Exponential sums and nonlinear Schrödinger equations (Q1261153): Difference between revisions

A global result is given for the Cauchy problem, in space dimension \(n=4\), of the Schrödinger equation \[ i \partial_ tu+\Delta u+uF(| u |^ 2)=0,\;u \text{ periodic in } x,\;u(x,0)=\varphi(x), \] \(\varphi \in H^ 2(\mathbb{R}^ 4/ \mathbb{Z}^ 4)\), \(\| \varphi \|_ 2\) small, \(F(z)\leq cz^{1/2}\), \(| F'(z)| \leq Cz^{-1/2}\), \(| F''(z)| \leq Cz^{-3/2}\). The global wellposedness is derived from the local wellposedness and the conservation laws. The local result is based on Picard's fixed point method, using the associated integral equation.
