Well-posedness in Sobolev spaces for semi-linear 3-evolution equations (Q467154): Difference between revisions

Let \(D=-i\partial\). Consider the semilinear Cauchy problem \[ (D_t+A(t,x,u,D_x))u=f(t,x),\,\,\,\,(t,x)\in[0,T]\times\mathbb{R},\quad u(0,x)=u_0(x),\,\,x\in\mathbb{R}, \] where \(A\) is a third order differential operator of the form (\(w\in\mathbb{C}\)) \[ A(t,x,w,D_x)=a_3(t)D_x^3+a_2(t,x,w)D_x^2+a_1(t,x,w)D_x+a_0(t,x,w), \] where \(a_3\) is \textit{real}, continuous and bounded from below by a positive constant, and the other coefficients \(a_2\) to \(a_0\) are complex valued, continuous in \(t\) and smooth in \((x,w)\), and such that as functions of \(x\) are bounded on \(\mathbb{R}\) along with the derivatives of all orders. Under suitable decay assumptions as \(|x|\to+\infty\) on Re\((a_2)\), Im\((a_2)\), \(\partial_w a_2\), \(\partial_x\)Re\((a_2)\) and Im\((a_1)\) the authors prove that the above Cauchy problem is locally in time \(H^\infty\) well-posed.
