Recent progress in smoothing estimates for evolution equations

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: This paper is a survey article of results and arguments from several of authors' papers, and it describes a new approach to global smoothing problems for dispersive and non-dispersive evolution equations based on ideas of comparison principle and canonical transforms. For operators a(Dx) of order m satisfying the dispersiveness condition ablaa(xi)eq0, a range of smoothing estimates is established. Especially, time-global smoothing estimates for the operator a(Dx) with lower order terms are the benefit of our new method. These estimates are known to fail for general non-dispersive operators. For the case when the dispersiveness breaks, we suggest a modification of the smoothing estimate. It is equivalent to the usual estimate in the dispersive case and is also invariant under canonical transformations for the operator a(Dx). Moreover, it does continue to hold for a variety of non-dispersive operators a(Dx), where ablaa(xi) may become zero on some set. It is interesting that this method allows us to carry out a global microlocal reduction of equations to the translation invariance property of the Lebesgue measure.
