A conditional well-posedness result for the bidirectional Whitham equation

Abstract: We consider the initial-value problem for the bidirectional Whitham equation, a system which combines the full two-way dispersion relation from the incompressible Euler equations with a canonical shallow-water nonlinearity. We prove local well-posedness in classical Sobolev spaces in the localised as well as the periodic case, using a square-root type transformation to symmetrise the system. The existence theory requires a non-vanishing surface elevation, indicating that the problem is ill-posed for more general initial data.
