Preface

The sole purpose of science is the glory of human spirit. J. Jacobi

—— C. G.

During the past thirty years, the nonlinear evolution equations (NLE) have made a great progress by using the harmonic analysis techniques. This book is devoted to introduce the harmonic analysis method for NLE, which is based on lectures given by B. X. Wang at the Peking University during the past seven years. In order to solve an NLE, one needs to choose suitable function spaces as working spaces. It is well known that most function spaces are established by using the Lebesgue integrals as basic tools. However, the Lebesgue integration was not recognized to be of importance in its early stage. As long as Lebesgue attempted to attend a conference, some mathematicians working in analysis said to him: “This is not interested for you, we are discussing the differentiable functions.”, and some experts engaged in geometry told him: “We are talking the surface which has a tangent plane.” One can imagine how Lebesgue was hurt inside. New ideas are usually not so easy to grow up and mathematics brings mathematicians too much sadness and blessedness, which is hard to express by languages. However, the authors believe that, at least from the local history point of view, many important progresses for nonlinear evolution equations have brought us a series of perpetual surprises over the recent thirty years. The harmonic analysis techniques of NLE can be gone back to the pioneering work of R. S. Strichartz in 1977 who discovered the time-space decay of the solutions of the linear wave equation, so called the Strichartz inequality, which is now a fundamental tool in the study of nonlinear dispersive equations. Since 1980s, the NLE, especially the nonlinear dispersive equations have gained a great development by using the harmonic analysis techniques. vii

Preface

On the other hand, the theory of harmonic analysis is also promoted by the study of NLE. J. Bourgain in 1993 systematically developed the X s,b method which is powerful in handling the derivative nonlinearity in nonlinear dispersive equations, where the X s,b space was previously discovered by J. Rauch, M. Reed and M. Beals for the wave equation. J. Bourgain in 1999 invented the method, so called “separation of the localized energy”, to study the energy scattering of nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations. The “I-method” was introduced by T. Tao’s group to study the global wellposedness of nonlinear dispersive equations for a class of initial data with lower regularities. C. E. Kenig and F. Merle developed the concentration compactness method to study the sharp well posedness and scattering for the focusing nonlinear dispersive equations. Recently, the frequency-uniform decomposition techniques are also applied in the study of NLE. A poem describes the current status of the harmonic analysis techniques of NLE: Resonance to a Book1

—Xi Zhu A square of pool likes an opening mirror Blue sky and white cloud map in it, freely wander Why is the pond crystal and bottomed out It is from the source of alive water More precisely, we will study a class of nonlinear dispersive equations, such as nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations, nonlinear Klein-Gordon eqautions, KdV equations, as well as the Navier-Stokes equations and the Boltzmann equation. As the first book of this series we will mainly study the local and global wellposedness to the Cauchy problem for those equations. In Chapter 1 we briefly introduce the theories of various function spaces, say Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. In Chapter 2 we study the NavierStokes equation by using the Littlewood-Paley decomposition to establish some time-space estimates for the linear heat equation. Strichartz type estimates for a class of linear dispersive equations will be systematically set up in Chapter 3. Applying those Strichartz’ inequalities, in Chapter 4 we will consider the wellposedness of the solutions of nonlinear Schr¨odinger and Klein-Gordon equations. In Chapter 5 we introduce the X s,b -method and study the KdV and derivative Schr¨odinger equations. In Chapter 6 we introduce the frequency-uniform decomposition method. It is known that 1A

Morawetz’ estimates are basic tools for the scattering theory of nonlinear dispersive equations, which will be summarized in Chapter 7 for nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations. Finally, in Chapter 8 we introduce some fundamental results for the Boltzmann equation. Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are written by B. X. Wang, Chapter 5 is written by Z. H. Guo and Z. H. Huo, Chapter 7 is written by C. C. Hao and Chapter 8 is written by Z. H. Huo. Many results in Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been reproved or simplified by the authors. The authors would like to genuinely thank Professors Yulin Zhou, Hesheng Sun, Boling Guo, Ling Hsiao, Lizhong Peng and Carlos E. Kenig for their constant supports and they are grateful to Professors Kong Ching Chang, Weiyue Ding and Gang Tian for their helps. B. X.

Chapter 1 s Fourier multiplier, function space Xp,q

The intensive study to the nature is the most plentiful source for the mathematical discovery. —— J. Fourier1

In this chapter we begin by considering the Fourier transform on the Schwartz space S and its dual space S 0 , the material on Fourier transforms is standard and our treatment here will be sketched, see Stein [202], Yosida [256] for instance. On the basis of the Fourier transform, we introduce s s the Fourier multiplier space Mp , Besov spaces Bp,q and Triebel spaces Fp,q and then discuss their elementary properties. The embeddings between these function spaces are very useful in the study of partial differential equations. For the convenience to the readers, we give a self-contained treatment to the theory of function spaces. For some further results on function spaces, one can refer to [13; 224]. Some notations are well-known for readers and not stated in the text, which will be listed in the Appendix A. For convenience to readers, we would like to remind some important relations between Triebel-Lizorkin, Bessel potential spaces Hps (H s = H2s ) and Sobolev spaces Wpm with m ∈ Z+ : s s Fp,2 = Hps , Hpm = Wpm , F2,2 = H s , ∀ s ∈ R, m ∈ Z+ , 1 < p < ∞.

1.1

Schwartz space, tempered distribution, Fourier transform

Let α = (α1 , ..., αn ) be a multi-index, denote Dα = ∂xα11 ...∂xαnn ,

i ∂xαii = ∂ αi /∂xα i , |α| = α1 + ... + αn ,

αn 1 xα = xα 1 ...xn .

1 Joseph Fourier (1768–1830), a French mathematician and physicist, is best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series and their application to problems of the heat transfer. He is also generally credited with the discovery of the greenhouse effect. He is one of the authority in French analysis school.

We denote by C ∞ (Rn ) the set of all infinitely differentiable functions defined on Rn . Denote S = {φ ∈ C ∞ (Rn ) : pk (φ) < ∞}, X pk (φ) = sup (1 + |x|2 )k/2 |Dα φ(x)|. x∈Rn

(1.1)

|α|6k

It is easy to see that pk (·) is a norm on S and so, it is a semi-norm on S . From the theory of the linear topology, S generates a locally convex linear topological space according to the semi-norm system {pk }∞ k=0 , which is said to be the Schwartz space, any function in S is said to be a Schwartz function. The base of zero neighborhoods of S is Bk,ε = {φ ∈ S : pk (φ) < ε}, k ∈ Z+ = {0, 1, 2, ...}, ε > 0.

We denote by S 0 := S 0 (Rn ) the dual space of S and it is a locally convex linear topological space, which is said to be a tempered distribution space. The base of zero neighborhoods of S 0 is ( ) UB,ε =

f ∈ S : sup |f (φ)| < ε , φ∈B

where B is a bounded set in S . Let φ, ψ ∈ S , the Fourier (inverse) transform is defined as follows. Z −n/2 b φ(ξ) = (F φ)(ξ) = (2π) e−ix·ξ φ(x)dx, Rn Z ˇ ψ(x) = (F −1 ψ)(x) = (2π)−n/2 eix·ξ ψ(ξ)dξ, (1.2) Rn

where x · ξ = x1 ξ1 + ... + xn ξn (if there is no confusion, we will write x·ξ = xξ). S plays a crucial role in the theory of the Fourier analysis, which is compatible with the Fourier transform. In fact, we have the following Proposition 1.1. Let φ ∈ S . Then we have α φ(ξ) = i|α| ξ α φ(ξ), d b D

F −1 (F φ) = φ.

α φ(ξ), b = (−i)|α| xd Dα φ(ξ)

Moreover, F (F −1 ) : S → S is a continuously linear bijection, i.e., an isomorphism. Proposition 1.2. Let φ, ψ ∈ S . Then Z Z b φ(x)ψ(x)dx = Rn

We define the convolution φ ∗ ψ on S in the following way Z φ ∗ ψ(x) = φ(x − y)ψ(y)dy. Rn

Proposition 1.3. Let φ, ψ ∈ S . Then b φ[ ∗ ψ = (2π)n/2 φb · ψ,

b φd · ψ = (2π)−n/2 φb ∗ ψ.

We denote by σλ and τh the dilation and the translation operators: σλ φ = φ(λ·),

λ ∈ R \ {0},

τh φ = φ(· − h), h ∈ Rn .

Proposition 1.4. Let φ ∈ S , λ ∈ R \ {0}, h ∈ Rn . Then −ihξ b τd φ, hφ = e ihx φ = τ φ, b e[ h

−n b σd (σ1/λ φ). λ φ = |λ|

For the proofs of the above propositions, except that the proof of F −1 φb = φ needs a special technique, say 2 −|x|2 /2 = e−|ξ| /2 , e\

the other proofs are easily obtained. In the following we consider the Fourier transform of f ∈ S 0 . Inspired by Proposition 1.2, we define fb as follows. b (F f )(φ) = fb(φ) = f (φ), φ ∈ S, −1 ˇ ˇ (F f )(φ) = f (φ) = f (φ), φ ∈ S .

Proposition 1.5. F : S 0 → S 0 is a continuously linear bijection map, i.e., an isomorphism. Now we can define the convolution of f ∈ S 0 and φ ∈ S . Let us recall that for any f, φ, ψ ∈ S , we have Z Z (f ∗ φ)(x)ψ(x)dx = f (x)(φ˜ ∗ ψ)(x)dx, Rn

Rn

where φ˜ = φ(−·). Following this idea, we define (f ∗ φ)(ψ) = f (φ˜ ∗ ψ),

f ∈ S 0 , φ, ψ ∈ S .

Taking notice of the definition of the Fourier transform and the convolution operator on S 0 , we can generalize the other operators to S 0 . We

first investigate the corresponding operation for Schwartz functions, which can be converted to an integral operation. Then taking into account the abstract form of this integration operation, we can generalize the operation to S 0 . Let f ∈ S 0 , we define Dα f (φ) := f ((−D)α φ), τh f (φ) := f (τ−h φ),

h ∈ Rn ,

σλ f (φ) := f (λ−n σ1/λ φ),

λ > 0.

