Global existence for a forced dispersive dissipative equation via the I-method (Q1016667)

The author studies the dissipative-dispersive Cauchy problem associated with the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation with low regularity forcing term. Such type of the problem is of paramount importance in the study of the long waves in the ocean. By treating the forcing term equal to zero, the author establishes the well-posedness of the problem and referred it as I-method. The author also studies the global well-posedess of the problem on a Sobolev space of negative index for a low regularity space-time external force.
