In this article, we prove that in a certain scaling regime, a large class of rough solutions to the Boussinesq equation are approximated by the sums of two counter-propagating waves solving the KdV equations. It extends the earlier result by \\cite{Schneider1998} to slightly more regular than $L^2$-solutions. Our proof is based on robust Fourier analysis methods developed for the low regularity theory of nonlinear dispersive equations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2024-04-11T11:59:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q53", "76B15" ], "keywords": [ "korteweg-de vries limit", "boussinesq equation", "robust fourier analysis methods", "low regularity theory", "kdv equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
