Periodic solutions of fully nonlinear autonomous equations of Benjamin-Ono type (Q1946692): Difference between revisions

The paper deals with the autonomous equation of Benjamin-Ono type \[ u_t + \mathcal{H}u_{xx} + \partial_x (u^3) + \mathcal{N}_4(u) = 0, \] where \(\mathcal{H}\) is the periodic Hilbert transform. The nonlinearity satisfies reversibility conditions. A quasi-linear and fully nonlinear cases are considered. The author proves the existence of time-periodic small amplitude solutions of this equation, for frequencies in a measurable Cantor-like set of asymptotically full Lebesgue measure. The proof is based on the reduction of the linearized operator to constant coefficients up to a regularizing rest, by means of changes of variables and conjugation with simple linear pseudo-differential operators, Nash-Moser iteration scheme and Lapunov-Schmidt decomposition.
