Abstract

We first prove that the Cauchy problem of the Kawahara equation, , is locally solvable if the initial data belong to H r (R) and , thus improving the known local well-posedness result of this equation. Next we use this local result and the method of "almost conservation law" to prove that global solutions exist if the initial data belong to H r (R) and - frac{1} {2}. $$]]>