It is known that f ∈ S does not mean that f is a function, the following result indicates that the convolution of f and a Schwartz function must be an infinitely differentiable function. Proposition 1.6. Let f ∈ S 0 and φ ∈ S . Then f ∗ φ is an infinitely differentiable function and ˜ (f ∗ φ)(x) = f (τx φ). Moreover, f ∗ φ grows at most in a polynomial way, i.e., for any α ∈ Zn+ there exists a polynomial Pα , such that |Dα (f ∗ φ)(x)| 6 Pα (x), x ∈ Rn . Proposition 1.7 (Paley-Wiener-Schwartz theorem). (1) φ ∈ S and supp φb ⊂ {ξ : |ξ| 6 b} if and only if, φ(z) (z = x + iy) is an entire analytic function of n complex variables and for any ε > 0, λ > 0, there exists Cε,λ > 0, such that |φ(z)| 6 Cε,λ (1 + |x|)−λ e(b+ε)|y| , x, y ∈ Rn .

(2) f ∈ S 0 and supp fb ⊂ {ξ : |ξ| 6 b} if and only if, f (z) (z = x + iy) is an entire analytic function of n complex variables and for some λ ∈ R and for any ε > 0, there exists Cε > 0 such that |f (z)| 6 Cε (1 + |x|)λ e(b+ε)|y| , x, y ∈ Rn .

Proposition 1.7 is a fundamental result in the framework of the Fourier analysis, which says that if the Fourier transform of a tempered distribution f has a compact support, then it is an analytic function. 1.2

Fourier multiplier on Lp

We denote by Lp := Lp (Rn ) the Lebesgue space, 1 6 p 6 ∞, the norm on Lp is written as k · kp . Let us consider the linear heat equation in Lp , ut − 4u = 0,

u|t=0 = u0 .

It is easy to see that u = F −1 e−t|ξ| F u0 =: H(t)u0 is the solution of (1.3). For any u0 ∈ Lp , we want to know if H(t)u0 also belongs to Lp . More precisely, does 2

kF −1 e−t|ξ| F u0 kp . ku0 kp ,

(1.4)

hold for all u0 ∈ Lp ? The answer is affirmative (see Chapter 2). One can generalize (1.4) to the following notion. Definition 1.1. Let ρ ∈ S 0 . If there exists C > 0 such that2 kF −1 ρF f kp 6 Ckf kp ,

∀ f ∈ S,

(1.5)

then ρ is said to be a multiplier on Lp . The set of all multipliers on Lp is denoted by Mp , for which the norm is given by kρkMp = sup{kF −1 ρF f kp : f ∈ S , kf kp = 1}.

(1.6)

If ρ ∈ Mp , 1 6 p < ∞, since S is dense in Lp , one can extend F −1 ρF into a bounded operator on Lp and the norm of the extension operator is preserved. The extension operator is still written as F −1 ρF or (F −1 ρ)∗. The multiplier theory is a fundamental tool in the harmonic analysis, and very useful in the definition of various function spaces. In what follows we discuss some basic properties of the multiplier space Mp . Proposition 1.8. Let 1 6 p 6 q 6 2. Then we have (1) (2) (3) (4)

Mp = Mp0 , k · kMp = k · kMp0 ; Mp ⊂ Mq , k · kMq 6 k · kMp ; M2 = L∞ , k · kM2 = k · k∞ ; M1 = {ρ ∈ S 0 : F −1 ρ is a bounded measure}, kρkM1 equals the total variation of F −1 ρ.

Proof. First, we prove (1). Let ρ ∈ Mp . For any f, g ∈ S , kf kp = kgkp0 = 1, we have3 |(F −1 ρF f, g)| 6 kF −1 ρF f kp kgkp0 6 kρkMp .

(1.7)

Noticing that (F −1 ρF f, g) = (F −1 ρ ∗ f ∗ e g )(0), we see that (1.7) implies 0 F −1 ρF g ∈ Lp and ρ ∈ Mp0 with kρkMp0 6 kρkMp . It follows that (1) holds true. 2 Notice

that F −1 ρF f = (F −1 ρ) ∗ f , in view of Proposition 1.6, we see that F −1 ρF f is a smoothRfunction for any f ∈ S . 3 (f, g) = f (x)g(x)dx.

Secondly, we show the result of (2). Due to 1 6 p 6 q 6 2, we see that p0 > 2. So, one can choose θ ∈ [0, 1] satisfying 1/q = (1 − θ)/p + θ/p0 . If ρ ∈ Mp , in view of (1) we have ρ ∈ Mp0 . Namely, 0

are both bounded operators. It follows from Riesz-Thorin’s interpolation theorem (see Appendix) that F −1 ρF : Lq → Lq is bounded and θ kρkMq 6 kρk1−θ Mp kρkMp0 = kρkMp .

Thirdly, we prove (3). If ρ ∈ M2 , by Plancherel’s identity, kF −1 ρF f k2 = kρF f k2 6 kρk∞ kf k2 .

(1.10)

So, kρkM2 6 kρk∞ . Conversely, for any ε > 0, one can take a non-zero measurable closed subset E of Rn , satisfying |ρ(ξ)| > kρk∞ − ε in E. Let f ∈ L2 satisfy supp F f ⊂ E. It follows that kρkM2 > kρk∞ − ε. Finally, we show that (4) holds. By the translation property of F −1 ρF , we easily see that ρ ∈ M∞ if and only if |(F −1 ρ ∗ f )(0)| = (2π)n/2 |(F −1 ρF f )(0)| 6 Ckf k∞ ,

∀ f ∈ S . (1.11)

Noticing that S is dense in C0 (Rn ), from (1.11) and Proposition 1.6 one sees that F −1 ρ is a continuous functional on C0 (Rn )4 . From the construc tion of C0 (Rn )∗ , one has the result. Proposition 1.9. Mp is a Banach algebra.

Proof. Obviously, k · kMp is a norm. By (3) in Proposition 1.8, one sees that Mp ⊂ L∞ . If {ρk } is a Cauchy sequence in Mp , so does in L∞ . We may assume, without loss of generality that it converges to ρ in L∞ . Since L∞ ⊂ S 0 , we conclude that for any f ∈ S , F −1 ρk F f → F −1 ρF f according to the strong topology on S 0 . Recalling that F −1 ρk F f is a Cauchy sequence in Lp ⊂ S 0 , it has a limit ponit g. By the uniqueness of the limit in S 0 one obtains that g = F −1 ρF f . So, kρk − ρkMp → 0 as k → ∞. It follows that Mp is a Banach space. Let ρ1 , ρ2 ∈ Mp . For any f ∈ S , we have kF −1 ρ1 ρ2 F f kp 6 kρ1 kMp kF −1 ρ2 F f kp 6 kρ1 kMp kρ2 kMp kf kp ,

(1.12)

which implies that ρ1 ρ2 ∈ Mp and kρ1 ρ2 kMp 6 kρ1 kMp kρ2 kMp . Hence, Mp is a Banach algebra. 4 We

(1.13)

denote by C0 (Rn ) the space of all continuous functions f (x) that vanish as x → ∞.

In order to emphasize that Mp depends on Rn , we write Mp = Mp (Rn ). The following proposition indicates that Mp (Rn ) is isometrically invariant under affine transforms5 of Rn . Proposition 1.10. Let a : Rn → Rm (n > m) be a surjective affine transform, and ρ ∈ Mp (Rm ). Then In particular,

kρ(a(·))kMp (Rn ) = kρkMp (Rm ) .

kρ(c ·)kMp (Rn ) = kρkMp (Rn ) ,

kρ(hx, ·i)kMp (Rn ) = kρkMp (R) , Pn where hx, ξi = i=1 xi ξi .

c 6= 0;

x 6= 0,

(1.14) (1.15) (1.16)

Proof. It suffices to consider the case that a : Rn → Rm is a linear transform. Make the coordinate transformation ηi = ai (ξ), 1 6 i 6 m;

ηj = ξj , m + 1 6 j 6 n,

(1.17)

−1

which is written as η = A ξ or ξ = Aη. Let A∗ be the transposed matrix of A. It is easy to see, for any f ∈ S , that F −1 ρ(a(ξ))F f = F −1 ρ(η1 , ..., ηm )F f (A−1 (1.18) ∗ ·) (A∗ ·). It follows from ρ ∈ Mp (Rm ) that for any f ∈ S

kF −1 ρ(a(·))F f kLp (Rn ) = |A|−1 kF −1 ρF f (A−1 ∗ ·)kLp (Rn ) 6 kρkMp (Rm ) kf kLp(Rn ) .

Thus, we have

kρ(a(·))kMp (Rn ) 6 kρkMp (Rm ) .

(1.19) (1.20)

Taking f (A−1 ∗ ·) = f1 (x1 , ..., xm )f2 (xm+1 , ..., xn ), one can conclude that the inverse inequality of (1.20) also holds. In the following we give some criteria how to determine the multiplier in Lp . Proposition 1.11 (Bernstein multiplier theorem). Let L > n/2 be an integer, ∂xαi ρ ∈ L2 , i = 1, ..., n and 0 6 α 6 L.

Dyadic decomposition, Besov and Triebel spaces Ingenious ideas are usually beautiful and resonating ideas, the dyadic decomposition is one of them.

We consider the decomposition on Rn , R0 = {ξ : |ξ| < 1},

Rk = {ξ : 2k−1 6 |ξ| < 2k },

k ∈ N.

(1.27)

It is easy to see that {Rk }∞ k=0 is a pairwise disjoint sequence ∞ ∪∞ R , namely, {R } constitutes a decomposition of Rn . k k=0 k=0 k

and Rn = According to this decomposition, we can roughly define the Littlewood-Paley decomposition operators in the following way 4k ∼ F −1 χRk F , k ∈ N ∪ {0},

where χRk denotes the characteristic function on Rk . The dyadic decomposition operator is a frequency-localized operator, which is one of the most delicate and clever ideas in harmonic analysis. If 4k takes the form as in (1.28), it has an advantage that 4k ’s (k > 0) orthogonalize each other, but the characteristic function in (1.28) has no smoothness and it is hard to use. In order to make multiplier calculations, we need to adopt the smooth version of (1.28). Let ψ : Rn → [0, 1] be a smooth radial cut-off function, say  |ξ| 6 1,  1, ψ(ξ) = smooth, 1 < |ξ| < 2, (1.29)  0, |ξ| > 2. Denote

ϕ(ξ) = ψ(ξ) − ψ(2ξ), and we introduce the function sequence {ϕk }∞ k=0 : ϕk (ξ) = ϕ(2−k ξ), k ∈ N, P∞ ϕ0 (ξ) = 1 − k=1 ϕk (ξ) = ψ(ξ).

