The large time asymptotics of nonlinear multichannel Schroedinger equations

Baoping Liu, Avy Soffer

TL;DR

The paper analyzes the long-time behavior of radial solutions to a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with space-localized, potentially time-dependent nonlinearities. By introducing phase-space propagation observables and exterior propagation estimates, it proves a precise asymptotic decomposition of global $H^1$ solutions into a free radiation part and a weakly localized component, with strong convergence in $H^1$. The authors develop a comprehensive microlocal framework, establish channel wave operators, and derive smoothing, Morawetz-type and analytic-projection estimates to control both the localized and dispersive channels, even in the presence of time-dependent interactions. The results advance soliton- and radiation-type descriptions for multichannel dispersive dynamics with nonlinear and time-varying influences, and they provide a robust set of tools for further multidimensional, nonautonomous dispersive analyses.

Abstract

We consider the Schroedinger equation with a general interaction term, which is localized in space. The interaction may be x, t dependent and non-linear. Purely non-linear parts of the interaction are localized via the radial Sobolev embedding. Under the assumption of radial symmetry and boundedness in H1(R3) of the solution, uniformly in time. we prove it is asymptotic in L2 (and H1) in the strong sense, to a free wave and a weakly localized solution. The general properties of the localized solutions are derived. The proof is based on the introduction of phase-space analysis of the nonlinear dispersive dynamics and relies on a new class of (exterior) a priory propagation estimates. This approach allows a unified analysis of general linear time-dependent potentials and non-linear interactions.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $\phi(t)$ be a global solution to equation Main-eq satisfying assumption (H1)(H2), then we have the following asymptotic decomposition Here $\Omega^*_f$ is the bounded nonlinear scattering wave operator, mapping the initial data to the asymptotic free wave; $\phi_{wl}$ is the weakly localized part of the solution with the following properties All estimates hold uniformly in time for $t\geq 0
