Sharp well-posedness for the Chen-Lee equation

Abstract: We study the initial value problem associated to a perturbation of the Benjamin-Ono equation or Chen-Lee equation. We prove that results about local and global well-posedness for initial data in $H^s(R)$, with $s>-1/2$, are sharp in the sense that the flow-map data-solution fails to be $C^3$ in $H^s(\mathbb{R})$ when $s<-\frac{1}{2}$. Also, we determine the limiting behavior of the solutions when the dispersive and dissipative parameters goes to zero. In addition, we will discuss the asymptotic behavior (as $|x|\to \infty$) of the solutions by solving the equation in weighted Sobolev spaces.
