A note on ill-posedness for the KdV equation

Analysis of PDEs 2010-09-16 v2

Abstract

We prove that the solution-map u0u u_0 \mapsto u associated with the KdV equation cannot be continuously extended in Hs(R) H^s(\R) for s<1 s<-1 . The main ingredients are the well-known Kato smoothing effect for the mKdV equation as well as the Miura transform.
