Unconditional local well-posedness threshold for the periodic generalized KdV equation
Unconditional local well-posedness threshold for the periodic generalized KdV equation
Let and consider the -generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation on the periodic domain, with initial data in the Sobolev space . Unconditional well-posedness conjecture. The equation is unconditionally locally well-posed in for every
The proposed threshold is motivated by the failure of the convex integration scheme below the regime where the nonlinearity belongs to , and by the known sharp threshold for the KdV equation. The corresponding unconditional nonuniqueness-versus-uniqueness transition remains conjectural for .
