Degenerate 3-evolution equations in Gevrey classes

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for third-order evolution differential operators with variable coefficients, depending on time $t\in [0,T]$ and space $x\in\mathbb{R}$, where the leading coefficient $a_3(t)$ vanishes at $t = 0$ with finite order. We establish sufficient conditions on the behavior of the lower order coefficients $a_j(t,x)$ $j=1,2$ as $t \to 0^{+}$ and $|x| \to \infty$ that ensure well-posedness in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})$ and Gevrey-type spaces.
