Well-posedness of Cauchy problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equations in multi-dimensional spaces (Q864669)

The paper under review deals with well-posedness of the following Cauchy problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation \[ \begin{cases} i\partial_tu=-\varepsilon\Delta u +\Delta^2u+ P((\partial_x^\alpha u)_{| \alpha| \leq 2},(\partial_x^\alpha \bar u)_{| \alpha| \leq 2}),\qquad t\in \mathbb R,\;x\in \mathbb R^n,\\ u(0,x)=u_0(x). \end{cases} \] Here the wave function \(u(x,t)\) is complex-valued, \(\varepsilon\in\{-1,0,1\},\) \(n\geq2,\) \(\alpha\in\mathbb Z^n,\) and \(P(\cdot)\) is a complex-valued polynomial defined in \(\mathbb C^{n^2+3n+2}\) such that \[ P(z)=P(z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_{n^2+3n+2})=\sum_{l\leq| \beta| \leq h,\;\beta\in \mathbb Z^{n^2+3n+2}} a_\beta z^\beta,\quad \text{for }l,h\in\mathbb N, \] and there exists \(a_{\beta_0}\neq0\) for some \(\beta_0\in \mathbb Z^{n^2+3n+2}\) with \(| \beta_0| =l\geq 2.\)
