Abstract
In this paper, we study the low regularity convergence problem for the intermediate long wave equation (ILW), with respect to the depth parameter δ > 0, on the real line and the circle. As a natural bridge between the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and the Benjamin–Ono (BO) equations, the ILW equation is of physical interest. We prove that the solutions of ILW converge in the Hs
