We provide a set of conditions that is necessary and sufficient for the $L^{2}$-wellposedness of the Cauchy problem for fifth and sixth order variable-coefficient linear dispersive equations. The necessity of these conditions had been…

We show that the $ L^2({\mathbb R}) $-unconditional well-posedness, that is well-known for the KdV equation, is shared by KdV type equations with weaker dispersion. This is despite the difference in the nature of these equations, which are…

We prove the unconditional well-posedness result for fifth order modified KdV type equations in $H^s(\mathbb{T})$ when $s \geq 3/2$, which includes non-integrable cases. By the conservation laws, we also obtain the global well-posedness…

This work is concerned about the Cauchy problem for the following generalized KdV- Burgers equation \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} \partial_tu+\partial_x^3u+L_pu+u\partial_xu=0, u(0,\,x)=u_0(x). \end{array} \right.…

We consider the fifth order KdV type equations and prove the unconditional well-posedness in $H^s(\mathbb{T})$ for $s \ge 1$. It is optimal in the sense that the nonlinear terms can not be defined in the space-time distribution framework…

These notes are devoted to the notion of well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for nonlinear dispersive equations. We present recent methods for proving ill-posedness type results for dispersive PDE's. The common feature in the analysis is…

We complete the known results on the local Cauchy problem in Sobolev spaces for the KdV-Burgers equation by proving that this equation is well-posed in $ H^{-1}(\R) $ with a solution-map that is analytic from $H^{-1}(\R) $ to…

In this paper we obtain global well-posedness in low order Sobolev spaces of higher order KdV type equations with dissipation. The result is optimal in the sense that the flow-map is not twice continuously differentiable in rougher spaces.…

In this paper, KdV-type equations with time- and space-dependent coefficients are considered. Assuming that the dispersion coefficient in front of $u_{xxx}$ is positive and uniformly bounded away from the origin and that a primitive…

This work's major intention is the investigation of the well-posedness of certain cross-diffusion equations in the class of bounded functions. More precisely, we show existence, uniqueness and stability of bounded weak solutions under the…

This article represents a first step towards understanding the well-posedness for the dispersive Hunter-Saxton equation. This problem arises in the study of nematic liquid crystals, and although the equation has formal similarities with the…

We study the complex-valued modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV) on the circle. We first consider the real-valued setting and show global well-posedness of the (usual) renormalized mKdV equation in the Fourier-Lebesgue spaces. In the…

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…

In this paper we study local well-posedness in the energy space for a family of dispersive equations that can be seen as dispersive ``interpolations'' between the KdV and the Benjamin-Ono equation.

We establish the local well-posedness of the generalized Benjamin-Ono equation $\partial_tu+\mathcal{H}\partial_x^2u\pm u^k\partial_xu=0$ in $H^s(\R)$, $s>1/2-1/k$ for $k\geq 12$ and without smallness assumption on the initial data. The…

A linear stochastic vector advection equation is considered. The equation may model a passive magnetic field in a random fluid. The driving velocity field is a integrable to a certain power and the noise is infinite dimensional. We prove…

A choice of first-order variables for the characteristic problem of the linearized Einstein equations is found which casts the system into manifestly well-posed form. The concept of well-posedness for characteristic problems invoked is that…

We establish a new a priori bound for $ L^2 $-bounded sequences of solutions to the mKdV equations on the torus. This first enable us to construct weak solutions in $ L^2$ for this equation and to check that the "solutions" constructed by…
