Local Existence of Strong Solutions to the 3D Zakharov-Kuznestov Equation in a Bounded Domain

We consider here the local existence of strong solutions for the Zakharov-Kuznestov (ZK) equation posed in a limited domain (0,1)_{x}\times(-pi /2, pi /2)^d, d=1,2. We prove that in space dimensions 2 and 3, there exists a strong solution on a short time interval, whose length only depends on the given data. We use the parabolic regularization of the ZK equation to derive the global and local bounds independent of epsilon for various norms of the solution. In particular, we derive the local bound of the nonlinear term by a singular perturbation argument. Then we can pass to the limit and hence deduce the local existence of strong solutions.
