Hölder continuity for the Fokas-Olver-Rosenau-Qiao equation (Q484447)

The aim of this paper is to consider the Cauchy problem for the Fokas-Olver-Rosenau-Qiao equation \[ (1-\partial_x^2)u_t=\partial_x(u^2u_{xx}-u_x^2u_{xx}+uu_x^2-u^3), \] \[ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}\text{ or }\mathbb{T},\quad t\in\mathbb{R} \] in Sobolev spaces. It has been shown that this problem is well-posed for initial data \(u_0\in H^s\), \(s>5/2\), with its data-to-solution map \(u_0\mapsto u\) being continuous but not uniformly continuous. This work further investigates the continuity properties of the solution map and shows that it is Hölder continuous in the \(H^r\) topology when \(0\leq r<s\). The Hölder exponent is given explicitly and depends on both \(s\) and \(r\). In an appendix, the authors provide an outline of Novikov's approach to integrability for Camassa-Holm type equations with cubic nonlinearities.
