On the asymptotic dynamics for the $L^2$-supercritical gKDV equation
Abstract
We study the -supercritical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation (gKdV) with nonlinearities . While local well-posedness in is classical, the long-time dynamics in the supercritical regime remains largely unexplored beyond small data global solutions, the construction of multi-solitons for any power and self-similar blow-up near the critical power . We develop a unified description of the non-solitonic region for arbitrary solutions, both global and blowing up. Our analysis shows that the asymptotic and dynamics in this region is completely determined by the growth rate of the norm of the gradient (or, equivalently, the critical norm). In particular, we prove sharp far-field decay on both half-lines and establish normalized local vanishing along sequences of times, with improved estimates in the case of even-power nonlinearities. A key ingredient is a new virial method that compensates for the possible unboundedness of the norm by exploiting the conservation of mass and a careful localization of the nonlinear flux. This yields quantitative versions of decay phenomena previously known only in subcritical settings, and it applies without any smallness or proximity-to-soliton assumptions.
