On well-posedness for the Benjamin-Ono equation

Analysis of PDEs 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We prove existence of solutions for the Benjamin-Ono equation with data in Hs(R)H^s(\R), s>0s>0. Thanks to conservation laws, this yields global solutions for H12(R)H^\frac 1 2(\R) data, which is the natural ``finite energy'' class. Moreover, inconditional uniqueness is obtained in Lt(H12(R))L^\infty_t(H^\frac 1 2(\R)), which includes weak solutions, while for s>320s>\frac 3 {20}, uniqueness holds in a natural space which includes the obtained solutions.

Comments

Important changes. We improved both existence and uniqueness results. In particular, uniqueness holds in the natural $L^\infty_t; H^{1/2}_x$ energy space
