Abstract

We prove that the Korteweg-de Vries initial-value problem is globally well-posed in H- 3 / 4 (R) and the modified Korteweg-de Vries initial-value problem is globally well-posed in H1 / 4 (R). The new ingredient is that we use directly the contraction principle to prove local well-posedness for KdV equation in H- 3 / 4 by constructing some special resolution spaces in order to avoid some logarithmic divergence from the high-high interactions. Our local solution has almost the same properties as those for Hs (s > - 3 / 4) solution which enable us to apply the I-method to extend it to a global solution.
