On the algebraic lower bound for the radius of spatial analyticity for the Zakharov-Kuznetsov and modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations

We consider the initial value problem (IVP) for the 2D generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation \begin{equation} \begin{cases} \partial_{t}u+\partial_{x}Δu+μ\partial_{x}u^{k+1}=0, \,\;\; (x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2, \, t \in \mathbb{R},\\ u(x,y,0)=u_0(x,y), \end{cases} \end{equation} where $Δ=\partial_x^2+\partial_y^2$, $μ=\pm 1$, $k=1,2$ and the initial data $u_0$ is real analytic in a strip around the $x$-axis of the complex plane and have radius of spatial analyticity $σ_0$. For both $k=1$ and $k=2$ we prove that there exists $T_0>0$ such that the radius of spatial analyticity of the solution remains the same in the time interval $[-T_0, T_0]$. We also consider the evolution of the radius of spatial analyticity when the local solution extends globally in time. For the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation ($k=1$), we prove that, in both focusing ($μ=1$) and defocusing ($μ=-1$) cases, and for any $T> T_0$, the radius of analyticity cannot decay faster than $cT^{-4+ε}$, $ε>0$, $c>0$. For the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation ($k=2)$ in the defocusing case ($μ=-1$), we prove that the radius of spatial analyticity cannot decay faster than $cT^{-\frac{4}{3}}$, $c>0$, for any $T>T_0$. These results on the algebraic lower bounds for the evolution of the radius of analyticity improve the ones obtained by Shan and Zhang in [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 501 (2021) 125218] and by Quian and Shan in [Nonlinear Analysis, 235 (2023) 113344] where the authors have obtained lower bounds involving exponential decay.

Nonlinear smoothing implies improved lower bounds on the radius of spatial analyticity for nonlinear dispersive equations

We provide a roadmap to establish improved lower bounds on the decay rate of the uniform radius of analyticity $σ(T)$ for a given nonlinear dispersive equation, reducing the problem to the derivation of nonlinear smoothing estimates with a specific distribution of extra derivatives. We apply this strategy for both the defocusing generalized KdV and the nonlinear Schrödinger equations with odd pure-power nonlinearity. For both equations, we reach the lower bound $σ(T)\gtrsim T^{-\frac{1}{2}-ε}$, for any $ε>0$, thus improving all available results in the current literature.

Improved algebraic lower bound for the radius of spatial analyticity for the generalized KdV equation

We consider the initial value problema (IVP) for the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (gKdV) equation \begin{equation} \begin{cases} \partial_tu+\partial_x^3u+μu^k\partial_xu=0, \,\;\; x\in \mathbb{R}, \, t \in \mathbb{R},\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x), \end{cases} \end{equation} where $u(x,\,t)$ is a real valued function, $u_0(x)$ is a real analytic function, $μ=\pm 1$ and $k\geq 4$. We prove that if the initial data $u_0$ has radius of analyticity $σ_0$, then there exists $T_0>0$ such that the radius of spatial analyticity of the solution remains the same in the time interval $[-T_0, \, T_0]$. In the defocusing case, for $k\geq 4$ even, we prove that when the local solution extends globally in time, then for any $T\geq T_0$, the radius of analyticity cannot decay faster than $cT^{-\left(\frac{2k}{k+4}+ε\right)}$, $ε>0$ arbitrarily small and $c>0$ a constant. The result of this work improves the one obtained by Bona et al. in [ J. L. Bona, Z. Grujić, H. Kalisch, Algebraic lower bounds for the uniform radius of spatial analyticity for the generalized KdV equation, Ann Inst. H. Poincaré, 22 (2005) 783--797].
