Abstract:	We prove that the flow map associated to a model equation for surface waves of moderate amplitude in shallow water is not uniformly continuous in the Sobolev space Hs with s > 3/2. The main idea is to consider two suitable sequences of smooth initial data whose difference converges to zero in Hs, but such that neither of them is convergent. Our main theorem shows that the exact solutions corresponding to these sequences of data are uniformly bounded in Hs on a uniform existence interval, but the difference of the two solution sequences is bounded away from zero in Hs at any positive time in this interval. The result is obtained by approximating the solutions corresponding to these initial data by explicit formulae and by estimating the approximation error in suitable Sobolev norms.
