On nonlinear dispersive equations
The author considers the Rosenau equation \[ u_t+u_{xxxxt}+\Phi (u)_x=0 \text{ for } x\in \mathbb{R},\;t>0, \qquad u(x,0)=f(x) \text{ for } x\in \mathbb{R}, \tag{1} \] and, more generally, \[ u_t+u_{xxxxt}+\epsilon u_{xxxx} +\Phi (u)_x=0 \text{ for } x\in \mathbb{R},\;t>0, \qquad u(x,0)=f(x) \text{ for } x\in \mathbb{R}.\tag{2} \] The existence and a uniqueness of solution to (1) is proved under the assumptions \(\Phi \in \mathcal C^2(\mathbb{R}), f\in H_0^4(\mathbb{R})\). Now, he shows that the initial-value problem (3) has a unique solution (considered as an abstract function of \(t\) with values in the Sobolev space \(H^s(\mathbb{R})\)) whenever \(f\) lies in \(H^s\), \(s\geq 2\); moreover, the time derivatives \(\partial_t^k u\) of this solution are continuous functions of \(t\) with values in \(H^s(\mathbb{R})\), as well.
