Convergence of the Ostrovsky equation to the Ostrovsky-Hunter one (Q2440045)

The aim of this paper is to consider the Ostrovsky equation, \[ \partial_x\left(\partial_tu+u\partial_xu-\beta\partial^3_{xxx}u\right)=\gamma u,\quad (\beta,\gamma\in\mathbb{R}) \] which contains nonlinear dispersive effects. This equation generalizes the Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation (that corresponds to \(\gamma=0\)) by the additional term induced by the Coriolis force. The authors prove that as the diffusion parameter tend to zero, the solutions of the dispersive equation converge to discontinuous weak solutions of the Ostrovsky-Hunter equation. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the compensated compactness method in the \(L^p\) setting.
