Abstract

For the initial value problem (IVP) associated the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (gKdV) equation with supercritical nonlinearity, u_{t}+\partial_x^3u+\partial_x(u^{k+1}) =0,\qquad k\geq 5, numerical evidence \cite{BDKM1, BSS1} shows that there are initial data ϕH1(R)\phi\in H^1(\mathbb{R}) such that the corresponding solution may blow-up in finite time. Also, with the evidence from numerical simulation \cite{ACKM, KP}, the physicists claim that a periodic time dependent term in factor of the nonlinearity would disturb the blow-up solution, either accelerating or delaying it. In this work, we investigate the IVP associated to the gKdV equation u_{t}+\partial_x^3u+g(\omega t)\partial_x(u^{k+1}) =0, where gg is a periodic function and k5k\geq 5 is an integer. We prove that, for given initial data ϕH1(R)\phi \in H^1(\R), as ω|\omega|\to \infty, the solution uωu_{\omega} converges to the solution UU of the initial value problem associated to U_{t}+\partial_x^3U+m(g)\partial_x(U^{k+1}) =0, with the same initial data, where m(g)m(g) is the average of the periodic function gg. Moreover, if the solution UU is global and satisfies ULx5Lt10<\|U\|_{L_x^5L_t^{10}}<\infty, then we prove that the solution uωu_{\omega} is also global provided ω|\omega| is sufficiently large.
