On continuation properties after blow-up time for \(L^2\)-critical gKdV equations (Q1998649)

Summary: In this paper, we consider a blow-up solution \(u(t)\) (close to the soliton manifold) to the \(L^2\)-critical gKdV equation \(\partial_tu+(u_{xx}+u^5)_x=0\), with finite blow-up time \(T < +\infty \). We expect to construct a natural extension of \(u(t)\) after the blow-up time. To do this, we consider the solution \(u_{\gamma}(t)\) to the saturated \(L^2\)-critical gKdV equation \(\partial_tu+(u_{xx}+u^5-\gamma u|u|^{q-1})_x=0\) with the same initial data, where \(\gamma > 0\) and \(q > 5\). A standard argument shows that \(u_{\gamma}(t)\) is always global in time. Moreover, for all \(t < T, u_{\gamma}(t)\) converges to \(u(t)\) in \(H^1\) as \(\gamma\rightarrow0\). We prove in this paper that for all \(t\geq T, u_{\gamma}(t)\rightarrow v(t)\) as \(\gamma\rightarrow0\), in a certain sense. This limiting function \(v(t)\) is a weak solution to the unperturbed \(L^2\)-critical gKdV equations, hence can be viewed as a natural extension of \(u(t)\) after the blow-up time.
