Ill-posedness issue for the 2D viscous shallow water equations in some critical Besov spaces

Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem of the 2D viscous shallow water equations in some critical Besov spaces $\dot B^{\frac{2}{p}}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^2)\times \dot B^{\frac{2}{p}-1}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^2)$. As is known, this system is locally well-posed for large initial data as well as globally well-posed for small initial data in $\dot B^{\frac{2}{p}}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^2)\times \dot B^{\frac{2}{p}-1}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $p<4$ and ill-posed in $\dot B^{\frac{2}{p}}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^2)\times \dot B^{\frac{2}{p}-1}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $p>4$. In this paper, we prove that this system is ill-posed for the critical case $p=4$ in the sense of "norm inflation". Furthermore, we also show that the system is ill-posed in $\dot B^{\frac{1}{2}}_{4,1}(\mathbb{R}^2)\times \dot B^{-\frac{1}{2}}_{4,q}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for any $q\neq 2$
