On the solutions of a model equation for shallow water waves of moderate amplitude (Q2434670)

This paper studies the initial value problem for the equation \[ \eta_{t}+\eta_{x}+\frac{3}{2}\varepsilon\eta\eta_{x}-\frac{3}{8}\varepsilon^{2}\eta^{2}\eta_{x} +\frac{3}{16}\varepsilon^{3}\eta^{3}\eta_{x}+\mu(\alpha\eta_{xxx}+\beta\eta_{xxt}) =\varepsilon\mu(\gamma\eta\eta_{xxx}+\delta\eta_{x}\eta_{xx}). \] This equation was introduced by Constantin and Lannes in a study of the Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations [\textit{A. Constantin} and \textit{D. Lannes}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 192, No. 1, 165--186 (2009; Zbl 1169.76010)]. In the present work, the authors show that the inital value problem is well posed, locally in time, with initial data in Besov spaces. Furthermore, when the initial data is analytic, it is shown that the solution is analytic in space and time.
