Global well-posedness for the Benjamin equation in low regularity
In this paper we consider the initial value problem of the Benjamin equation $$ \partial_{t}u+ν\H(\partial^2_xu) +μ\partial_{x}^{3}u+\partial_xu^2=0, $$ where $u:\R\times [0,T]\mapsto \R$, and the constants $ν,μ\in \R,μ\neq0$. We use the I-method to show that it is globally well-posed in Sobolev spaces $H^s(\R)$ for $s>-3/4$. Moreover, we use some argument to obtain a good estimative for the lifetime of the local solution, and employ some multiplier decomposition argument to construct the almost conserved quantities.
