1. Introduction
The Soviet physicists Boris Kadomtsev and Vladimir Petviashvili derived the equation that now bears their name, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (shortly the KP equation), as a model that describes the evolution of long ion-acoustic waves of small amplitude propagating in plasmas under the effect of long transverse perturbations. A particular case of this model is the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in the case of the absence of transverse dynamics. The KP equation is an extension of the classical KdV equation to two spatial dimensions, and it was used by Ablowitz and Segur for modeling of surface and internal water waves and for modeling in nonlinear optics, as well as in other physical settings.
The KP equation I can consider as a nonlinear partial differential equation in two spatial and one temporal coordinate. There are two distinct versions of the KP equation, which can be written in a normalized form in the following way:
where u = u (x, y, t) is a scalar function, x and y are the longitudinal and transverse spatial coordinates, subscripts x, y, t denote partial derivatives and σ2 = ±1. When σ = 1, this equation is known as the KPII equation, and in this case, it models water waves with small surface tension. In the case when σ = −1, this equation is known as the KPI equation, and in this case, it models waves in thin films with high surface tension. In the references, the equation is often written with different coefficients in front of the various terms. Note that the particular values are inessential and they can be modified by appropriate rescaling of the dependent variables and of the independent variables.
This paper is devoted to the IVP for the generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvilli I (gKP I) equation
where
, l ≥ 5, , |u0(x, y)| ≤ B, , B > 0 is a given constant.
ν = ±1, μ > 0.
In the particular case, when l = 5, equation (1.1) is reduced to the fifth-order KP I equation and in the case l = 3, equation (1.1) is reduced to the KP equation.
In Ref. [1], when l = 3, the authors the local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem for the KP equation in certain Sobolev spaces. Generically, the solution of the KP equation develops a singularity in finite time t. It is discussed in Refs [2, 3] that this singularity develops at a point where the derivatives become divergent in all directions except one.
In Ref. [4], the authors established the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the gKP I equation in anisotropic Sobolev spaces when and α ≥ 4, and global well-posedness in when and 4 ≤ α ≤ 5, as well as when and α > 5.
Mechanical systems with impact, heartbeats, blood flows, population dynamics, industrial robotics, biotechnology, economics, etc. are real-world and applied science phenomena which are abruptly changed in their states at some time instants due to short time perturbations whose duration is negligible in comparison with the duration of these phenomena. A natural framework for mathematical simulation of such phenomena is differential equations when more factors are taken into account, please see Refs [5–8].
This paper aims to investigate the IVP (1.1) for the existence of at least one and at least two global classical solutions. In addition of (H1) and (H2), suppose
is a positive function on such that
and
for some constant A > 0, and
ϵ ∈ (0, 1), A and B satisfy the inequalities ϵB1(1 + A) < B and AB1 < 1.
Let m > 0 be large enough and A, B, r, L, R1 be positive constants that satisfy the following conditions
In the last section, we will give an example of a function g and constants ϵ, A, B, B1, r, L, R1 and m that satisfy (H3)–(H5).
With , we denote the space of all continuous functions on so that ut, , ∂txu, ∂yu, , r = 1, …, l + 1, exist and are continuous on .
Our main result for existence of at least one global classical solution is as follows.
Next theorem is our result for the existence of at least two global nonnegative classical solutions.
The main idea for the proof of our main results is as follows. First, we find an integral representation of the solutions of the IVP (1.1). Then we construct a pair of operators so that any fixed point of their sum is a solution of the IVP (1.1). We find some a-priori estimates of the defined operators and using some fixed point theorems we conclude the existence of at least one global classical solution and the existence of at least two nonnegative classical solutions of the IVP (1.1).
2. Auxiliary results
In this section, as in Ref. [9], we will give some basic definitions and facts which will be used in this paper. Moreover, we will formulate the basic fixed-point theorems which we explore to prove our main results. For more details, we refer the reader to the papers [10–14] and references therein. To prove the existence of at least one global classical solution for the IVP (1.1), we will use the following fixed-point theorem.
([9, 12, 13]) Suppose that the constants ϵ and B are positive constants. Let E be a Banach space and define the set X = {x ∈ E: ‖x‖ ≤ B} and the operator Tx = −ϵx, x ∈ X. Assume that the operator S : X → E is a continuous operator and the set (I − S)(X) resides in a compact subset of E. Let also,
Below, assume that X is a real Banach space. Now, we will recall the definition of a completely continuous operator in a Banach space.
[9] A map K : X → X is called a completely continuous map if it is continuous and it maps any bounded set into a relatively compact set.
For completeness, we will recall the definition of the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness, which will be used to be define l-set contraction mappings when .
[9] With ΩX we will denote the class of all bounded sets of X. Then the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness is defined by
For the main properties of the measure of noncompactness, we refer the reader to Ref. [10]. Now, we are ready to define an l-set contraction in a Banach space for any .
[9] A map K : X → X is called an l-set contraction if it is continuous, bounded and there exists a constant l ≥ 0 for which one has the following inequality
Note that any completely continuous mapping K : X → X is a 0-set contraction (see Ref. [11], p. 264). Next, for our main results, we have a need for a definition of an expansive operator.
[9] Let X and Y be real Banach spaces. A map K : X → Y is called expansive if there exists a constant h > 1 for which one has the following inequality
Now, we will recall the definition of a cone in a Banach space.
