Well-posedness result is obtained from reduction of the problem into a quadratic nonlinear Schr\\\"odinger equation and the contraction argument in suitably modified $X^{s,b}$ spaces. The proof of the crucial bilinear estimates in these spaces, especially in the lowest regularity, rely on some bilinear estimates for one dimensional periodic functions in $X^{s,b}$ spaces, which are generalization of the bilinear refinement of the $L^4$ Strichartz estimate on $\\mathbb{R}$. Our result improves the known local well-posedness in $H^s(\\mathbb{T})$ with $s>-3/8$ given by Oh and Stefanov (2012) to the regularity threshold $H^{-1/2}(\\mathbb{T})$. Similar ideas also establish the sharp local well-posedness in $H^{-1/2}(\\mathbb{R})$ and ill-posedness below $H^{-1/2}$ for the nonperiodic case, which improves the result of Tsugawa and the author (2010) in $H^s(\\mathbb{R})$ with $s>-1/2$ to the limiting regularity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-28T20:42:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q55" ], "keywords": [ "sharp local well-posedness", "boussinesq equation", "crucial bilinear estimates", "initial value problem", "dimensional periodic functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.jde.2012.12.008", "journal": "Journal of Differential Equations", "year": 2013, "volume": 254, "number": 6, "pages": 2393 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013JDE...254.2393K" } } }
