A note on local smoothing effects for the unitary group associated with the KdV equation
Abstract
In this note we show interesting local smoothing effects for the unitary group associated to Korteweg-de Vries type equation. Our main tools are the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev and Hausdorff-Young inequalities. Using our local smoothing effect and a dual version, we estimate the growth of the norm of solutions of the complex modified KdV equation.
