1. Introduction
In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem of a three-component Novikov system which takes the form
System (1) was proposed by Li [1]; it can be derived from the following spectral problem:
where is a constant spectral parameter. The authors showed that system (1) is equivalent to the zero-curvature equation
where the spacial and temporal matrices U and V are
The authors also constructed a bi-Hamiltonian structure and infinitely many conserved quantities. Li-Hu [2] established the local well-posedness of the system in Besov spaces , and derived two blow-up criteria for the system.
For , system (1) degenerates into the following Geng-Xue (GX) system:
Mi-Mu-Tao [3] and Tang-Liu [4] established the local well-posedness of a GX system (2) in the supercritical Besov spaces and the critical Besov space . Based on the local well-posedness results of a GX system (2) in Besov spaces, Wang-Chong-Wu [5] further established nonuniform continuous dependence on initial data for a GX system (2) in Besov spaces: , and .
For , the GX system (2) degenerates into the following Degasperis–Procesi (DP) equation:
The DP Equation (3) can be regarded as a nonlinear shallow water wave dynamics model, and its asymptotic accuracy is the same as that of the Camassa–Holm (CH) shallow water system [6]. By constructing the Lax pair [7], the formal integrability of DP equation was proved, which has a bi-Hamiltonian structure and infinitely many conserved quantities. The Cauchy problem of DP Equation (3) is locally well-posed in certain Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces in [8,9,10]. Li-Yu-Zhu studied the local existence and uniqueness of the solution of the DP Equation (3) on the critical Besov space in [11], and further proved the nonuniform continuous dependence of the data-to-solution map. Zhou [12] gave the local well-posedness of the CH-DP system in the nonhomogeneous Besov spaces and the critical Besov space by using the transport equation theory and the classical Friedrichs regularization method. Zhu-Li-Li [13] proved the ill-posedness of the two-component DP system in the Besov space .
When , the GX system (2) degenerates into the following Novikov equation:
Novikov Equation (4) is a new integrabe equation with cubic nonlinearities derived by Novikov [14]. It has similar properties to the CH equation, such as a Lax pair in matrix form and a bi-Hamiltonian structure, it is integrable in the with infinitely many conserved quantities, and admits peakon solutions given by the formula [15]. The local well-posedness, global existence, and asymptotic behavior of the Novikov Equation (4) in Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces were established in [16,17,18,19,20]. Ni-Zhou established the local well-posedness in the critical Besov space in [17]. Yan-Li-Zhang generalized well-posed spaces to a larger class of Besov spaces , and the local well-posedness was proved to be invalid in Besov space by using the peakon traveling wave solution in [20]. Li-Yu-Zhu [21] established the ill-posedness of the Novikov Equation (4) in Besov spaces . Subsequently, Wu-Li extended the above results to the following two-component Novikov system in [22].
Wu-Li proved that the two-component Novikov system (5) is ill-posed in Besov spaces by constructing the initial data in [22]. The result of the nonuniform continuous dependence of the two-component Novikov system (5) was established by Wu-Cao in [23].
The inverse scattering approach is a powerful tool to study the CH equation and analyze its dynamics [24]. The inverse scattering transform (IST) problem of the CH equation is a complicated issue [25]. An algorithm was proposed by Constantin and Lenells in [26] and slightly modificated in [27] to solve the inverse scattering problem for the CH equation; while other approaches were subsequently introduced [28], this method turns out to be quite effective in giving a closed form to the CH solitary waves. The IST method for the DP Equation (3) was presented in [29]; the basic aspects of the IST such as the construction of fundamental analytic solutions, the formulation of a Riemann–Hilbert (RH) problem, and the implementation of the dressing method were introduced. The authors in [30] developed the IST method for the Novikov Equation (4) in the case of nonzero constant background; the approach was based on the analysis of an associated RH problem, which in this case was a matrix problem. A new IST method corresponding to a RH problem was also formulated for the two-component generalization of the CH equation [31].
