We consider the Cauchy problem for the Kirchhoff equation on Td with initial data of small amplitude ϵ in Sobolev class. We prove a lower bound ϵ-4 for the existence time, which improves the bound ϵ-2 given by the standard local theory. The proof relies on a normal form transformation, preceded by a nonlinear transformation that diagonalizes the operator at the highest order, which is needed because of the quasilinear nature of the equation.

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for the Kirchhoff equation on Td with initial data of small amplitude ϵ in Sobolev class. We prove a lower bound ϵ-4 for the existence time, which improves the bound ϵ-2 given by the standard local theory. The proof relies on a normal form transformation, preceded by a nonlinear transformation that diagonalizes the operator at the highest order, which is needed because of the quasilinear nature of the equation.
