On the ill-posedness of the 5th-order Gardner equation

Abstract

We present ill-posedness results for the initial value problem (IVP) of the 5th-order Gardner equation. We use new breather solutions discovered for this higher order Gardner equation to measure the regularity of the Cauchy problem in Sobolev spaces Hs. We find the sharp Sobolev index under which the local well-posedness of the problem is lost, meaning that the dependence of 5th order Gardner solutions upon initial data fails to be continuous.
