AbstractIn this paper, coupled systemsof Korteweg-de Vries type are considered, whereu=u(x, t),v=v(x, t) are real-valued functions and wherex, t∈R. Here, subscripts connote partial differentiation andare quadratic polynomials in the variablesuandv. Attention is given to the pure initial-value problem in whichu(x, t) andv(x, t) are both specified att= 0, namely,forx∈ ℝ. Under suitable conditions onPandQ, global well-posedness of this problem is established for initial data in theL2-based Sobolev spacesHs(ℝ) ×Hs(ℝ) for anys> ‒3/4.
