The new ingredient is that we use directly the contraction principle to prove local well-posedness for KdV equation at $s=-3/4$ by constructing some special resolution spaces in order to avoid some 'logarithmic divergence' from the high-high interactions. Our local solution has almost the same properties as those for $H^s (s>-3/4)$ solution which enable us to apply the I-method to extend it to a global solution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-04-20T02:06:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q53" ], "keywords": [ "korteweg-de vries equation", "global well-posedness", "modified korteweg-de vries initial-value problem", "special resolution spaces", "local solution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0810.3445G" } } }
