). Benefited from the ideas of Huo and Jia (Z Angew Math Phys 59:634–646, 2008), Zhang et al. (Acta Math Sci 37B(2):385–394, 2017) and Zhang and Huang (Math Methods Appl Sci 39(10):2488–2513, 2016) that is, using Fourier restriction norm method, Tao's [k, Z]-multiplier method and the contraction mapping principle, we prove that IVP is locally well-posed for the initial data u 0 ∈ H s (R) with s ≥ - 5 8 . Moreover, based on the local well-posedness and conservation law, we establish the global well-posedness for the initial data u 0 ∈ H s (R) with s = 0 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