(1.30)

(1.31)

Since supp ϕ ⊂ {ξ : 2−1 6 |ξ| 6 2}, we easily see that supp ϕk ⊂ {ξ : 2k−1 6 |ξ| 6 2k+1 }, k ∈ N, supp ϕ0 ⊂ {ξ : |ξ| 6 2}. Define 4k = F −1 ϕk F ,

k ∈ N ∪ {0},

(1.32)

{4k }∞ k=0 is said to be the Littlewood-Paley (or dyadic) decomposition operator. Formally, we find that6 ∞ X k=0

4k = I.

(1.33)

Combining the dyadic decomposition operator with the function spaces7 s `q (Lp ) and Lp (`q ), we can introduce Besov spaces Bp,q and Triebel-Lizorkin s spaces Fp,q , respectively. Let −∞ < s < ∞,

1 6 p, q 6 ∞.

(1.34)

6 Actually, this decomposition works just for any locally integrable function which has some decay at the infinity, and one usually has all the convergence properties of the summation that one needs. In many applications, one can make the a priori assumption that f is Schwartz, in which case the convergence is uniform. However, if the function does not decay, this formula fails. For instance, if f ≡ 1, then all 4k f ’s vanish because 4k 1 = ϕk (0) = ϕ(0) = 0.

Roughly speaking, s is the spatial regularity index; 4k f is the frequency localization of f at the frequency |ξ| ∼ 2k ; the norms of the function sequence {2sk |4k f |} in `q (Lp ) and Lp (`q ) generate Besov and Triebel norms of f , respectively.

We write ξ j = (ξ1 , ..., ξj−1 , ξj+1 , ..., ξn ) and ( j Pn j Pnκ(ξj )ζ(ξ ) j , j=1 κ(ξj )ζ(ξ ) 6= 0, κ(ξ j )ζ(ξ ) j=1 χj (ξ) = (1.97) Pn j 0, j=1 κ(ξj )ζ(ξ ) = 0.

We consider the Gagliardo-Nirenberg (GN) inequality in Besov and Triebel spaces. Using the dyadic decomposition, we obtain a very simple proof for the GN inequality. On the other hand, the GN inequality with fractional order derivatives is of interest for its own sake and has an independent significance.

It is of importance in the case s = 0 and q = 2, which is equivalent to BMO space introduced by F. John and L. Nirenberg in 1961. An interesting generalization of BMO type on homogeneous-type spaces or on measurable subsets of such spaces was given by X. T. Duong and L. X. Yan [69]. Their spaces are defined by certain maximal functions associated with generalized approximation of the identity, which coincide with the classical BMO spaces of F. John and L. Nirenberg in some special cases.

Navier-Stokes equation

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness. —— B. Russell

We consider the initial value problem for a nonlinear evolution equation, which is said to be locally well-posed in Lp if for any initial value u|t=0 ∈ Lp , there exists a unique solution in C(0, T ; Lp) for some T > 0, moreover, the solution map u|t=0 → u is at least a continuous mapping from Lp to C(0, T ; Lp ). Furthermore, if T = ∞, then we say that it is globally wellposed. The Navier-Stokes (NS) equation is a fundamental equation in the theory of fluid mechanics. However, the existence for its global smooth solutions in three spatial dimensions has been open for many years. In two spatial dimensions, the global well-posedness for the NS equation was established by Ladyzhenskaya [154], and Kato [119] gave an alternate proof based on the semi-group method and he also obtained the local well posedness of solutions in Ln for n > 3. We will use harmonic analysis techniques to study the NS equation. First, we consider the Lr → Lp estimate for the heat semi-group H(t) = et∆ and establish the time-space estimates in mixed Lebesgue spaces Lqt Lpx for the solutions of the linear heat equation, those estimates are similar to the Strichartz estimates for the dispersive equations. Next, applying the timespace estimates we show the local well-posedness in Ln for the NS equation in a very simple way. In 2D case, in view of the a priori estimate in L2 , we immediately obtain the global well-posedness of the NS equation in L2 . The method here is also useful for the other nonlinear parabolic equations, such as the semi-linear heat equation, the Ginzburg-Landau equation and so on. 33

Navier-Stokes equation

Finally, the regularity behavior for the NS equation will be investigated by applying the frequency-uniform decomposition techniques.

2.1 2.1.1

Introduction Model, energy structure

We study the Cauchy problem for the (incompressible) Navier-Stokes (NS) equation ut − ∆u + (u · ∇)u + ∇p = 0, div u = 0, u(0, x) = u0 (x), (2.1) Pn 2 where ∆ = i=1 ∂xi , ∇ = (∂x1 , ..., ∂xn ), div u = ∂x1 u1 + ... + ∂xn un , u = (u1 , ..., un ) and p are real-valued unknown functions of (t, x) ∈ R+ ×Rn , u0 = (u10 , ..., un0 ) denotes the initial value of u at t = 0. In view of its own structure, one can easily deduce that the smooth solution of (2.1) satisfies the following conservation law: Z t 1 1 2 ku(t)k2 + k∇u(s)k22 ds = ku0 k22 , (2.2) 2 2 0 P P n n where kuk22 := i=1 kui k22 , k∇uk22 := i,j=1 k∂xj ui k22 for u = (u1 , ..., un ). Indeed, multiplying u in (2.1) and then integrating by part, we have (2.2). According to (2.2), it is natural to ask what happens if u0 ∈ L2 (Rn ). Using the compactness method, we can obtain the existence of the weak solutions if u0 ∈ L2 (Rn ), however, the uniqueness, the persistence of the regularity of the solution and the continuity of the solution map are hard to obtain, see [159]. 2.1.2

Equivalent form of NS

Let (u, p) be a smooth solution of the NS equation. Taking the divergence of the first equation in (2.1) and noticing that div u = 0, we immediately obtain that ∆p + div[(u · ∇)u] = 0. (2.3) −1 It follows that ∇p = (−∆) ∇div[(u · ∇)u]. For convenience, we write P = I + (−∆)−1 ∇div. (2.4) Solving p from (2.3) and inserting it into (2.1), we get ut − ∆u + P [(u · ∇)u] = 0, u(0, x) = u0 (x). (2.5) From (2.5), we see that the NS equation belongs to a nonlinear parabolic equation.

Critical spaces

If u solves Eq. (2.5), so does uλ = λu(λ2 t, λx) (∀ λ > 0) with initial data uλ (0, x) = λu0 (λx). We say that X := X(Rn ) is a critical space for the NS equation, if the norm of uλ (0, x) in X is invariant for all λ > 0. Taking notice of kuλ (0, ·)kLr (Rn ) = λku0 (λ ·)kLr (Rn ) = λ1−n/r ku0 kLr (Rn ) ,

(2.6) r

we see that r = n is the unique index so that the norm of uλ (0, x) in L (Rn ) is invariant for all λ > 0. So, Ln is a critical space of the NS equation. Using the same way as in the above, we can verify that H˙ n/2−1 (Rn ) is also the unique space so that the norm of uλ (0, x) in H˙ s (Rn ) is invariant. H˙ n/2−1 is another critical space in all H˙ s . On the other hand, noticing that H˙ n/2−1 ⊂ Ln is a sharp inclusion, one can easily understand H˙ n/2−1 to be a critical space. −1 −1 We can calculate that kuλ (0, ·)kB˙ ∞,∞ ∼ ku0 kB˙ ∞,∞ , from this point of −1 ˙ view, we see that B is the largest critical space. ∞,∞

Time-space estimates for the heat semi-group

We consider the Cauchy problem for the heat equation: ut − ∆u = f,

u(0, x) = u0 (x).

Taking the Fourier transform, we get u bt + |ξ|2 u b = fb,

u b(0) = u b0 .

Solving the ordinary differential equation, we obtain that Z t u(t) = H(t)u0 + H(t − τ )f (τ, ·)dτ,

On the heat semi-group, the frequency localization idea goes back to Chemin [29] (see also [31]). The techniques used in this section θ are also adapted to more general semi-groups, say e−t(1+ia)|ξ| with 0 < θ < ∞, see [240]. The following result is due to [240]. Proposition 2.2. Let a > 0, 1 6 r 6 p 6 ∞, 0 < λ 6 ∞ and 2/γ = a + n(1/r − 1/p). Then we have kH(t)f kLγ (R+ ;B˙ 0

In fact, the above estimates (2.15) and (2.16) can be developed to the case 0 < r 6 p 6 ∞ and we have no restriction on λ, γ > 0. We have a little bit of surprise about this fact, see [240] for details. Some earlier results related to (2.16) were due to Weissler [250] and Giga [77], where their proof is based on Marcinkiewicz’ interpolation theorem. Corollary 2.1. Let 2/γ(p) = n(1/2 − 1/p).

If there is no confusion, we will write Lq (I, X) := Lq (I, X n ). We denote by [X]n0 the completion of the set {u ∈ S n : div u = 0} in X n

and by Lq (I, [X]n0 ) the space of all of the vector functions u(t) = (u1 (t), ..., un (t)) in Lq (I, X n ) such that u(t) ∈ [X]n0 for a.e. t ∈ I. It is easy to verify that [Lp ]n0 = {u ∈ [Lp ]n : div u = 0},

Lq (I, [X]n0 ) = {u ∈ Lq (I, [X]n ) : div u(t) = 0, a.e. t ∈ I},

integral equation that div u = 0 holds in (0, T ) × Rn . Again, by (2.41), one sees that u ∈ C(0, T ; [L2 ]20 ). The conservation (2.2) can be deduced by a straightforward calculation to the integral equation. It follows that ku(T )k2 6 ku0 k2 . According to the standard semi-group theory, one can extend the solution above step by step and finally finds a maximal time Tm . It suffices to show that Tm = ∞. If not, then Tm < ∞.

The contraction mapping argument implies that the solution map is analytic and of course, is continuous and the persistence of the regularity of solutions is also easy to obtain by using the integral equation. So the NS equation is globally well-posed in L2 . Finally, we point out that the method used here can be applied to some other kinds of nonlinear parabolic equations. For examples, ut − ∆u + |∇u|u = 0, u(0, x) = u0 (x) is globally well posed in L2 (R2 ); the Hamilton-Jacobi equation ut − ∆u + |∇u|3/2 = 0, u(0, x) = u0 (x) is locally well-posed in L2 (R2 ).

The above linear estimates can derive the local well-posedness and the global well-posedness with small data in Ln for n > 3. We will use the same notations as in the case n = 2. We have Theorem 2.2. Let u0 ∈ [Ln ]n0 . Then there exists a Tm > 0 such that the NS equation (2.5) has a unique solution u satisfying 2+n n u ∈ C([0, Tm ); [Ln ]n0 ) ∩ L2+n ]0 ).

