Small solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the Sobolev spaces (Q1591328): Difference between revisions

The Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form \[ i\partial_tu+\Delta u=f(u) \] is considered in space-time. The purpose of the paper is to study the \(H^s\)-theory with \(s>n/2\) and to specify admissible behaviour of the nonlinearity and minimal requirements on the smallness of the Cauchy data to ensure the existence and uniqueness of global \(H^s\)-solutions. These conditions are as follows. (1) The Cauchy data \(\phi\in H^s\) satisfies the assumption that \(||\phi; L^2||\) is relatively small with respect to \(||\phi; \dot H^{\sigma}||\) for any fixed \(\sigma\) with \(n/2<\sigma\leq s\). (2) The nonlinear interaction \(f\) behaves as a conformal power \(u^{1+4/n}\) near zero and has an arbitrary growth rate at infinity. The scattering operator for the free propagator \(U(t)=\exp(it\Delta)\) is constructed.
