Abstract: We study the theory of scattering for the system consisting of a Schr"odinger equation and a wave equation with a Yukawa type coupling,in space dimension 3.We prove in particular the existence of modified wave operators for that system with no size restriction on the data and we determine the asymptotic behaviour in time of solutions in the range of the wave operators.The method consists in solving the wave equation, substituting the result into the Schr"odinger equation,which then becomes both nonlinear and nonlocal in time,and treating the latter by the method previously used for a family of generalized Hartree equations with long range interactions.


The authors study the scattering theory of a system that consists of a Schrödinger equation that interacts with a wave equation by a Yukawa type coupling. This is a long-range scattering problem. They prove the existence of the modified wave operators for general data without restriction on its size. Moreover, they determine the asymptotic behaviour for large times of the solutions with initial data in the range of the wave operators. The results are proven by extending the method previously used in the case of a family of generalized Hartree equations with long-range interaction. For this purpose they first solve the wave equation and then, they substitute the result into the Schrödinger equation, that becomes nonlinear and nonlocal in time.
