Description:

For many dispersive equations, decay of the initial data leads to increased regularity of the solution for positive times. The unidirectional dispersion of the k-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation produces a propagation of regularity phenomena. We show that similar results hold for fifth and higher order KdV equations, as well as for quasilinear KdV type equations.