From the above discussion, it can be seen that the nonuniform dependence and well-posedness results of the GX system (2), DP Equation (3), Novikov equation (4), and the two-component Novikov system (5), have been established in Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces. However, the ill-posedness for the three-component Novikov system (1) has yet to be systematically addressed. Using the ideas in [22,32,33], based on the existing results, we investigate ill-posedness of the solution for the system (1) in Besov spaces.
To facilitate the proof of the main result, we rewrite (1) into the following equivalent nonlocal form:
where
where we denote by ∗ the convolution, for all ,
We can now state our main result as follows.
Theorem 1.
Remark 1.
Theorem 1 demonstrates the ill-posedness of the three-component Novikov system in . More precisely, there exists initial data such that corresponding solution to the Cauchy problem (6) that starts from does not converge back to in the metric of as time goes to zero.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we list some basic concepts and useful lemmas, which will be frequently used in proving our main results.
Denote and by the Fourier transform and the Fourier inverse transform, respectively, as follows:
For any and all , define for ; ; for ; and .
Let . We define the nonhomogeneous Besov space as

and
3. Proof of Theorem 1
In this section, we prove Theorem 1. Similar to the discussion in [21], the following lemma can be illustrated.
Lemma 5.
Let , and define the function by
Then we have
The proof of the above lemma is similar to that of [21], which is omitted here.
For , define the initial data as
In order to prove Theorem 1, we first give some estimation results.
Lemma 6.
Let . Then for the above constructed initial data , we have
for some large enough n.
Proof.
We just show (10) here, since (11) and (12) can be performed in a similar way. Firstly, according to Lemma 5, we derive that
therefore,
Thus, we have
Since and are real-valued continuous functions on , then there exists some , such that
Thus, we have from (13)
We choose n large enough such that and then finish the proof of (10). □
Proposition 1.
Proof.
For , according to the local existence result [33], the Cauchy problem (6) has a unique solution:
and satisfies the following estimate:
Using the differential mean value theorem, the Minkowski inequality, (1) and (2) of Lemma 1, we deduce that
Thus, we complete the proof of (14). Next we will present the proof of (15).
Thus, (15) is proved and (16) can be proved in a similar manner. Next, we will give the proof of (17).
Thereafter, we shall present the proof of (18).
Similarly, we can obtain (19). Following this, we will furnish the evidence for (20).
Equation (21) can be verified similarly. Thus, we complete the proof of Proposition 1. □
Proposition 2.
where
Let with . Assume that is the solution of the Cauchy problem (6); we have
Proof.
For simplicity, denote
Combining the differential mean value theorem and the Minkowski inequality, we arrive at
Note that
We can deduce
Analogously,
For the second term , since
there holds
For the third term , since
We obtain
Substituting (28)–(30) into (26), we derive
Thus, we finish the proof of (23). Next, we intend to establish the proof of (24).
For the first term , since
We can perform the following estimate:
By applying Lemma 1, one obtains
For the term , it can be resolved into
We can find that
For the term , since
we arrive at
For the term , it can be decomposed as
which gives us that
Finally, for the term , since
we can derive
Inserting (35)–(41) into (33), we obtain
Thus, the proof of (24) is complete. Similarly, we can prove (25). □
With Lemma 5, Proposition 1, and Proposition 2 at hand, we will proceed to verify Theorem 1.
Proof of Theorem 1.
By the definition of the Besov norm, we have
Since
With the aid of Lemma 3, we infer that
Inserting (43)–(45) into (42), we obtain
Making full use of (12) of Lemma 6, and (23) of Proposition 2, we draw the conclusion that
For , choosing n large enough such that , we have
As time t tends to zero, picking t sufficiently small such that , one can easily check that
Similarly, by the definition of the Besov norm, we have
Since
By the same token, we have
Integrating (47)–(51) into (46), and repeating the discussion on , there then exist such that
Picking , this completes the proof of Theorem 1. □
