Global well-posedness and limit behavior for the modified finite-depth-fluid equation

Publication date 13 September 2008

Abstract: Considering the Cauchy problem for the modified finite-depth-fluid equation

p a r t i a l_{t} u - G_{d} e l t a (p a r t i a l_{x}^{2} u) m p u^{2} u_{x} = 0, u (0) = u_{0}

, where

G_{d} e l t a f = - i f t^{- 1} [c o t h (2 p i d e l t a x i) - f r a c 1 2 p i d e l t a x i] f t f

,

d e l t a g e s 1

, and

u

is a real-valued function, we show that it is uniformly globally well-posed if

u_{0} i n H^{s} (s g e q 1 / 2)

with

o r m {u_{0}}_{L^{2}}

sufficiently small for all

d e l t a g e s 1

. Our result is sharp in the sense that the solution map fails to be

C^{3}

in

H^{s} (s < 1 / 2)

. Moreover, we prove that for any

T > 0

, its solution converges in

C ([0, T]; H^{s})

to that of the modified Benjamin-Ono equation if

d e l t a

tends to

+ i n f t y

.