(2.76) By a standard argument, we see that u is unique in L2+n (0, T ; [L2+n ]n0 ). Moreover, one can extend the solution step by step and find a maximal Tm 2+n n such that u ∈ C([0, Tm ); [Ln ]n0 ) ∩ L2+n ]0 ). loc (0, Tm ; [L 2 n If u0 ∈ [L ]0 , then we can use (2.57)–(2.61) to obtain u ∈ C(0, T ; [L2 ]n0 ) and ∂xi u ∈ L2 (0, T ; [L2 ]n0 ) in a similar way as in the 2D case. According to the regularity theory (see [67] for instance), we see that u is infinitely smooth in the domain (0, T ) × Rn . So, a straightforward computation will lead to (2.2). Moreover, if ku0 kn is small enough, we can take T = ∞ in (2.71) and (2.72).

Navier-Stokes equation

The result of Theorem 2.2 has a long history. Weissler [251] gives a detailed Lp -theory in half-space for local solutions. Kato [119] used a different way to obtain the well posedness result in Ln by constructing the resolution norm like supt tθ ku(t)kp . The idea only taking Ln+2 x,t as a resolution space was hidden in some references, see for instance [67]. Here the proof is to n take Ln+2 x,t∈[0,T ] ∩ C([0, T ]; L ) as a resolution space which enables us to get the local well posedness of solutions in Ln , where (2.65) plays a crucial role. Similar bilinear estimate to (2.65) in 3D was shown in [70] in a different way: kA P div (u ⊗ v)kL∞ ([0,T ];L3 ) . kukL5x,t kvkL5x,t .

Regularity of solutions for NS

We will show that, for any t > 0, the solution of the NS equation is infinitely differentiable and in fact, is really analytic. 2.5.1

s Gevrey class and function space E2,1

First, we consider the Gevrey classes. Let s > 0, denote s m! n ∞ n ∃ ∀m ∈ Z+ . Gs (R ) = f ∈ C (R ) : ρ, M > 0 s.t. kf kH˙ m 6 M ρm (2.78) Gs (Rn ) is said to be a Gevrey s-class. Our aim is to show that the solution of the NS equation belongs to the Gevrey 1-class. In order to show this fact, we will use Wiener’s decomposition of Rn . In Chapter 6, we will continuously use Wiener’s decomposition to study the nonlinear dispersive equations. Let Qα be the unit cube with the center at α ∈ Zn , i.e., Qα = α + Q0 , Q0 = {x = (x1 , ..., xn ) : −1/2 6 xi < 1/2}. It is easy to see that Rn = ∪α∈Zn Qα ,

Qα ∩ Qβ = ∅, n

α 6= β.

So, {Qα } constitutes a decomposition of R , which is said to be the uniform decomposition (or Wiener’s decomposition) of Rn . Comparing it with the dyadic decomposition, we see that it is more delicate than the dyadic decomposition of Rn . Putting the uniform decomposition into the frequency

The Gevrey regularity for the evolution equations is of importance for its own sake.

Chapter 3

Strichartz estimates for linear dispersive equations First, let us imagine the large-time-decaying phenomena in a dispersive system... .

We begin to study the dispersive equations. Roughly speaking, the dispersive equation takes the following form ∂t u − iP (D)u = F,

(3.1)

√ (D)u = P (ξ)b u, and where u(t, x) is an unknown function, i = −1, P\ P (ξ) is a real-valued function, which is said to be the dispersion relation of (3.1)1 . If F is a nonlinear function of u, then (3.1) is said to be a nonlinear dispersive equation. In this chapter we study the time-space estimates for the solutions of the linear dispersive equation in mixed Lebesgue spaces Lqt Lpx (or more s general spaces Lq (0, T ; Bp,r )), so called the Strichartz inequalities, which is a starting point to the study of nonlinear dispersive equations. For instant, we consider the Schr¨ odinger equation2 iut + ∆u = f,

u(0, x) = u0 (x),

where ∆ = i=1 ∂x2i , u(t, x) is a complex valued function of (t, x) ∈ R×Rn , u0 denotes the initial value at t = 0. f is a known complex function of (t, x) ∈ R × Rn . We will use its integral form. Taking the Fourier transform to (3.2), we get

emphasize that P (·) must be a real function. Schr¨ odinger (1887-1961) was an Austrian theoretical physicist who achieved fame for his fundamental contributions to quantum mechanics, especially the Schr¨ odinger equation, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1933. 2 Erwin

Strichartz estimates for linear dispersive equations

Solving the ordinary differential equation, we obtain that Z t u(t) = S(t)u0 − i S(t − τ )f (τ, ·)dτ,

where S(t) = eit∆ := F −1 e−it|ξ| F . By Plancherel’s identity, we see that kS(t)u0 k2 = ku0 k2 , which means that S(t)u0 is invariant in L2 for any t ∈ R. However, we can show that S(t) satisfies the following Strichartz estimates: kS(t)u0 kLγ(r) (R,Lr ) . ku0 k2 ,

Such kinds of estimates are time-decaying versions, which are of importance in the study of nonlinear dispersive equations. In the next chapter, we will further indicate why Strichartz inequalities are useful. 3.1

Lp → Lp estimates for the dispersive semi-group 2

This is the fundamental Lp → Lp estimate, or the time decay estimate for the Schr¨ odinger semi-group. For the general semi-group, it is not expected to have an analytic expression as in (3.4), we need to look for other ways 0 to get the Lp → Lp estimates. 0 In this section we study the Lp → Lp estimates for a class of dispersive semi-groups U (t) := F −1 exp(itP (ξ))F and use two different ways to 0 consider its Lp → Lp decay. The first method is very effective for homogeneous functions P (·), the second method can deal with nonhomogeneous radial functions P (·). First, we consider the decay estimates for the semi-group Um (t) := F −1 exp(it|ξ|m )F . Some earlier decay estimates on Um (t) were obtained

by Pecher [191]. Following Pecher’s proof, we can get an Lp → Lp decay estimate with smooth effects in the case m > 2. Some nontrivial generalized dispersive Lq − Lp estimates can be founded in Cui [52; 53], Sugimoto [207; 208] (see also [195]). We need the following lemma, which is due to Littman [161]. Lemma 3.1. Let v ∈ C0∞ (Rn ), supp v = Ω. P (ξ) : Rn → R is an infinitely smooth function on Ω. For any ξ ∈ Ω, the rank of (∂ 2 P (ξ)/∂ξi ∂ξj )ni,j=1 is at least ρ > 0, Then there exists a K ∈ N such that for any λ ∈ R, X kF −1 eiλP (ξ) vk∞ . (1 + |λ|)−ρ/2 kDα vk∞ . (3.5) |α|6K

Now we derive the decay estimates of Um (t) in homogeneous Besov spaces. Let {4k }k∈Z be as in Sec. 1.6. In view of Young’s inequality (see Appendix), one has that m

(3.25)

Similar to (3.15), (3.25) implies that kUm (1)f kp . kf kp0 . In view of the dilation property, we obtain the result, as desired.

(3.26)

Using (3.21), (3.22) and the convexity H¨older inequality (Proposition 1.21), we immediately have Proposition 3.5. Let n > 1, m > 2, 2 6 p < ∞, and 1/p + 1/p0 = 1. Then for any θ ∈ [0, 1], kUm (t)f kH˙ −2σ(m,p)θ . t−(nθ+2n(1−θ)/m)(1/2−1/p) kf kp0 . p

(3.27)

The above method is also valid for some other homogeneous non-radial functions, say P (ξ) = ξ14 ± ... ± ξk4 , k 6 n. Noticing that, if P (ξ) is not a homogeneous function, (3.7) can not be obtained by scaling, we need to look for another way to handle the nonhomogeneous case. Our idea is to simplify P (·) as a radial function P (ξ) := P (|ξ|), which is essentially reduced to one dimensional case. P (|ξ|) can be separated into two parts, lower and higher frequency parts, which correspond to |ξ| . 1 and |ξ| 1, respectively. We further assume that P (ξ) has a different growth as |ξ| . 1 and |ξ| 1, which is sufficient for many semi-groups. In what follows, we always assume that P : (0, ∞) → R is a smooth radial function satisfying

(H1) there exists an m1 > 0, such that for any α > 2, α ∈ N, |P 0 (r)| ∼ rm1 −1 , |P (α) (r)| . rm1 −α , r > 1;

(H2) there exists an m2 > 0, such that for any α > 3, α ∈ N,

(H4) there exists an α2 such that

|P 00 (r)| ∼ rα2 −2 , 0 < r < 1. Remark 3.1. The following are some p examples for which conditions (H1)– (H4) are satisfied: (1) P (ξ) = 1 + |ξ|2 (relevant to the Klein-Gordon 4 2 semi-group); (2) P (ξ) = |ξ| p + |ξ| (relevant to the fourth order Schr¨odinger semi-group); (3) P (ξ) = 1 + |ξ|4 (relevant p to the beam semi-group). Comparing P (|ξ|) = |ξ| with P (|ξ|) = 1 + |ξ|2 , althoughp they have the 2 same growth as t → ∞, we easily see that the rank of (∂ij 1 + |ξ|2 )n×n p 2 is n and 1 + |ξ| is better than |ξ| at ξ = 0. So, we can expect that the 0 Klein-Gordon semi-group has a better Lp → Lp decay. We first consider 1D case, which is easier to find the ideas. The following result is due to [94]. Proposition 3.6. Let n = 1 and U (t) = F −1 eitP (|ξ|) F . We have the following results. (a) Let {4k }k∈Z be defined in Sec. 1.6. Then for any k > 0, kU (t)4k u0 k∞ . 2k ku0 k1 .

We can assume, without loss of generality that t > 0 and P 0 (r) > 0. We consider the estimate of B1 . Put P1 (r) = tP (2k r) + rs. Noticing that P10 (r) = t2k P 0 (2k r) + s > ct2km1 , we see that (3.46) also holds if one replaces P by P1 . In view of (3.44), analogous to Case 1, we can get that for any θ > 0, |B1 | . |t|−θ 2k(n−m1 θ) . We now consider the estimate of B2 . Put P2 (r) = tP (2k r) − rs. Notice that if s = t2k P 0 (2k r), then P20 (r) = 0. We divide Case 2 into two subcases. Case 2a. s > 2 supr∈[1/2,2] t2k P 0 (2k r), or s < 21 inf r∈[1/2,2] t2k P 0 (2k r). It is easy to see that |P20 (r)| > ct2km1 if r ∼ 1 and (3.46) still holds if one substitutes P by P2 . Using (3.44), we have for any θ > 0, |B2 | . |t|−θ 2k(n−m1 θ) . Case 2b. ing (3.44),

Strichartz inequalities: dual estimate techniques Slip of bamboo for writing is eventually replaced by paper.

