Dynamics of the Drinfeld-Sokolov-Wilson system: well-posedness and (in)stability of the traveling waves

We analyze the Drinfeld-Sokolob-Wilson system, which features a dispersive, KdV type evolution with a dispersionless conservation law. We establish well-posedness with low regularity initial data $L^2({\mathbb T})\times L^2({\mathbb T})$ for the Cauchy problem on periodic background, which is then extrapolated to global solutions, due to $L^2$ conservation law. We also establish a dynamically more relevant result, namely a global persistence of solutions with (large) initial data in $H^1({\mathbb T})\times L^2({\mathbb T})$. This is obtained by following a more sophisticated approach, specifically the method of normal forms. Finally, for a fixed period $L$, we construct an explicit one parameter family of periodic waves, see \eqref{2.16} below. We show that they are all spectrally unstable with respect to co-periodic perturbations. Specifically, we show that the Hamiltonian instability index is equal to one, which identifies the instability as a single positive growing mode.

On Local Well-posedness of the Periodic Korteweg-de Vries Equation Below $H^{-\frac{1}{2}}(\mathbb{T})$

We utilize a modulation restricted normal form approach to establish local well-posedness of the periodic Korteweg-de Vries equation in $H^s(\mathbb{T})$ for $s> -\frac23$. This work creates an analogue of the mKdV result by Nakanishi, Takaoka, and Tsutsumi for KdV, extending the currently best-known result of $s \geq -\frac12$ without utilizing the theory of complete integrability.

The Kato-Ponce Inequality with Polynomial Weights

We consider various versions of fractional Leibniz rules (also known as Kato-Ponce inequalities) with polynomial weights $\langle x\rangle^a = (1+|x|^2)^{a/2}$ for $a\ge 0$. We show that the weighted Kato-Ponce estimate with the inhomogeneous Bessel potential $J^s = (1- \De)^{{s}/{2}}$ holds for the full range of bilinear Lebesgue exponents, for all polynomial weights, and for the sharp range of the degree $s$. This result, in particular, demonstrates that neither the classical Muckenhoupt weight condition nor the more general multilinear weight condition is required for the weighted Kato-Ponce inequality. We also consider a few other variants such as commutator and mixed norm estimates, and analogous conclusions are derived. Our results contain strong-type inequalities for both $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ endpoints, which extend several existing results.

Smoothing and growth bound of periodic generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation

For generalized KdV models with polynomial nonlinearity, we establish nonlinear smoothing property in $H^s$ for $s>\frac{1}{2}$. Such smoothing effect persists globally, provided that the $H^1$ norm does not blow up in finite time. More specifically, we show that a translate of the nonlinear part of the solution gains $\min(2s-1,1)-$ derivatives for $s>\frac{1}{2}$. Following a new simple method, which is of independent interest, we establish that, for $s>1$, $H^s$ norm of a solution grows at most by $\langle t\rangle^{s-1+}$ if $H^1$ norm is a priori controlled.

Polynomial Bound and Nonlinear Smoothing for the Benjamin-Ono Equation on the Circle

For initial data in Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb T)$, $\frac 12 < s \leqslant 1$, the solution to the Cauchy problem for the Benjamin-Ono equation on the circle is shown to grow at most polynomially in time at a rate $(1+t)^{3(s-\frac 12) + ε}$, $0<ε\ll 1$. Key to establishing this result is the discovery of a nonlinear smoothing effect for the Benjamin-Ono equation, according to which the solution to the equation satisfied by a certain gauge transform, which is widely used in the well-posedness theory of the Cauchy problem, becomes smoother once its free solution is removed.

Stabilization of Dispersion Generalized Benjamin Ono

In this article, we examine $L^2$ well-posedness and stabilization property of the dispersion-generalized Benjamin-Ono equation with periodic boundary conditions. The main ingredient of our proof is a development of dissipation-normalized Bourgain space, which gains smoothing properties simultaneously from dissipation and dispersion within the equation. We will establish a bilinear estimate for the derivative nonlinearity using this space and prove the linear observability inequality leading to small-data stabilization.

The Kato-Ponce Inequality

In this article we develop a simplistic approach to revisit the classical Kato-Ponce inequality, which is also known as 'fractional Leibniz rule.' As a consequence, we derive the validity of this inequality even in quasi-Banach spaces $L^p$ for $p<1$ with a certain restrictions on the indices. Also, we display the sharpness of this restriction by means of a counter-example. Finally, we also prove a multi-parameter variant of the inequality, which allows for partial fractional derivatives on $R^n$.

Resonant phase-shift and global smoothing of the periodic Korteweg-de Vries in low regularity settings

We show a smoothing effect of near full derivative for low-regularity global-in-time solutions of the periodic Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The smoothing is given by slightly shifting the space-time Fourier support of the nonlinear solution, which we call \emph{resonant phase-shift}. More precisely, we show that $[\mathcal{S}u](t) - e^{-t\partial_x^3} u(0) \in H^{-s+1-}$ where $u(0) \in H^{-s}$ for $0\leq s <1/2$ where $\mathcal{S}$ is the resonant phase-shift operator described below. We use the normal form method to obtain the result.

Improved local well-posedness for the periodic "good" Boussinesq equation

We prove that the "good" Boussinesq model with the periodic boundary condition is locally well-posed in the space $H^{s}\times H^{s-2}$ for $s > -3/8$. In the proof, we employ the normal form approach, which allows us to explicitly extract the rougher part of the solution. This also leads to the conclusion that the remainder is in a smoother space $C([0,T], H^{s+a}), where $0 <= a < \min (2s+1, 1/2)$. If we have a mean-zero initial data, this implies a smoothing effect of this order for the non-linearity. This is new even in the previously considered cases $s > -1/4$.

On the periodic Korteweg-de Vries equation: a normal form approach

This paper discusses an improved smoothing phenomena for low-regularity solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in the periodic settings by means of normal form transformation. As a result, the solution map from a ball on $H^{-1/2+}$ to $C_0^t ([0,T], H^{-1/2+})$ can be shown to be Lipschitz in a $H^{0+}_x$ topology, where the Lipschitz constant only depends on the rough norm $\|u_0\|_{H^{-1/2+}}$ of the initial data. A similar episode has been observed in a recent paper on 1D quadratic Schrödinger equation in low-regularity setting.

Local well-posedness for quadratic Schrödinger equations in $\mathbf{R^{1+1}}$: a normal form approach

For the Schrödinger equation $u_t+i u_{xx}=\nab^\be[u^2]$, $\be\in (0,1/2)$, we establish local well-posedness in $H^{\be-1+}$ (note that if $\be=0$, this matches, up to an endpoint, the sharp result of Bejenaru-Tao, \cite{BT}). Our approach differs significantly from the previous ones in that we use normal form transformation to analyze the worst interacting terms in the nonlinearity and then show that the remaining terms are (much) smoother. In particular, this allows us to conclude that $u-e^{-i t \p_x^2} u(0)\in H^{-\f{1}{2}}(\rone)$, even though $u(0)\in H^{\be-1+}$. In addition and as a byproduct of our normal form analysis, we obtain a Lipschitz continuity property in $H^{-\f{1}{2}}$ of the solution operator (which originally acts on $H^{\be-1+}$), which is new even in the case $\be=0$. As an easy corollary, we obtain local well-posedness results for $u_t+ i u_{xx} = [\nab^β u]^2$. Finally, we sketch an approach to obtain similar statements for the equations $u_t+i u_{xx}=\nab^\be[u\bar{u}]$ and $u_t+i u_{xx}=\nab^\be[\bar{u}^2]$.
