On long time dynamics of perturbed KdV equations (1310.5462v2)

Abstract: Consider perturbed KdV equations: [u_t+u_{xxx}-6uu_x=\epsilon f(u(\cdot)),\quad x\in\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z},\;\int_{\mathbb{T}}u(x,t)dx=0,] where the nonlinearity defines analytic operators $u(\cdot)\mapsto f(u(\cdot))$ in sufficiently smooth Sobolev spaces. Assume that the equation has an $\epsilon$-quasi-invariant measure $\mu$ and satisfies some additional mild assumptions. Let $u^{\epsilon}(t)$ be a solution. Then on time intervals of order $\epsilon^{-1}$, as $\epsilon\to0$, its actions $I(u^{\epsilon}(t,\cdot))$ can be approximated by solutions of a certain well-posed averaged equation, provided that the initial datum is $\mu$-typical.