[9] A closed, convex set in X is said to be cone if
for any α ≥ 0 and for any ,
implies x = 0.
Denote . The next result is a fixed-point theorem which we will use to prove the existence of at least two nonnegative global classical solutions of the IVP (1.1). For its proof, we refer the reader to the paper [14].
Let be a cone of a Banach space E; Ω a subset of and U1, U2 and U3 three open bounded subsets of such that and 0 ∈ U1. Assume that is an expansive mapping with constant h > 1, is a k-set contraction with 0 ≤ k < h − 1 and . Suppose that , and there exists such that the following conditions hold:
Sx ≠ (I − T)(x − λu0), for all λ > 0 and x ∈ ∂U1 ∩ (Ω + λu0),
There exists ϵ ≥ 0 such that Sx ≠ (I − T)(λx), for all λ ≥ 1 + ϵ, x ∈ ∂U2 and λx ∈ Ω,
Sx ≠ (I − T)(x − λu0), for all λ > 0 and x ∈ ∂U3 ∩ (Ω + λu0).
Then T + S has at least two non-zero fixed points such that
3. Preliminary results
In this section, we will define suitable operators and we will deduct some a-priori estimates which we will use to prove our main results. Let X be endowed with the norm
provided it exists. For u ∈ X, define the operator
In the next lemma, we will establish that any solution of an integral equation is a solution to the IVP (1.1).
Proof. Let u ∈ X be a solution of equation (3.1). Using the definition of S1, we get the following integral equation
For the last integral equation, we differentiate one time with respect to t and we get the following integral equation
Therefore
Thus, u satisfies the first equation of (1.1). Now, we put t = 0 and we arrive at the equality
From here, we conclude that u satisfies the second equation of (1.1). Consequently, u is a solution to the IVP (1.1). This completes the proof.□
Now, we will give an a-priori estimate of the operator S1. For this aim, we define the constant
Proof. By the definition of the operator S1, one gets
This completes the proof.□
For u ∈ X, we define the operator
. In the next lemma, we will give an estimate of the norm of the operator S2.
Proof. We will use the inequality (v + w)q ≤ 2q(vq + wq), q > 0, v, w > 0, to find estimates for S2u and its derivatives. Then, we will deduct the desired estimate for the norm of S2u. We have
Now, we will estimate the first derivative with respect to t of S2u. For it, one has
For the derivatives of S2u with respect to x, one deduct
As above, one can get the following estimates
Note that for the mixed derivative ∂txS2u, one has
Thus,
This completes the proof.□
In the next result, we will give other integral equations whose solutions are solutions to the IVP (1.1).
Proof. We differentiate two times with respect to t, five times with respect to x and five times with respect to y equation (3.2) and we find
whereupon
since S1u(⋅, ⋅, ⋅) is a continuous function on , we get
thus,
4. Proof of the main results
4.1 Proof of Theorem 1.1
Let denote the set of all equi-continuous families in X with respect to the norm ‖ ⋅‖. Let also, be the closure of , ,
Note that Y is a compact set in X. For u ∈ X, define the operators
For u ∈ Y, using Lemma 3.3, we have
Thus, S : Y → E is continuous and (I − S)(Y) resides in a compact subset of E. Now, suppose that there is a u ∈ E so that ‖u‖ = B and
or
or
for some . Hence, ‖S2u‖ ≤ AB1 < B,
which is a contradiction. Hence Theorem 2.1 follows that the operator T + S has a fixed point u* ∈ Y. Therefore,
where
4.2 Proof of Theorem 1.2
Let X be the space used in the previous section. Let also,
with we will denote the set of all equi-continuous families in . For v ∈ X, define the operators
, . Note that any fixed point v ∈ X of the operator T1 + S3 is a solution to the IVP (1.1). Define
Let v1, v2 ∈ Ω. Then, we get
from the last equality, we conclude that the operator T1 : Ω → X is an expansive operator with a constant h = 1 + mɛ > 1.
Take arbitrarily. Then
from the last inequality, we conclude that the set is uniformly bounded. Because the operator is a continuous operator, we get that is equi-continuous. Therefore, the operator is a 0-set contraction.
Take arbitrarily. Set
note that on . Therefore, v2 ≥ 0 on and we have the following estimate
consequently v2 ∈ Ω. Moreover,
or
Therefore, .
Suppose that for any , there exist λ > 0 and or such that
hence,
or
from the last equation, we arrive at
this is a contradiction.
Assume that for any ϵ1 ≥ 0 small enough there exist a and λ1 ≥ 1 + ϵ1 such that and
When , one has , , λ1 ≥ 1 + ϵ1 and (4.1) holds. Since and , it follows that
in addition,
or
hence,
and
which is a contradiction.
Therefore, all conditions of Theorem 2.7 hold and the IVP (1.1) has at least two solutions u1 and u2 so that
or
5. An example
Below, we will illustrate our main results. Let B = μ = ν = 1 and
let also,
then
and
i.e. (H4) holds. Next,
i.e. (H5) holds. Take
then
therefore
and
consequently
hence, there exists a positive constant C1 so that
. Note that and by Ref. [15] (p. 707, Integral 79), we have
let
and
then there exists a constant C > 0 such that
let
then
i.e. (H3), holds. Therefore, for the IVP
are fulfilled all conditions of Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2.
