An optimal decay estimate for the linearized water wave equation in 2D

Abstract: We obtain a decay estimate for solutions to the linear dispersive equation

i u_{t} - (- D e l t a)^{1 / 4} u = 0

for

(t, x) i n m a t h b b R i m e s m a t h b b R

. This corresponds to a factorization of the linearized water wave equation

u_{t t} + (- D e l t a)^{1 / 2} u = 0

. In particular, by making use of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and stationary phase estimates, we obtain decay of order

| t |^{- 1 / 2}

for solutions corresponding to data

u (0) = v a r p h i

, assuming only bounds on

l V e r t v a r p h i V e r t_{H_{x}^{1} (m a t h b b R)}

and

l V e r t x p a r t i a l_{x} v a r p h i V e r t_{L_{x}^{2} (m a t h b b R)}

. As another application of these ideas, we give an extension to equations of the form

i u_{t} - (- D e l t a)^{a l p h a / 2} u = 0

for a wider range of

a l p h a

.
