TL;DR
This work proves global-in-time well-posedness for the one-dimensional hydrodynamic Gross-Pitaevskii equations without vacuum by reducing to the classical GP equation via the Madelung transform. The authors establish a local bilipschitz equivalence between the GP function space (X^s,d^s) and the hydrodynamic space (Y^s,θ^s) for s>1/2, enabling transfer of GP well-posedness results to the hydrodynamic formulation. Global well-posedness for the hydrodynamic system is obtained in (1+H^s)×H^{s-1} with s≥1 under the energy bound E<4/3 (with a small-energy μ-variant), guaranteeing absence of vacuum for all times. The approach provides a robust framework connecting quantum hydrodynamics and nonlinear Schrödinger dynamics in 1D, with potential extensions to lower regularity regimes and broader energy regimes.
Abstract
We establish global-in-time well-posedness of the one-dimensional hydrodynamic Gross-Pitaevskii equations in the absence of vacuum in $(1 + H^s) \times H^{s-1}$ with $s \geq 1$. We achieve this by a reduction via the Madelung transform to the previous global-in-time well-posedness result for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in arXiv:1801.08386v2 [math.AP] and arXiv:2204.06293v1 [math.AP]. Our core result is a local bilipschitz equivalence between the relevant function spaces.
