The Cauchy problem for the generalized Ostrovsky equation with negative dispersion

Abstract: This paper is devoted to studying the Cauchy problem for the generalized Ostrovsky equation \begin{eqnarray*} u_{t}-\beta\partial_{x}^{3}u-\gamma\partial_{x}^{-1}u+\frac{1}{k+1}(u^{k+1})_{x}=0,k\geq5 \end{eqnarray*} with $\beta\gamma<0,\gamma>0$. Firstly, we prove that the Cauchy problem for the generalized Ostrovsky equation is locally well-posed in $H^{s}(\mathbb{R})\left(s>\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{k}\right)$. Then, we prove that the Cauchy problem for the generalized Ostrovsky equation is locally well-posed in $X_{s}(\mathbb{R}): =|f|{H^{s}}+\left|\mathscr{F}{x}^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathscr{F}_{x} f(\xi)}{\xi}\right)\right|{H^{s}}\left(s>\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{k}\right).$ Finally, we show that the solution to the Cauchy problem for generalized Ostrovsky equation converges to the solution to the generalized KdV equation as the rotation parameter $\gamma$ tends to zero for data belonging to $X{s}(\mathbb{R})(s>\frac{3}{2})$. The main difficulty is that the phase function of Ostrosvky equation with negative dispersive $\beta\xi^{3}+\frac{\gamma}{\xi}$ possesses the zero singular point.
