Uniqueness properties of higher order dispersive equations (Q879380)

The author studies uniqueness properties of solutions of higher order nonlinear dispersive equations. The main result of this note is the following theorem. Let \(u_1, u_2 \in C([0,1]:H^6 \cap L^2(\left| x \right| ^2dx))\) with \(\partial_x u_1, \partial_x u_2 \in C([0,1]: L^2(\left| x \right| ^2dx))\) be solutions of \[ \partial_t u + \partial_x^5 u + 10u\partial_x^3 u + 20\partial_x u\partial_x^2 u + 30u^2\partial_x u = 0 \] in \((x,t) \in \text{ R}\times [0,1]\). If there exists an \(\varepsilon > 0\) such that \[ u_1 (\cdot,0) - u_2 (\cdot,0), \quad u_1 (\cdot,1) - u_2 (\cdot,1) \in H^2(e^{\lambda x_ + ^{4 / 3 + \varepsilon } }\,dx) \] for all \(\lambda > 0\), where \(x_+ = \max \{x;0\}\), then \(u_1 \equiv u_2\).
