Spatial decay and nonlinear smoothing of the sixth-order Boussinesq equation

Abstract

In this paper, we study the initial value problem of the sixth-order Boussinesq equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities in arbitrary spatial dimensions. First, by using the Fourier restriction norm method and a high-low frequency decomposition, we establish the nonlinear smoothing for this equation, namely, the integral form of the solution to the Duhamel formulation enjoys higher regularity than its linear counterpart. Finally, by using the nonlinear smoothing, we establish the uniform convergence of the integral term and its spatial decay for each fixed $t$.
