Extract

The initial value problem for the equation

has been studied recently as a model for long waves in nonlinear dispersive systems. Benjamin, Bona and Mahony (2) introduced this equation as an alternative to the KdV equation of Korteweg-de Vries. Hence, it is referred to as the BBM equation. They studied solutions u(x, t) of the BBM equation for t ≥ 0 and x∈(− ∞, ∞), satisfying u(x, 0) = g(x). Bona and Bryant(1) carried through the study of the BBM equation for t ≥ 0 and x ∈ [0, ∞), satisfying u(x, 0) = g(x) and u(0, t) = h(t). The aim of this paper is to study the equation

where At and Bt are mappings defined on subsets of Banach spaces, especially when At is a second order elliptic operator and B is a differential operator of lower order, defined on an unbounded subset Ω of .
