Dispersive estimate for quasi-periodic Klein-Gordon equation on 1-d lattices

Hongyu Cheng

TL;DR

This work analyzes dispersive behavior for the discrete Klein-Gordon equation on a 1D lattice with a quasi-periodic potential. The authors implement a quantitative KAM reducibility scheme for the associated Schrödinger cocycle to obtain a robust spectral representation via a spectral transform, enabling precise oscillatory-integral estimates on the spectrum. They prove a linear dispersive bound of order $\langle t\rangle^{-1/3}$ with logarithmic corrections and an energy bound under Diophantine frequencies and small analytic perturbations, and extend the analysis to a nonlinear defocusing/focusing KG equation with $\kappa>5$ to obtain small-data global well-posedness and decay, using a Duhamel contraction framework. The results illuminate long-time dynamics and stability in quasi-periodic lattice models by connecting spectral reducibility, Bloch-like transforms, and sharp time-decay estimates.

Abstract

The dispersive estimate plays a pivotal role in establishing the long-term behavior of solutions to the nonlinear equation, thereby being crucial for investigating the well-posedness of the equation.In this work we prove that the solutions to Klein-Gordon equation on 1-d lattices follow the dispersive estimate provided that potential is quasi-periodic with Diophantine frequencies and closed to positive constants.
