Dispersive decay bound of small data solutions to Kawahara equation in a finite time scale

Abstract

In this article, we prove that small localized data yield solutions to Kawahara-type equations which have linear dispersive decay on a finite time scale depending on the size of the initial data. We use the similar method used by Ifrim and Tataru to derive the dispersive decay bound of the solutions to the KdV equation, with some steps being simpler. This result is expected to be the first result of the small data global bounds of the fifth-order dispersive equations with quadratic nonlinearity.
