Global well-posedness for the Benjamin equation in low regularity

Analysis of PDEs 2009-10-26 v1

Abstract

In this paper we consider the initial value problem of the Benjamin equation tu+ν(˝x2u)+μx3u+xu2=0, \partial_{t}u+\nu \H(\partial^2_xu) +\mu\partial_{x}^{3}u+\partial_xu^2=0, where u:R×[0,T]Ru:\R\times [0,T]\mapsto \R, and the constants ν,μR,μ0\nu,\mu\in \R,\mu\neq0. We use the I-method to show that it is globally well-posed in Sobolev spaces Hs(R)H^s(\R) for s>3/4s>-3/4. Moreover, we use some argument to obtain a good estimative for the lifetime of the local solution, and employ some multiplier decomposition argument to construct the almost conserved quantities.
