Solutions to the Fifth-Order KP II Equation Scatter (2308.06381v2)

Abstract: The fifth-order KP II equation $$ \partial_t u + \alpha \partial_x^3 u + \beta \partial_x^5 u + u \partial_x u + \partial_x^{-1} \partial_y^2u=0$$ ($\beta<0$, $\alpha>0$) is a nonlinear dispersive equation that models long dispersive waves in two space dimensions. We prove that solutions of the fifth-order KP II equation scatter to solutions of the corresponding linear equation $$ \partial_t v + \alpha\partial_x^3 v + \beta\partial_x^5 v + \partial_x^{-1} \partial_y^2 v = 0$$ for small data. Our proof uses builds on Hadac, Herr, and Koch's work (see ArXiv:0708.2011) on the third-order KP II equation.
