We consider the Cauchy problem of the higher-order KdV-type equation:

$ \partial_t u + \frac{1}{ {\mathfrak{m}}} | \partial_x|^{ {\mathfrak{m}}-1} \partial_x u = \partial_x (u^{ {\mathfrak{m}}}) $

where

$ {\mathfrak{m}} \ge 4 $

. The nonlinearity is critical in the sense of long-time behavior. Using the method of testing by wave packets, we prove that there exists a unique global solution of the Cauchy problem satisfying the same time decay estimate as that of linear solutions. Moreover, we divide the long-time behavior of the solution into three distinct regions.

Keywords: Higher-order KdV-type equation, asymptotic behavior, critical nonlinearity, self-similar solution.
