This paper considers the IBVP of the Rosenau equation ∂ t u + ∂ t ∂ 4 x u + ∂ x u + u∂ x u = 0, x ∈ (0, 1), t > 0, u(0, x) = u 0 (x) u(0, t) = ∂ 2 x u(0, t) = 0, u(1, t) = ∂ 2 x u(1, t) = 0. It is proved that this IBVP has a unique global distributional solution u ∈ C([0, T ]; H s (0, 1)) as initial data u 0 ∈ H s (0, 1) with s ∈ [0, 4]. This is a new global well-posedness result on IBVP of the Rosenau equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
