b-family equation; Besov space; local well-posedness

We consider the b-family shallow water equation[1-4], namely,

mt-Aux+umx+buxm+γuxxx=0t>0,x∈R

(1)

with initial datam(0,x)=u0(x)-α2u0,xx, whereu(t,x) stands for the horizontal velocity of the fluid,u→0 asx→∞;Ais a nonnegative parameter related to the critical shallow water speed and the parameter is a constant. The real dimensionless constantbis a parameter, which provides the competition, or balance, in fluid convection between nonlinear steepening and amplification due to stretching, it is also the number of covariant dimensions associated with the momentum densitym. With the momentum densitym=u-uxx, Eq.(1) can be rewritten as

ut-α2utxx-Aux+(b+1)uux+γuxxx=α2(buxuxx+uuxxx)

(2)

Eq.(2) can be regarded as a model of water waves by using asymptotic expansions directly in the Hamiltonian for Euler’s equation in the shallow water regime[5-6]. Eq.(2) is the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation when the parametersα=0 andb=2 and the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation when the pararmeteb=2[7]. Eq.(2) is also referred to as the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm (DGH) equation[5,7]whenb=2 andγ≠0 and the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation whenb=3[5-6,8-10]. The KdV equation, the CH equation and the DP equation[8]are the only three integrable equations in the b-family equation.

The problem of finding the largest spacesEfor which Eq.(1) with initial data inEis well-posedness in the mean of Hadamard has attracted a lot of attention recently. Before going further into details, let us define what we mean by local well-posedness in the mean of Hadamard.

Definition 1 LetEbe a Banach space. Eq.(1) is said to be locally well-posedness inEin the mean of Hadamard if for anyu0∈E, there exists a neighborhoodVofu0andT>0 such that for anyv0∈V, Eq.(1) has a unique solutionv∈C([0,T];E) with initial datumv0, and the mapv0→vis continuous fromVintoC([0,T];E).

If we denoteP(D) as the Fourier integral operator with the Fourier multiplier -iξ(1+ξ2)-1, then Eq.(3) becomes

1 Preliminaries

In this section, we will recall some facts on the Littlewood-Paley decomposition, the nonhomogeneous Besov spaces and some of their useful properties. The transport equation theory will be used in the following section.

Proposition 1[11](Littlewood-Paley decomposition) There exists a couple of smooth functions (χ,φ) valued in [0,1], such thatχis supported in the ballBφis supported in the ringCφ(2-qξ)=1, suppφ(2-q·)∩suppφ(2-q′·)(·)∩suppφ(2-q·)=φ(q≥1).

Then for allu∈S′, we can define the nonhomogeneous dyadic blocks as follows. LethF-1φandF-1χ. Then the dyadic operatorsΔqandSqcan be defined as follows:

Δquφ(2-qD)u=2qn∫Rnh(2qy)u(x-y)dyq≥0

Hence,

where the right-hand side is called the nonhomogeneous Littlewood-Paley decomposition ofu.

Moreover, there exists a constantConly depending ons,pandr, such that the following statements hold:

and

In order to apply the contraction argument to prove the analytic regularity of the Cauchy problem (3), we need a suitable scale of Banach spaces which we will describe below.

For anys>0, we set

The following lemma comes from Ref.[6].

Moreover, the solution depends continuously on the initial data; i.e., the mapping

is continuous.

The first step is to prove the existence of the solution.

Uniqueness is a corollary of the following result.

then, denotingL(z)=zlog(e+z), the following inequality holds true fort∈[0,T*],

By virtue of Lemma 1, the following inequality holds true:

is continuous.

The main ingredients for proving Lemma 9 are Proposition 2 and a continuity result Lemma 1 for linear transport equations.

Now combining the above uniform bounds with Proposition 3, we infer that

Note thatv(n)solves the following linear transport equation:

where

f(n)= -(∂xun)2+bP(D)(un∂xun)+

Following Kato[17], we decomposev(n)intov(n)=z(n)+w(n)with

and

Therefore, the product laws in Besov spaces yield

Letε>0. Combining the above result of convergence with estimate (14), one concludes that for large enoughn∈N,

3 Analyticity of Solution

In this section, we shall establish the analyticity result.

We restate the Cauchy problem in a more convenient form. Note that (3) is equivalent to the following form:

(16)

Differentiating with respect tox, we obtain that

(17)

Letv=ux. Then the problem can be written as a system foruandv:

(18)

(19)

This can be written as the abstract form of the Cauchy problem. We shall establish the following analyticity result.

Theorem 2 Letu0be a real analytic function on R. There existsε>0 and unique solutionuof the Cauchy problem (18) that is analytic on (-ε,ε).

In order to prove 1), for 0

And

hence condition 1) holds.

Since

Using Lemmas 4 and 5, we obtain the following estimates:

and

This implies that the condition (2) also holds. Hence, the proof of Theorem 2 is complete.
