Energy scattering for nonlinear Klein-Gordon and Schrödinger equations in spatial dimensions 1 and 2 (Q1963861)

The author studies the scattering theory in the energy space for nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations \[ \boxplus u+m^2 u +|u|^{p-1} u=0 \tag{1} \] and for nonlinear Schrödinger equations \[ iu_t-\triangle u +|u|^{p-1}u=0, \tag{2} \] where \(u=u(t,x)\), \((t,x)\in \mathbb{R}^{1+n}\), \(\boxplus= \partial^2_t-\triangle\), \(m>0\), \(n\leqslant 2\) and \(p>1+ \frac{4}{n}\). He shows that when \(n=1\) and 2, the scattering operators are well-defined in the whole energy space for (1) and (2). Such results have been known only for \(n\geqslant 3\).
