Abstract

We consider the Benjamin–Ono equation on the torus with an additional damping term on the smallest Fourier modes (\(\cos \) and \(\sin \)). We first prove global well-posedness of this equation in \(L^2_{r,0}(\mathbb {T})\). Then, we describe the weak limit points of the trajectories in \(L^2_{r,0}(\mathbb {T})\) when time goes to infinity, and show that these weak limit points are strong limit points. Finally, we prove the boundedness of higher-order Sobolev norms for this equation. Our key tool is the Birkhoff map for the Benjamin–Ono equation, that we use as an adapted nonlinear Fourier transform.
