The Cauchy problem in local spaces for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. I: Compactness methods (Q1922734)

It is studied the Cauchy problem for the equation \[ \partial_t u = \gamma u +(a+ i \alpha) \Delta u - (b + i \beta u g(|u|^2), \] \(a>0\), \(b>0\), \(g \geq 0\), in arbitrary spatial dimension. The initial data and the solutions under consideration belong to local spaces, without any restriction at infinity. It is proved the existence of solution globally defined in time with local regularity corresponding to \(L^r\), \(r \geq 2\), and \(H^1\). Some uniqueness results are presented as well.