In this section we study the Strichartz estimates for a class of dispersive semi-groups. Such kinds of estimates go back to the pioneer work of R. S. Strichartz [206] in 1977 for the wave semi-group, afterwards there are a series of generalizations, see Kato [120], Cazenave and Weissler [26] for the Schr¨ odinger equation; Pecher [191], Ginibre and Velo [80] for the wave equation; Brenner [22; 21] for the Klein-Gordon equation; Kenig-PonceVega [126] for KdV and more general dispersive equations. Below, we give a unified approach to the Strichartz inequalities based on the dual estimate method, see [235; 234], which simplifies various Strichartz estimates for the above mentioned semi-groups. As corollaries, the Strichartz estimates for a class of higher order semi-groups are also obtained. Denote Z t −1 itP (ξ) U (t) = F e F, A = U (t − τ )f (τ, ·)dτ, (3.52) 0

where α ∈ R, θ ∈ (0, 1), X α := (I − 4)−α/2 X, and X ∗ is the dual space of X. Supposing that (3.54) holds, we can get some interesting estimates for U (·) and A. Using (3.52) and (3.54), we have Z t |t − τ |−θ kf (τ )kX ∗ dτ. (3.55) kAf kX α . 0

Using the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, we immediately obtain that Lemma 3.4. Assume that (3.53) and (3.54) are satisfied. For any T > 0 and s ∈ R, we have kAf kL2/θ (−T,T ;X s+α ) . kf kL(2/θ)0 (−T,T ;(X ∗ )s ) ,

Strichartz estimates for linear dispersive equations

For convenience, we denote by DT the set of all of the functions which are defined in (−T, T ), valued in S and taken finitely many values, I = (−T, T ). It is easy to see that for 2 6 p < ∞, DT is dense in Lq (I, (X ∗ )s ) (s ∈ R, 1 6 q < ∞). Lemma 3.5. Assume that (3.53) and (3.54) are satisfied. Then kU (t)f kL2/θ (R,X s+α/2 ) . kf kH s . Proof.

In fact,

(3.61)

Noticing that the above estimates are independent of T , and letting T → ∞, we get that those estimates also hold if (−T, T ) is substituted by R. Taking ϕ = (I − ∆)s/2 f , we can get the result, as desired. Lemma 3.6. Assume that (3.53) and (3.54) are satisfied. Then for any T > 0, I = (−T, T ), kAf kL∞ (I,H s+α/2 ) . kf kL(2/θ)0 (I,(X ∗ )s ) .

Strichartz estimates for linear dispersive equations

Now we apply the above results to a class of linear dispersive equations. We can use (3.14) and (3.15) to get some general results, however, every specific semi-group seems to be important in applications and so, we separately discuss every concrete semi-group, say S(t), W (t) and Um (t).

(3.99) is said to be an endpoint estimate. Recall that the condition θ < 1 in previous section aries from the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) inequality, which is essential for (3.55) and (3.56). This is why we say that θ(r) = 1 is the endpoint case. A natural question is what happens in the endpoint case θ(r) = 1.

Strichartz estimates for linear dispersive equations

Noticing that s and t in (3.102) have equal positions, and taking F = G = ψ, we have from (3.106) that (3.100) holds. Now the question reduces to show the bilinear estimate (3.106). Keel and Tao’s idea is to use the dyadic decomposition on t − s to cancel the singularity at t = s. Put Dj := {(s, t) ∈ D : T 2j < t − s 6 T 2j+1 }.

It is easy to see that D = ∪j60 Dj . Denote ZZ Lj (F, G) := U (t − s)F (s), G(t) dsdt.

Case (3) is similar to case (2). We denote by Σ the open quadrilateral domain with the vertices (1/p, 1/p) (p 1), (1/r, 1/2), (1/2, 1/2) and (1/2, 1/r), which contains B(P, ε). Now we show that (3.110) holds for any (1/a, 1/b) ∈ Σ. In fact, it suffices to consider the case that 1/b > 1/a. We can choose η ∈ (0, 1), (1/p0 , 1/p0 ) and (1/a0 , 1/2) satisfying (1) and (2), such that 1 1 1 1 1 1 , =η , + (1 − η) , .

(α(a), α(b)) = η(α(p0 ), α(p0 )) + (1 − η)(α(a0 ), α(0)). So, by the complex interpolation, we have the result, as desired.

Strichartz estimates for linear dispersive equations

We need the following (see [13]): Lemma 3.9. Let

  A0 × B0 → C0 , T : A0 × B1 → C1 ,  A1 × B0 → C1

(3.121)

be bounded bilinear operators, where (A0 , A1 ), (B0 , B1 ), (C0 , C1 ) are compatible Banach pairs4 . Let 0 < η, ηi < 1 and 1 6 p, q 6 ∞ satisfy η = η1 +η2 and 1/p + 1/q > 1. Then T : (A0 , A1 )η0 ,p × (B0 , B1 )η1 ,q → (C0 , C1 )η,1

(3.122)

is a bounded operator. Theorem 3.5. Let U (t) and A be as in (3.52) and satisfy (3.98) and (3.99). Assume that 2 6 p, q 6 r. Then s ) . kφkH s−α(p)/2 , kU (t)φkL2/θ(p) (I,Bp,2

Proof. Now we can use Lemmas 3.8 and 3.9 to show (3.100). Take p = q = 2, η = 2/3 and η0 = η1 = 1/3 in Lemma 3.9. Choose a0 = b0 and a1 = b1 satisfying θ(a1 ) = 1 − 2,

In view of α(p0 ) 6= 0, we have α(a0 ) 6= α(a1 ). (3.127) implies that −α(r)/2

We emphasize that in the right hand side of (3.129), the omitted constant is independent of T . As α(p0 ) = 0, the proof is slight different from the above discussions and we omit the details. So, (3.100) is proved and the other cases of (3.123) have been discussed in the previous section. Below we prove (3.124).

Remark 3.4. We emphasize that Theorem 3.5 is independent of T > 0. Thus, by a standard limit argument, we can get that Theorem 3.5 also holds for I = R. Remark 3.5. One needs the condition r < ∞ in Theorem 3.5 and we may further ask what happens if r = ∞, which corresponds to the cases n = 2 and n = 3 for the Schr¨odinger equation and the wave equation, respectively. Generally speaking, Theorem 3.5 does not hold if r = ∞, however, for the radial functions, the conclusion of Theorem 3.5 is still true in the case r = ∞, see Tao [215]. Corollary 3.1. Let n > 3, S(t) = eit∆ , 2∗ = 2n/(n − 2), 2 6 r, p 6 2∗ , and 2/γ(·) = n (1/2 − 1/·). Then we have kS(t)φkLγ(p) (I,B˙ s ) . kφkH˙ s , p,2

Chapter 4

Local and global wellposedness for nonlinear dispersive equations Stone from another mountain can be harder than jade. the Book of Songs

—— From

In this chapter we will study the local and global wellposedness in H s for a class of nonlinear dispersive equations. In order to solve a nonlinear dispersive equation, one needs to make a delicate balance between the solution and its survival space. The weak solution has too large existing space, which is hard to be unique. The smooth solution exists in a relatively small space and its existence is somehow a problem. So, one of our main task is to look for the most appropriate space to carry out the solution, which strongly associates with the energy and dispersive structures of the equation. To some extent, Strichartz’ inequalities realize the balance between the solution and its survival space, which enable us to obtain the global wellposed results in the energy space for a class of nonlinear dispersive equations, such as nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations, nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations and nonlinear wave equations and so on.

4.1

Why is the Strichartz estimate useful

Let us consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (NLS) iut + ∆u = f (u),

u(0, x) = u0 (x),

(4.1)

√ Pn where i = −1, f (u) = |u|α u, α > 0, ∆ = i=1 ∂x2i , u(t, x) is a complex valued function of (t, x) ∈ R × Rn , u0 is the initial value of u at t = 0. We easily deduce that the solutions of (4.1) formally satisfy the conservations 75

(4.2)

where E(u(t)) =

2 1 k∇u(t)k22 + ku(t)k2+α 2+α . 2 2+α

(4.3)

According to the conservation laws, it is natural to ask the wellposedness of solutions in L2 (Rn ) and H 1 (Rn ), respectively. For any α > 0, using the compactness or the parabolic regularity method, we can easily prove the global existence of weak solutions of (4.1), however, the uniqueness, persistence and the continuity of the solution map u0 → u are hard to obtain, see [159]. Noticed that S(t) = eit∆ : L2 → L2 , it is natural to solve NLS in k H (k = 0, 1, 2, ...) by using the boundedness of S(t) in L2 . According to the standard semi-group theory, if one can solve NLS in H k , then the uniqueness, persistence and the continuity of the solution map u0 → u can also be obtained by a standard way. However, this method has much more assumptions on nonlinearity and initial data. Let us consider the equivalent integral form of (4.1): Z t u(t) = S(t)u0 − i S(t − τ )f (u(τ ))dτ, (4.4) 0

here we only assume that f (u) is a nonlinear function. Applying kS(t)f k2 = kf k2 , we have Z t ku(t)k2 6 kS(t)u0 k2 + kS(t − τ )f (u(τ ))k2 dτ = ku0 k2 +

If we want to get the solution in C(0, T ; L2 ), then one needs |f (u)| 6 C|u|, from which we have kukC(0,T ;L2) . ku0 k + T kukC(0,T ;L2) .

(4.6)

We can easily construct a contraction mapping by choosing T > 0 sufficiently small and show that NLS is well-posed in C(0, T ; L2). 1 Taking the inner product of (4.1) with u and u , and considering its imaginary and t real part, respectively, we can get (4.2).

|f (u)| 6 C|u| is a rather strong condition on the nonlinearity, which 2 contains f (u) = sin u and f (u) = (e−|u| − 1)u as examples. The power nonlinearity is not included in the above discussions. Similarly, say for n = 1, one can solve NLS in C(0, T ; H 1 ). Assume that f (0) = 0,

|f 0 (u)| 6 C|u|α ,

0 < α < ∞.

