Abstract

We study the Benney equation and show that the associated initial-value problem is locally well-posed in Sobolev spaces Hs(ℝ2) for s > −2. Furthermore, we use a priori estimates to establish the global well-posedness for s ≥ 0. We also prove that these results are in some sense sharp. In addition, we obtain some exact travelling-wave solutions of the equation.
