Local well-posedness for the two-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in the fully periodic case with initial data in Sobolev spaces $H^s$, $s>1$, is proved. Frequency dependent time localization is utilized to control the derivative nonlinearity. The new ingredient to improve on previous results is a nonlinear Loomis-Whitney-type inequality.
We prove a high-dimensional version of the Strichartz estimates for the unitary group associated to the free Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation. As a by--product, we deduce maximal estimates which allow us to prove local well-posedness for the generalized Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation in the whole subcritical case whenever $d \ge 4, k \ge 4,$ complementing the recent results of Kinoshita and Herr--Kinoshita. Finally, we use some of those maximal estimates in order to prove pointwise convergence results for the flow of the generalized Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation in any dimension, in the same spirit o…

The proof is based on a sharp maximal function estimate in time-weighted spaces.
The main purpose here is the study of dispersive blow-up for solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. Dispersive blow-up refers to point singularities due to the focusing of short or long waves. We will construct initial data such that solutions of the linear problem present this kind of singularities. Then we show that the corresponding solutions of the nonlinear problem present dispersive blow-up inherited from the linear component part of the equation. Similar results are obtained for the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.

In this paper we study the initial-value problem associated with the Benjamin-Ono-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. Such equation appears as a two-dimensional generalization of the Benjamin-Ono equation when transverse effects are included via weak dispersion of Zakharov-Kuznetsov type. We prove that the initial-value problem is locally well-posed in the usual $L^2(\R^2)$-based Sobolev spaces $H^{s}(\R^2)$, $s>11/8$, and in some weighted Sobolev spaces. To obtain our results, most of the arguments are accomplished taking into account the ones for the Benjamin-Ono equation.
In this note we study the generalized 2D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations $\partial_tu+Δ\partial_xu+u^k\partial_xu=0$ for $k\ge 2$. By an iterative method we prove the local well-posedness of these equations in the Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $s>1/4$ if $k=2$, $s>5/12$ if $k=3$ and $s>1-2/k$ if $k\ge 4$.
We consider in this paper the rigorous justification of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation from the Euler-Poisson system for uniformly magnetized plasmas. We first provide a proof of the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the aforementioned system in dimensions two and three. Then we prove that the long-wave small-amplitude limit is described by the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. This is done first in the case of cold plasma; we then show how to extend this result in presence of the isothermal pressure term with uniform estimates when this latter goes to zero.
In this paper, we consider the stability for line solitary waves of the two dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}_L$ which is one of a high dimensional generalization of Korteweg-de Vries equation , where $\mathbb{T}_L$ is the torus with the period $2πL$. The orbital and asymptotic stability of the one soliton of Korteweg-de Vries equation on the energy space has been proved by Benjamin, Pego and Weinstein and Martel and Merle. We regard the one soliton of Korteweg-de Vries equation as a line solitary wave of Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times\mat…
We prove that if the difference of two sufficiently smooth solutions of the three-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $$\partial_{t}u+\partial_{x}\triangle u+u\partial_{x}u=0 \text{,}\quad (x,y,z)\in\mathbb R^3, \;t\in[0,1],$$ decays as $e^{-a(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{3/4}}$ at two different times, for some $a>0$ large enough, then both solutions coincide.
We consider the Cauchy problem associated with the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation, posed on $\mathbb{T}^2$. We prove the local well-posedness for given data in $H^s(\mathbb{T}^2)$ whenever $s>5/3$. More importantly, we prove that this equation is of quasi-linear type for initial data in any Sobolev space on the torus, in sharp contrast with its semi-linear character in the $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{T}$ settings.
In this paper, we present analytic-approximate solution of a fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation by means of perturbation-iteration algorithm (PIA) and residual power series method (RSPM). Basic definitions of fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Several examples are given and the results are compared to exact solutions. The results show that both methods are competitive, effective, convenient and simple to use.
This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$. If $d=2$, we prove the sharp estimate which implies local in time well-posedness in the Sobolev space $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $s \geq 1/4$. If $d \geq 3$, by employing $U^p$ and $V^p$ spaces, we establish the small data global well-posedness in the scaling critical Sobolev space $H^{s_c}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ where $s_c = d/2-1$.
In this paper, we investigate the instability of one-dimensionally stable periodic traveling wave solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation to long wavelength transverse perturbations in the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in two space dimensions. By deriving appropriate asymptotic expansions of the periodic Evans function, we derive an index which yields sufficient conditions for transverse instabilities to occur. This index is geometric in nature, and applies to any periodic traveling wave profile under some minor smoothness assumptions on the nonlinearity. We also desc…
We consider the well-posedness of the initial value problem associated to the k-generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in fractional weighted Sobolev spaces. Our method of proof is based on the contraction mapping principle and it mainly relies on the well-posedness results recently obtained for this equation in the Sobolev spaces H^s(\R^2) and a new pointwise commutator type formula involving the group induced by the linear part of the equation and the fractional anisotropic weights to be considered
Initial-boundary value problems in a half-strip with different types of boundary conditions for two-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation are considered. Results on global well-posedness in classes of regular solutions in the cases of periodic and Neumann boundary conditions, as well as on internal regularity of solutions for all types of boundary conditions are established. Also in the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions one result on long-time decay of regular solutions is obtained.
We study in this article the stochastic Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation driven by a multiplicative noise. We establish, in space dimensions two and three the global existence of martingale solutions, and in space dimension two the global pathwise uniqueness and the existence of pathwise solutions. New methods are employed in the passage to the limit on a special type of boundary conditions and in the verification of the pathwise uniqueness of martingale solutions with a lack of regularity, where both difficulties arise due to the partly hyperbolic feature of the model.
