Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying the generalized Ostrovsky equation \begin{eqnarray*} u_{t}-\beta\partial_{x}^{3}u-\gamma\partial_{x}^{-1}u+\frac{1}{k+1}(u^{k+1})_{x}=0,k\geq5 \end{eqnarray*} with β<0,γ>0\beta<0,\gamma>0. Firstly, by using the density theorem in the mixed Lebesgue spaces, we prove that Xs,bC(R;Hs(R))C(R;Lx)X_{s,b}\hookrightarrow C(\mathbb{R};H^{s}(\mathbb{R})) \hookrightarrow C(\mathbb{R};L_{x}^{\infty}) with s>1/2,b>1/2.s>1/2,b>1/2. Secondly, we present a new proof of the convergence problem of linear Ostrovsky equation, which is slightly different from the proof of Theorem 1.1 (Convergence problem of Ostrovsky equation with rough data and random data, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 71(2022), 1897-1921.) Thirdly, we investigate the pointwise convergence problem of the generalized Ostrovsky equation. Fourthly, for the solution uu to the Cauchy problem for the generalized Ostrovsky equation, we prove that u=u1+u2,t[δ,δ]u=u_{1}+u_{2},t\in[-\delta,\delta], and u2u_{2} possesses better regularity than uu, where u1u_{1} is the linear part of uu and u2u_{2} is the nonlinear integral part. Fifthly, we investigate the nonlinear smoothing and the uniform convergence problem of the generalized Ostrovsky equation. Finally, when data ff belongs to Hs(R)(s>122k+1,k6)H^{s}(\mathbb{R})(s>\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{k+1},k\geq6) and limxf=0\lim\limits_{|x|\rightarrow{\infty}}f=0 and Fx(U(t)f)L1(R),\mathscr{F}_{x}(U(t)f)\in L^{1}(\mathbb{R}), for t[δ,δ],t\in [-\delta,\delta], we prove that limxu=0\lim\limits_{|x|\rightarrow{\infty}}u=0. The key ingredients are high-low frequency technique, maximal function estimates related to low frequency and some Strichartz estimates which can be proved with the aid of the Stein complex interpolation Theorem.
