Daspan and Michael M. Tom Received 26 January 2007; Accepted 17 May 2007 Recommended by Nils Ackermann It is shown that the solutions of the pure initial-value problem for the KP and regularized KP equations are the same, within the order of accuracy attributable to either, on the time scale 0 ≤ t ≤ −3/ 2 , during which nonlinear and dispersive effects may accumulate to make an order-one relative difference to the wave profiles.

Introduction Bona et al. [1] compared the solutions of the Cauchy problem of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) Pt + Px + PPx + Pxxx = 0 (1.1) and the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation Qt + Qx + QQx − Qxxt = 0. (1.2) In (1.1) and (1.2), P and Q are functions of two real variables x and t. Such equations have been derived as models for nonlinear dispersive waves in many different physical contexts, and in most cases where they arise, x is proportional to dis- tance measured in the direction of wave propagation, while t is proportional to elapsed time. Interest is often focused on the pure initial-value problem for ( 1.1) and (1.2) in which P and Q are specified for all real x at some beginning value of t, say t = 0, and then the evolution equation is solved for t ≥ 0 subject to the restriction that the solution re- spects the given initial condition. The thrust of their theory was that for suitably restr
