The global Cauchy problem for the NLS and NLKG with small rough data (Q859517)

The paper aims to prove the global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with an initial condition of a sufficiently small amplitude, and with a general form of the nonlinearity in the equation. In parallel, the same theorem is proved for the complex nonlinear Klein-Gordon (KG) equation, also with a general nonlinear term (in particular, it may be \(\sinh u - u\)). Both equations are considered in the space of arbitrary dimension. The key method used for the proof is the unit-cube decomposition of solutions in the respective Fourier spaces, and subsequent application of the Strichartz estimate. One of the existence theorems does not cover the case of the one-dimensional NLS equation, and another one applies to the NLS equation with the nonlinear term \(| u^\kappa| u\) only for \(\kappa > (1 + \sqrt{17})/2\) in the one-dimensinal case, which excludes the nonlinearity of primary interest to physical applications, namely, with \(\kappa =2\). The theorem for the complex KG equation with the same nonlinear term is proved for \(\kappa\geq 4/n\), where \(n\) is the dimension of the space.