Using the embedding H 1 ⊂ L∞ , we have for k = 0, 1, Z t k∇k u(t)k2 6 kS(t)∇u0 k2 + kS(t − τ )∇k f (u(τ ))k2 dτ 0 Z t k . k∇ u0 k2 + k|u|α ∇k uk2 dτ 0 Z t k . k∇k u0 k2 + kukα ∞ k∇ uk2 dτ.

So,

k∇k ukC(0,T ;L2 ) . k∇k u0 k2 + T k∇k ukα+1 C(0,T ;L2 ) .

(4.8)

Hence we obtain the local wellposedness in C(0, T ; H 1 ) for NLS. By the conservation of energy, one can extend it to a global one. The above idea can be generalized to any spatial dimensions and we can solve NLS in C(0, T ; H s ) (s > n/2) by assuming that |f (k) (u)| 6 C|u|α+1−k ,

[n/2] < α < ∞,

k = 0, 1, ..., [n/2] + 1,

where s > n/2 is essential to guarantee the inclusion H s ⊂ L∞ . According to the above discussions, for n > 2, we can not solve NLS in H 1 if we only use the L2 estimates. Now, our question is how to show the wellposedness of NLS in the energy spaces in higher spatial dimensions. Using the Strichartz estimates as tools, we can obtain the global wellposedness results of NLS in H 1 for the power nonlinearity |u|α u with α < 2∗ − 2 (2∗ is as in (3.73)), see Kato [120]. If α = 2∗ − 2, the local wellposedness for NLS can be established by resorting to the Strichartz inequalities. On the basis of the local weposedness result, Bourgain [19] in 1999 developed the localized energy separation method and he obtained the global wellposedness of the radial solutions in 3D and 4D. Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Takaoka and Tao [44] further developed Bourgain’s technique and they removed the radial assumption. In higher spatial dimensions n > 4 and α = 2∗ − 2, the global wellposedness of NLS is solved by Ryckman and Visan [196] and Visan [232]. If α > 2∗ − 2, the global wellposedness of NLS is still open.

Local and global wellposedness for nonlinear dispersive equations

In order to indicate the general idea, now we briefly give an application of the Strichartz inequality to NLS in 2D; cf. Tsutsumi [226], Cazenave and Weissler [25]. We consider the integral equation: Z t u(t) = S(t)u0 − i S(t − τ )|u(τ )|2 u(τ )dτ. (4.9) 0

Recall the Strichartz inequalities:

kS(t)u0 kL4x,t (R2+1 ) . ku0 k2 ,

Z t

S(t − τ )f (τ )dτ

0

So, we have

(4.10)

kukL4x,t (R2+1 ) . ku0 k2 + k|u|2 ukL4/3(R2+1 ) x,t

. ku0 k2 +

kuk3L4 (R2+1 ) . x,t

(4.12)

So, we can solve (4.9) in the space L4x,t (R2+1 ) at least for small Cauchy data u0 ∈ L2 . To realize (4.12), one needs to make a delicate balance between the nonlinearity |u|2 u and the Strichartz space L4x,t . The above performance contains a very general idea to show the well posedness of NLS. In the next few sections we will mainly use this technique to study NLS and nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations.

4.2

Nonlinear mapping estimates in Besov spaces

In order to solve a nonlinear dispersive equation, after establishing the Strichartz inequalities for the relevant linear dispersive equation, we need 0 to estimate the nonlinear terms in the spaces Lγ(r) (0, T ; Brs0,2 ). The energy structure is not necessary for the local wellposedness and for the global wellposedness with small data. In this section, we consider a nonlinear mapping estimate in Besov spaces. The relevant estimates go back to the works of Pecher [190], Brenner [21], Ginibre and Velo [79]. For NLS, a general nonlinear estimate can be found in Cazenave and Weissler [26]. Wang [236; 234] obtained the nonlinear estimates for the nonlinear KleinGordon equations (NLKG). Now we prove a general result, which covers NLS, NLKG and their higher order versions as special cases, which was obtained in [241]. The nonlinear mapping estimates in Besov spaces rely upon two modified versions of the H¨ older inequality, one is the convexity H¨older’s inequality as in Proposition 1.21, another is the modified H¨older inequality

Local and global wellposedness for nonlinear dispersive equations

Proof. If s − δ < 1, the proof is very easy and we omit the details of the proof. It suffices to consider the case s − δ > 1. We assume that s − δ ∈ / N.

where v = s − δ − [s − δ]. In view of (4.16) we see that k Mh Dα f (u)kLr0 satisfies (4.15). Step 1. we estimate !1/2 Z ∞ −2v 2 dt Aq := t sup kIq kLr0 . (4.20) t |h|6t 0 In (4.16), we consider the estimate of kIq kLr0 .

If s 6 s0 +1, then we can take β0 = β1 = · · · = βq−1 = 0 and βq = s−s0 . Since s− δ > 1, we see that v = s− δ − [s− δ] 6 s− δ − 1 6 s0 , which implies a00 > 0. In view of s − |αq | 6 s0 , we obtain that aq > 1/r − s0 /n > 0. If q > 2, then |αi | 6 s0 for all i = 1, · · · , q − 1. Indeed, in the opposite case one has that |αq | + |αq−1 | > s0 + 1 > s, which is impossible. So, we have P ai > 0, i = 0, 1, ..., q. Notice that a00 + qi=0 ai = 1/r0 .

If q = 1, then we can take β0 = v, β1 = s − s0 − v. Due to δ 6 s0 , we have β1 6 [s − δ] and s0 + β1 > [s − δ]. So, conditions (a)–(c) are satisfied. We consider the case q > 2 which is divided into the following three subcases. First, we assume that |αq | > s − s0 − v. Let β0 = v, β1 = · · · = βq−1 = 0 and βq = s − s0 − v. Obviously, conditions (a) and (c) hold. On the other hand, it is easy to see that s0 +βq > |αq | and s0 +β0 > v. If |αq−1 | > s0 , then |αq |+ |αq−1 | > s− v > [s− δ], a contraction. So we have s0 + βq−1 > |αq−1 |, which implies the condition (b) holds. Secondly, we consider the case s0 6 |αq | < s − s0 − v. Put β0 = v, βi = |αi | for i = 1, · · · , q − 1 and βq = |αq | + δ − s0 . A straightforward Pq calculation yields i=0 βi = s − s0 . In view of δ 6 s0 and |αq | > s0 , we see that 0 6 βq 6 |αq |, which leads the condition (a) holds. Noticing that s0 + βq = |αq | + δ, we easily see that condition (b) holds. Thirdly, we consider the case |αq | 6 (s − s0 − v) ∧ s0 . In the current Pq case, we easily see that i=1 |αi | = [s − δ] = s − δ − v > s − s0 − v. Hence, Pq we can choose βi ∈ [0, |αi |] (i = 1, · · · , q) satisfying i=1 βi = s − s0 − v. Put β0 = v. Obviously, conditions (a) and (c) hold. From |αi | 6 |αq | 6 s0 it follows that the condition (b) holds. Therefore, we have chosen β0 , · · · , βq satisfying conditions (a)–(d).

The estimates of Bq are similar to those of Aq and we only sketch the proof. (I) We consider the case s 6 s0 + 1. If q = 1, the estimate of Bq is very easy and we omit the details. We now consider the estimates of Bqi , i 6= q, q > 2.

If not, then s − δ > |αq | + |αj | + v > s0 + 1 > s, which is impossible. So, aj > 0, j = 1, · · · , q − 1. By s 6 s0 + 1 we see that aq > 0. Using the modified H¨older inequality, we can get the estimate of kIIqi kLr0 . Thus, we obtain the estimates of Bqi for i 6= q.

where f (u) = c|u| u. If u is a solution of (4.29), then uλ (t, x) = λ2/σ u(λ2 t, λx) also solves (4.29) with initial data λ2/σ u0 (λ·) at t = 0. Let us observe that kuλ kH˙ s (Rn ) = λ2/σ+s−n/2 kukH˙ s (Rn ) .

This implies that σ = 4/(n−2s) is the unique index such that the norm of uλ in H˙ s is invariant for all λ > 0. From this point of view, σ = 4/(n − 2s) > 0 is said to be the critical power in H˙ s (or in H s ) for NLS. For s = n/2 − 2/σ, H˙ s (H s ) is said to be the critical space for NLS. When s < n/2, corresponding to the critical case, σ < 4/(n − 2s) is said to be a subcritical power in H s . If s > n/2, σ < ∞ is said to be a subcritical power in H s . σ > 4/(n − 2s) is said to be a supercritical power in H s for NLS.

where S(t) = eit∆ . According to the Strichartz inequalities, if u0 ∈ H s , then s (3.75) and (3.76) indicate that the solution should belong to Lγ(p) (I, Bp,2 ). Assume that |f (k) (u)| 6 C|u|σ+1−k , k = 0, 1, ..., [s] + 1, (4.31) where 0 6 s < n/2, [s] denotes the integer part of s, 0 < σ 6 4/(n − 2s). We have (see [26]) Theorem 4.1. Let 0 6 s < n/2, 0 < σ < 4/(n − 2s). Assume that f ∈ C [s]+1 satisfies (4.31), [s] 6 σ. If u0 ∈ H s , then there exists a T ∗ := T ∗ (ku0 kH s ) > 0 such that (4.30) has a unique solution γ(r) s u ∈ Lloc ([0, T ∗ ); Br,2 ), (4.32) where n(2 + σ) r= .

Remark 4.2. If T ∗ < ∞ in Theorem 4.1, then T ∗ has a lower bound which depends on ku0 kH s , i.e., T ∗ > δ(ku0 kH s ) > 0. However, if T ∗ < ∞ in Theorem 4.2, then we can not get the lower bound of T ∗ which only depends on ku0 kH s , namely, T ∗ may depend on not only ku0 kH s , but also the choice of u0 in H s , which is easily seen from the scaling u(t, x) → uλ (t, x) := λ2/σ u(λ2 t, λx).

Theorems 4.3 and 4.4 are corollaries of Theorem 4.1 and the conservation laws in (4.65). Since we have gotten the local wellposedness in Theorem 4.1, using the standard argument, one can get that the local solution of NLS (4.64) satisfies (4.65) at any local time.