We introduce a long wave scaling for the Vlasov-Poisson equation and derive, in the cold ions limit, the Korteweg-De Vries equation (in 1D) and the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation (in higher dimensions, in the presence of an external magnetic field). The proofs are based on the relative entropy method.
This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the $2$D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. We prove bilinear estimates which imply local in time well-posedness in the Sobolev space $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^2)$ for $s > -1/4$, and these are optimal up to the endpoint. We utilize the nonlinear version of the classical Loomis-Whitney inequality and develop an almost orthogonal decomposition of the set of resonant frequencies. As a corollary, we obtain global well-posedness in $L^2({\mathbb{R}}^2)$.
The Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in spatial dimension $d\geq 5$ is considered. The Cauchy problem is shown to be globally well-posed for small initial data in critical spaces and it is proved that solutions scatter to free solutions as $t \to \pm \infty$. The proof is based on i) novel endpoint non-isotropic Strichartz estimates which are derived from the $(d-1)$-dimensional Schrödinger equation, ii) transversal bilinear restriction estimates, and iii) an interpolation argument in critical function spaces. Under an additional radiality assumption, a similar result is obtained in dimension $d=4$…
In this work we consider the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the two dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $$\left. \begin{array}{rl} u_t+\partial_x^3 u+\partial_x \partial_y^2 u +u \partial_x u &\hspace{-2mm}=0,\qquad\qquad (x,y)\in\mathbb R^2,\; t\in\mathbb R,\\ u(x,y,0)&\hspace{-2mm}=u_0(x,y). \end{array} \right\}$$ We study the well-posedness of the IVP in the weighted Sobolev spaces $$H^s(\mathbb R^2) \cap L^2((1+x^2+y^2)^{r} dx dy),$$ with $s,r\in\mathbb R$.
We study here the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$ and $3$ and the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$. Those equations admit solitons, characterized by their velocity and their shift. Given the parameters of $K$ solitons $R^k$ (with distinct velocities), we prove the existence and uniqueness of a multi-soliton $u$ such that $\left\| u- \sum_{k=1}^K R^k \right\|_{H^1}\rightarrow 0 $ as $t \rightarrow +\infty$. The convergence takes place in $H^s$ with an exponential rate for all $s\geq 0$. The construction is made by successive approximations of the multi-soliton.…
We prove the local well-posedness for the two-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$, for $s\in [1,2]$, on the background of an $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^3)$-function $Ψ(t,x,y)$, with $Ψ(t,x,y)$ satisfying some natural extra conditions. This result not only gives us a framework to solve the ZK equation around a Kink, for example, but also around a periodic solution, that is, to consider localized non-periodic perturbations of periodic solutions. Additionally, we show the global well-posedness in the energy space $H^1(\mathbb{R}^2)$.
In this paper, we construct center stable manifolds of unstable line solitary waves for the Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{T}_L$ and show the orbital stability of the unstable line solitary waves on the center stable manifolds, which yields the asymptotic stability of unstable solitary waves on the center stable manifolds near by stable line solitary waves. The construction is based on the graph transform approach by Nakanishi and Schlag. Applying the bilinear estimate on Fourier restriction spaces by Molinet and Pilod and modifying the mobile distance by Nakanishi a…
In this paper, we construct center stable manifolds around unstable line solitary waves of the Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation on two dimensional cylindrical spaces with $2πL$ period. In the previous paper, center stable manifolds around unstable line solitary waves have been constructed without critical speed $c =4n^2/5L^2$ for positive integer $n>1$. Since the linearized operator around line solitary waves with critical speed is degenerate, we prove the stability condition of the center stable manifold for critical speed by applying to the estimate of 4th order term of a Lyapunov function.
We consider the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equation in two space dimensions in both focusing and defocusing cases. Using the $I$-method, we prove the global well-posedness of the $H^s$ solutions for $s>\frac{3}{4}$ for any data in the defocusing case and under the assumption that the mass of the initial data is less than the mass of the ground state solution of $Δφ- φ+ φ^3 = 0$ in the focusing case. This improves the global well-posedness result of Linares and Pastor [20].
In this work we shall study the well-posedness and ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem associated to the equation \begin{equation*} u_{t}+a(u^{n})_{x}+(b\mathscr{H} u_{t}+u_{yy})_{x}=0, \end{equation*} in anisotropic weigthed Sobolev spaces. In particular, we examine the unique continuation property for solutions, of this, with polynomial decay.
We consider the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation (ZK) in space dimension 2. Solutions u with initial data u\_0 $\in$ H s are known to be global if s $\ge$ 1. We prove that for any integer s $\ge$ 2, u(t) H s grows at most polynomially in t for large times t. This result is related to wave turbulence and how a solution of (ZK) can move energy to high frequencies. It is inspired by analoguous results by Staffilani on the non linear Schr{ö}dinger Korteweg-de-Vries equation. The main ingredients are adequate bilinear estimates in the context of Bourgain's spaces.
The purpose of the current paper is twofold: to some extent it is intended as a review of the recent optimal result in [4] concerning the unique continuation property of solutions to the two-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. On the other hand, the main core of the work is devoted to providing an alternative proof of the aforementioned result. The importance of this original contribution relies on the fact that, unlike the approach used in [4], the strategy adopted here is not sensitive of the two dimensional setting of the problem and therefore could be adapted to higher dimensional Zak…
