Local well-posedness for the inhomogeneous biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in Sobolev spaces (Q2107781): Difference between revisions

This paper studies the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger (IBNLS) equation \begin{align*} &iu_t+\Delta^2 u=\lambda |x|^{-b}|u|^\sigma u,\ (t,x)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^d\\ &u(0,x)=u_0(x)\in H^s(\mathbb{R}^d), \end{align*} where \(d\in \mathbb{N}\), \(s \geq 0\), \(0<b<4\), \(\sigma>0\) and \(\lambda\in \mathbb{R}\). This paper investigates the well-posedness for the IBNLS equation in Sobolev spaces \(H^s(\mathbb{R}^d)\) by establishing the various delicate nonlinear estimates and using the contraction mapping principle combined with the Strichartz estimates. This type of local well-posedness result improves the ones of \textit{C. M. Guzmán} and \textit{A. Pastor} [Nonlinear Anal., Real World Appl. 56, Article ID 103174, 35 p. (2020; Zbl 1451.35185)] and \textit{X. Liu} and \textit{T. Zhang} [J. Differ. Equations 296, 335--368 (2021; Zbl 1476.35065)] by extending the validity of \(s\) and \(b\).