In Theorem 4.5 we get the local wellposedness in H s , where σ is a subcritical power in H s . If σ is a critical power in H s , we have the following global wellposedness result with small data: Theorem 4.6. Let n > 2, 1/2 6 s < n/2 and σ = 4/(n− 2s). Assume that f ∈ C [s+1/2] satisfies (4.70), [s + 1/2] 6 σ + 1. If (u0 , u1 ) ∈ H s × H s−1 , then there exists a T ∗ := T ∗ (u0 , u1 ) > 0 such that (4.69) has a unique solution u verifying (4.71). Moreover, if k(u0 , u1 )kH s ×H s−1 is sufficiently small, then T ∗ = ∞. If the initial data belong to energy spaces, we have Theorem 4.7. Let n > 2, 0 < σ < 4/(n − 2) and f (u) = |u|σ u. If (u0 , u1 ) ∈ H 1 × L2 , then (4.69) has a unique solution γ(r) s−β(r) u ∈ C([0, ∞); H 1 ) ∩ ∩r∈(2,2∗ ) Lloc ([0, ∞); Br,2 ) , (4.73) and

Theorems 4.5 and 4.6 can be developed to the nonlinear wave equation a (NLW), i.e., m2 = 0 in (4.69). Indeed, substituting H s , Bp,2 by relevant s ˙a ˙ H , Bp,2 , we see that Theorems 4.5 and 4.6 also hold for the following NLW utt − ∆u = f (u),

u(0, x) = u0 (x), ut (0, x) = u1 (x).

(4.75)

We have similar results to Theorems 4.5–4.7 for NLKG in one spatial dimension, whose proofs are slightly different from the case n > 2. For NLW, one can use the L2 estimates to get the local wellposedness in one spatial dimension. However, the Strichartz estimates fail in 1D and Theorem 4.6 can not be generalized to one spatial dimension. If σ = 4/(n − 2), the global wellposedness result will be discussed in Chapter 7. Proof.

Chapter 5

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations From PDE point of view, one of the main reasons that we like Fourier transform is that it makes the differential operation into fundamental algebraic multiplication.

This chapter is devoted to introduce some methods in studying the low regularity theory for the Cauchy problems of the nonlinear dispersive equations: X s,b method and I-method. By the low regularity theory we mean to study the Cauchy problems assuming rough initial data. For instance, whether the Cauchy problems are locally well-posed in H s and how low can s be? How about global well-posedness? The low regularity theory is important for several reasons: First, for Sobolev H s , if s is smaller, then the space H s is larger; thus the scope of initial data is wide, for example, it can include Dirac measure–δ function which belongs to H −1/2− , > 0. Secondly, for some equations, conservation laws of L2 and H 1 can be easily obtained, so the task of extending a local existence result to a global existence result can be easier if one is working at low regularities than high regularities. In this chapter, we take the Korteweg de-Vries equation and the Schr¨ odinger equation with derivative as examples to study the low regularity solution for the nonlinear dispersive equations.

In this section, we introduce Bourgain space and its properties. The Cauchy problem for a general dispersive equation usually has the following form: ( ∂t u − iφ(D)u = f (u, ∂ α u), (x, t) ∈ Rn × R (5.1) u(x, 0) = u0 (x) ∈ H s (Rn ). 91

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

where u(x, t) : Rn → C is a unknown function, u0 (x) is a given data, ∂ α = (∂xα11 , ..., ∂xαnn ), and φ(D) is a Fourier multiplier: Z φ(D)u = (2π)−n/2 eixξ φ(ξ)b u(ξ)dξ. Rn

Here φ(ξ) is a real-valued continuous function1 , which we refer as dispersion relation of the equation or phase function. Nonlinear term f is a function of multi-variables, for example f is a polynomials or usually of the form |u|p u. Many dispersive equations can be reduced to the form (5.1), for inodinger equation (with dispersion relation φ(ξ) = |ξ|2 ), Kostance, Schr¨ rteweg de-Vries equation (with dispersion relation φ(ξ) = ξ 3 ), and so on. In the previous several chapters we have discussed some space-time structures, such as Strichartz-type space Lqt Lrx , smoothing effect-type Lqx Lrt . In this chapter we will apply a new class of space-time structure X s,b . To briefly introduce the motivation, we view (5.1) as a perturbation of a linear equation as before, hence consider first the corresponding linear equation: ∂t u − iφ(D)u = 0.

(5.2)

Denote S(t)f = Fx−1 eitφ(ξ) Fx f . Taking Fourier transform with respect to both space and time on both side of (5.2), then it becomes u(ξ, τ ) = 0. (τ − φ(ξ))b

(5.3)

Unless particularly specified, u b or F u will always denote the Fourier transform of the function u(x, t) with respect to x and t, Fx u denotes the one only on x.2 From (5.3) we see that u b is supported on the surface {(ξ, τ ) : τ = φ(ξ)}. One can imagine that this surface is intimately related to the equation (5.1). By viewing x and t equally, we then introduce the Sobolev-type space for (5.1) as Sobolev space for the Laplacian equation. Definition 5.1. Assume φ : Rd → R is a continuous function. Let s, b ∈ R. d s,b The space Xτs,b (Rd ×R) or X s,b , is then =φ(ξ) (R ×R), simply denoted as X defined to be the closure of the Schwartz functions S(Rd+1 ) under the norm s

5.1. Bourgain space

93

These modern forms of the spaces were first used to systematically study nonlinear dispersive wave problems by Bourgain [15; 14]. Klainerman and Machedon [146] used similar ideas in their study of the nonlinear wave equation. The spaces appeared earlier in a dierent setting in the works [194], [7] of Rauch, Reed, and M. Beals. Then the bilinear estimates in these space were deeply studied by Kenig, Ponce and Vega [132], and by Tao [216] in an abstract setting. Bourgain spaces X s,b can exploit deeply dispersive effect of the equation, and analyze the frequency interactions of waves evolving from the equation. Thus it is usually a powerful tool in the well-posedness study, see [132; 218]. We take the nonlinear term uux as an example, then Bourgain space methods reduce to the following two crucial estimates:

Z t

ψ(t)

S(t − s)f (s)ds 6Ckf kX s,b−1 , (5.5)

0

X s,b

k∂x (uv)kX s,b−1 6CkukX s,b kvkX s,b ,

(5.6)

where ψ(t) is a smooth cut-off function. Intuitively, we can view these two inequalities in this way: s is the degree of regularity for the space variable, and b is that R t for the operator ∂t − iφ(D). From (5.5) we see the nonlinear evolution 0 S(t − s) · ds gains one derivative with respect to ∂t − iφ(D), and (5.6) shows this gain can compensate the loss of derivative on the space variable. How much regularity can be obtained through this process depends on the strength of dispersive effect of the equation. More precisely, we will show (5.5) always hold for any φ when 1/2 < b < 1, hence the main task is to show the second inequality which is the main topics of the next section. This section devotes to prove some basic properties of Bourgain X s,b . Assume ψ ∈ C0∞ (R), suppψ ⊂ [−2, 2], and equals to 1 on [−1, 1]. Let ψδ (·) = ψ(·/δ) for any δ > 0. We will use the following lemma, which is proved in Chapter 3. Lemma 5.1. If 0 < α < 1, 1 < p < ∞, then k(−∆)α/2 (f g)kLp . kf kL∞ k(−∆)α/2 gkLp + kgkL∞ k(−∆)α/2 f kLp . (5.7) From the definition of X s,b , it is easy to see that Lemma 5.2. Let s, b ∈ R. Then

kψδ (t)f kX s,b−1 .δ b −b kf kX s,b0 −1 .

Proof. We may assume s = 0. It follows from Lemma 5.2 and Lemma 5.1 that

The first inequality follows from (5.8) and Sobolev’s inequality H b ,→ L∞ . Next we show the second inequality. For simplicity, let c = 1 − b and d = 1 − b0 , and then 0 6 d < c < 1/2. From Lemma 5.2 it suffices to prove kψδ (t)hkH −c .δ c−d khkH −d . t

97

If b = 1/2, there are counter-examples to show both Proposition 5.2 (b) and Lemma 5.3 fail. We leave this to the readers as an exercise. When b = 1/2, one has a good substitute for X s,b : Besov-type Bourgain space F s . We will use this space combined with a special low frequency structure to solve the H −3/4 GWP problem for the KdV equation in Section 5.4. Now we introduce the space F s . For convenience, for k ∈ N ∪ {0}, denote I0 = [−2, 2];

Ik = [2k−1 , 2k+1 ], k > 1.

(5.20)

Assume {ϕk }∞ k=0 is the sequence of functions for the non-homogeneous dyadic decomposition which are constructed in Section 1.3, and {4k }∞ k=0 are the corresponding Littlewood-Paley projector operators. For k ∈ N∪{0} we define the dyadic X s,b -type space Xk (R2 ): ( ) f ∈ L2 (R2 ) : f (ξ, τ ) is supported in Ik × R and P∞ Xk = . (5.21) kf kXk = j=0 2j/2 kϕj (τ − φ(ξ)) · f (ξ, τ )kL2ξ,τ < ∞ Then we resemble these space in a Littlewood-Paley manner X kuk2F s = 22sk kϕk (ξ)F uk2Xk ,

F s is a good substitute of X s,1/2 for the following two reasons: Firstly, it is easy to see X s,1/2+ ⊂ F s ⊂ X s,1/2 , and moreover, F s space can control many space-time norm such as Strichartz-type space Lpt Lqx (while X s,1/2 fails logarithmicly), secondly, F s has the same scale in time as X s,1/2 . This is very similar as the comparison between Besov space n/2 B2,1 and Sobolev space H n/2 , H n/2+ . First we prove the linear estimates in the space F s . Proposition 5.3. (a) Let s ∈ R and u0 ∈ H s . Then kψ(t)S(t)u0 kF s .ku0 kH s . (b) Assume s ∈ R, k ∈ N ∪ {0} and hτ − φ(ξ)i−1 F u ∈ Xk . Then there exists C > 0 independent of k such that

Local smoothing effect and maximal function estimates

In the last Section, we already see that the elements of Bourgain space X s,b are very close to the linear solutions u = S(t)u0 with initial data u0 ∈ H s . Thus to use X s,b we need to get the estimates for the linear solutions. In studying the dispersive equations with derivatives in the nonlinear terms, there are two important kinds of estimates known as Local smoothing effect and maximal function estimates. In this section, we introduce these two

Therefore, (5.24) is proved. Next we prove (5.25). The main idea is to permute the position of x, t, namely, view t as space variable and x is time variable, then L4x L∞ t becomes Strichartz-type estimate, and (4, ∞) is usually admissible pair. From the proof of the first inequality we see S α (t)u0 can be viewed as the linear solution to the dispersive equation with dispersive relation ω −1 (η), −1 c (η)) 0 (ω and with the initial data whose Fourier transform is uω 0 (ω −1 (η)) . It is easy to check that ω −1 (ξ) satisfies (H1), (H2), (H3), (H4) in Section 2.1, and m1 = m2 = α1 = α2 = 1/(α + 1). Then we get the Strichartz estimate kFx−1 eitω

where the constant C > 0 depends on T . To prove Theorem 5.2, we need the following lemma. Lemma 5.5. Assume ϕ is a C ∞ function supported in [2k−1 , 2k+1 ] and k ∈ N. For α > 1, define the function Hkα (·)  k  2 , |x| 6 1, Hkα (x) = 2k/2 |x|−1/2 , 1 6 |x| 6 C2αk ,  1/(1 + x2 ), |x| > C2αk .

