Cauchy problem for the fifth order Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KPII) equation (Q2464573)

This paper concerns the Cauchy problem for the fifth order Kadomtsev-Petviashvili eqaution in \(\mathbb{R}^2\): \(\partial_t u-\partial^5_x u+\partial^{-1}_x \partial^2_y u+u\partial_x u=0\), \(u(x,y,0)=u_0(x,y),\) for initial data \(u_0\) in anisotropic Sobolev spaces of negative indices. The authors prove that the Cauchy problem is locally well-posed in \(H^{s_1,s_2}(\mathbb{R}^2)\) with \(s_1>-\frac{5}{4}\) and \(s_2>0\), and globally well-posed in \(H^{s,0}(\mathbb{R}^2)\) with \(s_1>-\frac{4}{7}\). It improves the corresponding result in [\textit{J. C. Saut} and \textit{N. Tzvetkov}, J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 79, No. 4, 307--338 (2000; Zbl 0961.35137)].
