Local well-posedness for the higher-order generalized KdV type equation with low-degree of nonlinearity

This paper is concerned with the local well-posedness for the higher-order generalized KdV type equation with low-degree of nonlinearity. The equation arises as a non-integrable and lower nonlinearity version of the higher-order KdV equation. As for the lower nonlinearity model of the KdV equation, Linares, the author and Ponce [11] prove the local well-posedness under a non-degenerate condition introduced by Cazenave and Naumkin [1]. In this paper, it turns out that the well-posedness result can be extended into the higher-order equation. We also give a lower bound for the lifespan of the solution. The lifespan depends on two quantities determined by the initial data.
