The Benjamin Ono equation with a slowly varying potential is $$ text{(pBO)} qquad u_t + (Hu_x-Vu + tfrac12 u^2)_x=0 $$ with $V(x)=W(hx)$, $0< h ll 1$, and $Win C_c^infty(mathbb{R})$, and $H$ denotes the Hilbert transform. The soliton profile is $$Q_{a,c}(x) = cQ(c(x-a)) ,, text{ where } Q(x) = frac{4}{1+x^2}$$ and $ain mathbb{R}$, $c>0$ are parameters. For initial condition $u_0(x)$ to (pBO) close to $Q_{0,1}(x)$, it was shown in a previous work by Z. Zhang that the solution $u(x,t)$ to (pBO) remains close to $Q_{a(t),c(t)}(x)$ and approximate parameter dynamics for $(a,c)$ were provided, on a dynamically relevant time scale. In this paper, we prove exact $(a,c)$ parameter dynamics. This is achieved using the basic framework of the previous work by Z. Zhang but adding a local virial estimate for the linearization of (pBO) around the soliton. This is a local-in-space estimate averaged in time, often called a local smoothing estimate, showing that effectively the remainder function in the perturbation analysis is smaller near the soliton than globally in space. A weaker version of this estimate is proved in a paper by Kenig & Martel as part of a ``linear Liouville result, and we have adapted and extended their proof for our application.
We prove that the complex-valued modified Benjamin-Ono (mBO) equation is locally wellposed if the initial data $phi$ belongs to $H^s$ for $sgeq 1/2$ with $ orm{phi}_{L^2}$ sufficiently small without performing a gauge transformation. Hence the real-valued mBO equation is globally wellposed for those initial datas, which is contained in the results of C. Kenig and H. Takaoka cite{KenigT} where the smallness condition is not needed. We also prove that the real-valued $H^infty$ solutions to mBO equation satisfy a priori local in time $H^s$ bounds in terms of the $H^s$ size of the initial data for $s>1/4$.
We consider the generalized Benjamin-Ono (gBO) equation on the real line, $ u_t + partial_x (-mathcal H u_{x} + tfrac1{m} u^m) = 0, x in mathbb R, m = 2,3,4,5$, and perform numerical study of its solutions. We first compute the ground state solution to $-Q -mathcal H Q^prime +frac1{m} Q^m = 0$ via Petviashvilis iteration method. We then investigate the behavior of solutions in the Benjamin-Ono ($m=2$) equation for initial data with different decay rates and show decoupling of the solution into a soliton and radiation, thus, providing confirmation to the soliton resolution conjecture in that equation. In the mBO equation ($m=3$), which is $L^2$-critical, we investigate solutions close to the ground state mass, and, in particular, we observe the formation of stable blow-up above it. Finally, we focus on the $L^2$-supercritical gBO equation with $m=4,5$. In that case we investigate the global vs finite time existence of solutions, and give numerical confirmation for the dichotomy conjecture, in particular, exhibiting blow-up phenomena in the supercritical setting.
The periodic Benjamin-Ono equation is an autonomous Hamiltonian system with a Gibbs measure on $L^2({mathbb T})$. The paper shows that the Gibbs measures on bounded balls of $L^2$ satisfy some logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The space of $n$-soliton solutions of the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation, as discovered by Case, is a Hamiltonian system with an invariant Gibbs measure. As $nrightarrowinfty$, these Gibbs measures exhibit a concentration of measure phenomenon. Case introduced soliton solutions that are parameterised by atomic measures in the complex plane. The limiting distributions of these measures gives the density of a compressible gas that satisfies the isentropic Euler equations.
A two-layer fluid system separated by a pycnocline in the form of an internal wave is considered. The lower layer is infinitely deep, with a higher density than the upper layer which is bounded above by a flat surface. The fluids are incompressible and inviscid. A Hamiltonian formulation for the fluid dynamics is presented and it is shown that an appropriate scaling leads to the integrable Benjamin-Ono equation.
We prove the discontinuity for the weak $ L^2(T) $-topology of the flow-map associated with the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation. This ensures that this equation is ill-posed in $ H^s(T) $ as soon as $ s<0 $ and thus completes exactly the well-posedness result obtained by the author.
