Schrödinger-improved Boussinesq system in two space dimensions

Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger-improved Boussinesq system in a two-dimensional domain. Under natural assumptions on the data without smallness, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions. Moreover, we consider the vanishing “improvement” limit of global solutions as the coefficient of the linear term of the highest order in the equation of ion sound waves tends to zero. Under the same smallness assumption on the data as in the Zakharov case, solutions in the vanishing “improvement” limit are shown to satisfy the Zakharov system.
