This will imply the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the aforementioned spaces along with the continuity of the data-to-solution map provided that the initial data belongs to $B_{2,r}^s $. We also establish sharpness of continuity on the data-to-solution map by showing that it is not uniformly continuous from any bounded subset of $B_{2,r}^s$ to $C([-T,T]; B^s_{2,r})$. Furthermore, we prove a Cauchy-Kowalevski type theorem for this equation that establishes the existence and uniqueness of real analytic solutions and also provide blow-up criterion for solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-31T20:00:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q53" ], "keywords": [ "besov spaces", "fornberg-whitham equation", "continuity properties", "well-posedness", "data-to-solution map" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
