Boussinesq's equation for water waves: asymptotics in sector V

Abstract: We consider the Boussinesq equation on the line for a broad class of Schwartz initial data for which (i) no solitons are present, (ii) the spectral functions have generic behavior near $\pm 1$, and (iii) the solution exists globally. In a recent work, we identified ten main sectors describing the asymptotic behavior of the solution, and for each of these sectors we gave an exact expression for the leading asymptotic term. In this paper, we give a proof for the formula corresponding to the sector $\frac{x}{t}\in (0,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$.
