The initial value problem for a class of nonlinear dispersive equations

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1450)

Abstract

We consider the initial value problem for a (generalized) equation which arises in the study of propagation of unidirectional nonlinear, dispersive waves. The aim is to study the local and global well-posedness of this problem in classical Sobolev spaces H s. For the associated linear problem sharp local and global smoothing effects are proven. It is shown how to use these effects to establish well-posedness result for the nonlinear problem.
