| contents | In this paper, we investigate the time of existence of the solutions to two full dispersion models derived from the water waves equations in the shallow water regime: the Whitham equation and a Whitham-Boussinesq system in dimension one and two. The regime is characterized by the nonlinearity parameter $ε\in(0,1]$ and the shallow water parameter $μ\in(0,1]$.
We extend the lifespan of the solution beyond the hyperbolic time $ε^{-1}$. More precisely, we establish well-posedness on the timescale of order $μ^{\frac{1}{4}^-}ε^{(-\frac{5}{4})^+}$ in the one-dimensional case, and of order $μ^{\frac{1}{4}^-}ε^{(-\frac{3}{2})^+}$ in dimension two. We emphasize that for the two-dimensional case, we obtain a time of existence of order $ε^{-\frac54}$ in the long wave regime $μ\sim ε$. This kind of result seems to be new, even for the Boussinesq systems.
The proofs combine energy methods with Strichartz estimates. Here, a key ingredient is to obtain new refined Strichartz estimates that include the small parameter $μ$. These techniques are robust and could be adapted to improve the lifespan of solutions for other equations and systems of the same form. |
