Well-posedness and Continuity Properties of the Fornberg-Whitham Equation in Besov Spaces

In this paper, we prove well-posedness of the Fornberg-Whitham equation in Besov spaces $B_{2,r}^s$ in both the periodic and non-periodic cases. This will imply the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the aforementioned spaces along with the continuity of the data-to-solution map provided that the initial data belongs to $B_{2,r}^s $. We also establish sharpness of continuity on the data-to-solution map by showing that it is not uniformly continuous from any bounded subset of $B_{2,r}^s$ to $C([-T,T]; B^s_{2,r})$. Furthermore, we prove a Cauchy-Kowalevski type theorem for this equation that establishes the existence and uniqueness of real analytic solutions and also provide blow-up criterion for solutions.
