The IVP for the Benjamin-Ono equation in weighted Sobolev spaces

We study the initial value problem associated to the Benjamin-Ono equation. The aim is to establish persistence properties of the solution flow in the weighted Sobolev spaces $Z_{s,r}=H^s(\R)\cap L^2(|x|^{2r}dx)$, $s\in\R, \,s\geq 1$ and $s\geq r$. We also prove some unique continuation properties of the solution flow in these spaces. In particular, these continuation principles demostrate that our persistence properties are sharp.Comment: 21 page

On the persistence properties of solutions of nonlinear dispersive equations in weighted Sobolev spaces

We study persistence properties of solutions to some canonical dispersive models, namely the semi-linear Schr\"odinger equation, the $k$-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Benjamin-Ono equation, in weighted Sobolev spaces $H^s(\R^n)\cap L^2(|x|^ldx),\;s,\,l>0$Comment: RIMS Kokyuroku Bessatsu (RIMS Proceedings, Extra Issue
