Title: The Cauchy Problem for Dissipative Benjamin-Ono equation in Weighted Sobolev spaces
Abstract: We study the well-posedness in weighted Sobolev spaces, for the initial value problem (IVP) associated with the dissipative Benjamin-Ono (dBO) equation. We establish persistence properties of the solution flow in the weighted Sobolev spaces $\z_{s,r}=H^s(\R)\cap L^2(|x|^{2r}dx)$, $s\geq r>0$. We also prove some unique continuation properties in these spaces. In particular, such results of unique continuation show that our results of well posedness are sharp.
