Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for the improved Boussinesq equation uttuxxuxxtt(u2)xx=0 u_{tt}-u_{xx}-u_{xxtt}-(u^2)_{xx}=0 on the real line with spatially quasi-periodic initial data. For a non-resonant frequency vector ωRν\omega\in\mathbb R^\nu, we prove local existence and uniqueness of classical spatially quasi-periodic solutions with the same frequency vector ω\omega in two Fourier-side classes. First, for exponentially decaying initial Fourier coefficients, we obtain a spatially quasi-periodic solution whose Fourier coefficients remain exponentially decaying on an explicit time interval. Second, for initial Fourier coefficients c(n)c(n) and d(n)d(n) satisfying the polynomial decay c(n)+d(n)(1+n)r,  r>ν+2, |c(n)|+|d(n)|\lesssim (1+|n|)^{-r}, \; r>\nu+2, we prove that the corresponding spatially quasi-periodic solution preserves the same polynomial decay rate as the initial data. We also extend these results to the nonlinearity upu^p with integer p3p \geq 3.
