Title: Global classical solutions to equatorial shallow-water equations Authors: Yue Fang (Ocean Univ. of China, Qingdao, China) Kaiqiang Li (Yantai Univ., Yantai, China) Xin Xu (Ocean Univ. of China, Qingdao, China) Abstract: In this article, we study the equatorial shallow-water equations with slip boundary condition in a bounded domain. By exploring the dissipative structures of the system, we obtaining a priori estimates of the solution for small initial data. Then the existence of classical global solutions and exponential stability results are given. Submitted April 20, 2023. Published September 21, 2023.
