Abstract: We consider the Cauchy problem �egin{align*} partial_t u+upartial_x u+L(partial_x u) &=0, \ u(0,x)=u_0(x) end{align*} on the torus and on the real line for a class of Fourier multiplier operators L, and prove that the solution map u0mapstou(t) is not uniformly continuous in Hs(mathbbT) or Hs(mathbbR) for s>frac32. Under certain assumptions, the result also hold for s>0. The class of equations considered includes in particular the Whitham equation and fractional Korteweg-de Vries equations and we show that, in general, the flow map cannot be uniformly continuous if the dispersion of L is weaker than that of the KdV operator. The result is proved by constructing two sequences of solutions converging to the same limit at the initial time, while the distance at a later time is bounded below by a positive constant.
