Global existence and blow-up for the generalized sixth-order Boussinesq equation

In this paper we prove local well-posedness in L2(R) and H1(R) for the generalized sixth-order Boussinesq equation utt=uxx+βuxxxx+uxxxxxx+(|u|αu)xx. Our proof relies in the oscillatory integrals estimates introduced by Kenig et al. (1991) [14]. We also show that, under suitable conditions, a global solution for the initial value problem exists. In addition, we derive the sufficient conditions for the blow-up of the solution to the problem.
