Abstract: This paper is a continuation of the paper emph{Low regularity Cauchy problem for the fifth-order modified KdV equations on mathbbT}. In this paper, we consider the fifth-order equation in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy as following: �egin{equation*} �egin{cases} partial_t u - partial_x^5 u + 30u^2partial_x u + 20 upartial_x u partial_x^3u + 10u partial_x^3 u = 0, hspace{1em} (t,x) in mathbb{R} imes mathbb{T}, u(0,x) = u_0(x) in H^s(mathbb{T}) end{cases}. end{equation*} We prove the local well-posedness of the fifth-order KdV equation for low regularity Sobolev initial data via the energy method. This paper follows almost same idea and argument as in the paper emph{Low regularity Cauchy problem for the fifth-order modified KdV equations on mathbbT}. Precisely, we use some conservation laws of the KdV Hamiltonians to observe the direction which the nonlinear solution evolves to. Besides, it is essential to use the short time Xs,b spaces to control the nonlinear terms due to emph{high imes low Rightarrow high} interaction component in the non-resonant nonlinear term. We also use the localized version of the modified energy in order to obtain the energy estimate. As an immediate result from a conservation law in the scaling sub-critical problem, we have the global well-posedness result in the energy space H2.


The purpose of this paper is to prove the local well-posedness of the fifth-order KdV equation for low regularity Sobolev initial data by the energy conservation laws. This is the second paper on the main theorem presented here, which states that a certain integrable fifth-order KdV on the torus has a unique solution. Therefore, in this paper, only proofs of nonlinear and energy estimates are given. The proof uses the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and Sobolev embedding.
