Invariant Measures and Long Time Behaviour for the Benjamin-Ono Equation III

Perturbation theory for the Benjamin–Ono equation

We develop a perturbation theory for the Benjamin–Ono (BO) equation. This perturbation theory is based on the inverse scattering transform for the BO equation, which was originally developed by Fokas and Ablowitz and recently refined by Kaup and Matsuno. We find the expressions for the variations of the scattering data with respect to the potential, as well as the dual expression for the variat...

Time-Periodic Solutions of the Benjamin-Ono Equation

We present a spectrally accurate numerical method for finding non-trivial timeperiodic solutions of non-linear partial differential equations. The method is based on minimizing a functional (of the initial condition and the period) that is positive unless the solution is periodic, in which case it is zero. We solve an adjoint PDE to compute the gradient of this functional with respect to the in...

Benjamin-Ono Equation on a Half-Line

Sharp ill-posedness result for the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation

We prove the discontinuity for the weak L(T)-topology of the flowmap associated with the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation. This ensures that this equation is ill-posed in Hs(T) as soon as s < 0 and thus completes exactly the well-posedness result obtained in [12]. AMS Subject Classification : 35B20, 35Q53.
