The so-called wave-maker problem for the $BBM$-equation is studied on the half-line. Improving on earlier results, global well-posedness is established for square-integrable initial data and boundary data that is only assumed to be locally bounded.
Keywords: BBM equation, wave-maker problem, initial-boundary-value problems, nonlinear dispersive wave equations., Long wave propagation.
