= Global existence for the energy-subcritical generalized KdV equation
{c}

For $p<5$, the one-dimensional <Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality> gives
$$
\|u\|_{p+1}^{p+1}
\lesssim\|u_x\|_2^{(p-1)/2}\|u\|_2^{(p+3)/2}.
$$
The exponent of $\|u_x\|_2$ is below two, so the conserved mass and energy control the $H^1$ norm. The blowup alternative then extends every local $H^1$ solution globally.
