The lifespan of small data solutions to the KP-I

TL;DR

This paper proves that small, localized initial data lead to global solutions for the KP-I equation, using wave packet testing methods within a Galilean-invariant framework.

Contribution

It establishes the global existence of solutions for small data to the KP-I equation in a Galilean-invariant space, employing a novel wave packet testing approach.

Findings

Global solutions exist for small localized data in KP-I
