Résumé

We study the large-time behaviour of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a modified Whitham equation, $$ \begin{cases} u_{t}+i\mathbf{\Lambda}u-\partial_{x}u^3=0, (t,x) \in\mathbb{R}^2, \\ u(0,x)=u_0(x), \in \mathbb{R}, \end{cases} $$ where the pseudodifferential operator $\mathbf{\Lambda}\equiv \Lambda (-i\partial_{x})=\mathcal{F}^{-1}[\Lambda (\xi) \mathcal{F}]$ is given by the symbol $$ \Lambda (\xi)=a^{-{1}/{2}}\xi \biggl(\sqrt{(1+a^2\xi^2) \frac{\operatorname{tanh}a\xi}{a\xi}\,}-1\biggr) $$ with a parameter $a>0$. This symbol corresponds to the total dispersion relation for water waves taking surface tension into account. Assuming that the total mass of the initial data is equal to zero ($\int_{\mathbb{R}}u_0(x)\,dx=0$) and the initial data $u_0$ are small in the norm of $\mathbf{H}^{\nu}(\mathbb{R}) \cap \mathbf{H}^{0,1}(\mathbb{R})$, $\nu \geqslant 22$, we prove the existence of a global-in-time solution and describe its large-time asymptotic behaviour.

Keywords: Whitham equation, critical non-linearity, large-time asymptotics.