Then, if |t| 6 2 there exists C > 0 independent of x, t and k such that Z ei(t|ξ|α ξ+xξ) ϕ(ξ)dξ 6 CHkα (x). (5.27) R

Moreover, if k = 0 and ϕ is smooth function supported in [−2, 2], then the same conclusion holds. R α Proof. Let u(x, t) = R ei(t|ξ| ξ+xξ) ϕ(ξ)dξ. First we have the trivial estimate for any x, t ∈ R |u(x, t)| 6 C2k . Thus it remains to consider the case |x| > 1. Assume k = 0.

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

Define the set Ω = {ξ ∈ supp ϕ : |(α + 1)t|ξ|α + x| 6 |x|/2}. Choose a cut-off function ζ ∈ C ∞ supported in Ω such that ζ = 1 when |(α + 1)t|ξ|α + x| 6 |x|/3, for example we may set (α + 1)t|ξ|α + x , ζ =η |x| where η is a fixed smooth cut-off function. Since |t| 6 2, if ξ ∈ Ω, then |x| ∼ αt|ξ|α 6 C2αk , hence h(ξ, x) = tξ|ξ|α + xξ satifies |h00 (ξ)| = Ct|ξ|α−1 > C2−k |x|. It follows from Van der Corput’s lemma that Z eih(ξ,x) ϕ(ξ)ζdξ 6 C2k/2 |x|−1/2 .

If ξ ∈ supp (1 − ζ), then |h0 (ξ)| = |(α + 1)t|ξ|α + x| > |x|/3. Integrating by parts, we get for |x| > 1 Z eih(ξ,x) (1 − ζ)ϕ(ξ)dξ 6 C . 1 + x2

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

The maximal function associated to dispersive equation was first proposed by Carleson [24]. We take Schr¨odinger equation as an example, ( iut + ∆u = 0, u(x, 0) = u0 (x).

From Plancherel’s equality we know as t → 0 the solution u = eit∆ u0 → u0 in H s . Carleson asked the following question: under what condition one has u(x, t) → u0 (x) almost everywhere? To answer the question, he asked further: what is least regularity on u0 ∈ H s so that sup|t|61 |eit∆ u0 (x)| is locally integrable? This problem was completely solved in one dimension, but remains unclear in high dimension. A general conjecture states as following: in any dimension u(x, t) → u0 (x) almost everywhere if and only if s > 1/4. In one dimension we already show if s > 1/2 keit∂xx u0 kL2x L∞ .ku0 kH s . |t|61 A conjecture of Kenig and Vega states that it still hold when s = 1/2. Actually we show the inequality holds when s = 1/2 and kukH s is replaced s by B2,1 . For these problems we refer the readers to [126; 127]. 5.3

Bilinear estimates for KdV and local well-posedness

In this section we consider Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, and prove the local well-posedness by showing the bilinear estimates in X s,b . KdV equation is given by the following form: ( ∂t u + ∂x3 u + 6u∂x u = 0, (x, t) ∈ R2 , (5.32) u(x, 0) = u0 (x) ∈ H s (R). Then the dispersion relation for KdV equation is φ(ξ) = ξ 3 . KdV equation is the fundamental equation in shallow water theory, which was founded in 1895 by Korteweg and de Vries. From the discussion in Section 5.1 we know the main task is to prove the bilinear estimate. First we prove Theorem 5.3. If −3/4 < s < −1/2, then there exists b ∈ (1/2, 1) such that for any b0 ∈ (1/2, b] with b − b0 6 min{−s − 1/2, 1/4 + s/3} we have k∂x (u1 u2 )kX s,b−1 6 Cku1 kX s,b0 ku2 kX s,b0 .

We will study the estimate of (5.36) in the next lemma, while for a general class of dispersion relation φ(ξ) = |ξ|α ξ we refer the readers to [92]. Our proofs are simplified version of the [k; Z]-multiplier, quite elementary but a little complicated. We suggest the readers to see the crucial ideas in the calculation. For convenience, if a1 , a2 , a3 ∈ R, we use amin 6 amed 6 amax to denote the maximum, medium, minimum among a1 , a2 , a3 . We also denote (f1 ∗ f2 ) · f3 = f1 ∗ f2 · f3 . Lemma 5.7.

Now we prove Theorem 5.3 using the lemma. In order to better understand how the conditions are imposed, we divide the proof into many cases. For each case one has a condition, then intersection of all conditions would ensure the theorem. Proof. [Proof of Theorem 5.3] From the previous discussion it suffices to prove (5.35). We may assume kuk2 = kvk2 = 1. Then we need to show X

(5.44)

Thus one may assume (5.44) in (5.43). Now we prove (5.35) using (5.43). Divide the left-hand side of (5.35) into several parts, we may assume (k2 , k3 ) = (kmed , kmax ), and k2 , k3 > 1, then from (5.43) we get Z X h2k3 is 2j3 (b−1) 2k3 [1Dk3 ,j3 (uk1 ,j1 ∗ vk2 ,j2 )f ](ξ, τ )dξdτ h2k1 is 2j1 b0 h2k2 is 2j2 b0 |k2 −k3 |65,ji ∈Z+ , X . kukL2 k4k2 vkL2 k4k3 f kL2 .kukL2 kvkL2 kf kL2 , |k2 −k3 |65

which is (5.35). Next we study (5.43) according to the frequency interacP P tions. Fix kmax , then the summation below ki ∈Z means kmin ∈Z . Case 1 (low-low interactions): kmax 6 100. It follows from Lemma 5.7 (a) that (5.43).

The case j2 = jmax is identical to the case j1 = jmax . Taking all the conditions, we proved that if s ∈ (−3/4, −1/2), 1/2 < b < 3/4 + s/3, 1/2 < b0 6 b with b − b0 6 −1/2 − s, then (5.33) holds. Therefore, Theorem 5.3 is proved. If s is large, one has similar estimates. Actually, the same methods above also shows the following theorem. For a ∈ R, a+ denotes a + for a fixed 0 < 1. Theorem 5.4. If −3/4 < s 6 0, then there exists b ∈ (1/2, 1) such that k∂x (u1 u2 )kX s,b−1 6 Cku1 kX s,b ku2 kX s,b

and k∂x (u1 u2 )kX s,b−1 .ku1 kX −3/4+,b ku2 kX s,b + ku1 kX s,b ku2 kX −3/4+,b . (5.48) Remark 5.1. The condition s > −3/4 in Theorem 5.4 is necessary. When s 6 −3/4, (5.47) fails for any b ∈ R. The case s < −3/4 was due to Kenig, Ponce and Vega [132], and the case s = −3/4 was due to Nakanishi, Takaoka and Tsutsumi [180]. Now we prove the local well-posedness for KdV equation using the bilinear estimates. First assume u0 ∈ H s , −3/4 < s < −1/2, and define the operator and set: Z t Φu0 (u) = ψ1 (t)S(t)u0 − ψ1 (t) S(t − t0 )ψT (t0 )∂x (u2 )(t0 )dt0 , 0

B = {u ∈ X s,b : kukX s,b 6 2Cku0 kH s }. We will show if T is sufficiently small, the map Φu0 is a contraction mapping in B. From Proposition 5.2, Proposition 5.1 and Theorem 5.3, we have for 1/2 < b < b0 < 1 0

It is easy to see when t ∈ [−T, T ] Z t u(t) = S(t)u0 − S(t − t0 )∂x (u2 )(t0 )dt0 , 0

hence u is a solution to KdV equation (5.32) in [−T, T ] and u ∈ XTs,b , where XTs,b is defined as following: kukX s,b = inf{ke ukX s,b : u e(t) = u(t)t ∈ [−T, T ]}. T

Next we will show u is the unique solution in XTs,b by using the ideas in [165]. Assume u1 , u2 ∈ XTs,b are two solutions to KdV equation with the same initial data u0 , we will prove u1 (t) = u2 (t), t ∈ [−T, T ]. From symmetry it suffices to prove u1 (t) = u2 (t), t ∈ [0, T ]. For δ > 0 which will be determined later, i = 1, 2, define uei    ui (t), t ∈ [0, δ], uei = ui (2δ − t), t ∈ [δ, 2δ], (5.49)   u , otherwise. 0

Thus t → uei (t) is continuous, and ψ(t)e ui (t) ∈ X s,b , u e1 (t) − u e2 (t) = 0 if t ∈ R \ [0, 2δ]. Since u1 , u2 are solutions to KdV equation, then when t ∈ [0, δ] Z t u1 (t) − u2 (t) = −ψ1 (t) S(t − t0 )ψδ (t0 )∂x [(e u1 − u e2 )(u1 + u2 )](t0 )dt0 . 0

For T > 0 define

kukX s,b = inf{ke ukX s,b : u e(t) = u(t) if t ∈ [0, T ]}. T+

Thus we get from Proposition 5.2, Proposition 5.1 and Theorem 5.3 that 0

Choose δ such that Cδ (kukX s,b + kvkX s,b ) < 1/2, then we get u1 (t) = T T u2 (t) if t ∈ [0, δ]. Repeating this procedure, we obtained the uniqueness in [0, T ]. If s is large, then we use the scaling invariance. It is easy to see that KdV equation has the following scaling invariance: for any λ > 0 u(x, t) → λ2 u(λx, λ3 t), u0 (x) → λ2 u0 (λx).

(5.50)

Then H˙ −3/2 is critical in the sense that: kλ2 u0 (λ·)kH˙ −3/2 = ku0 kH˙ −3/2 . From the fact 3

kλ2 u0 (λx)kH −3/4+ .λ 2 + ku0 kH −3/4+ + λ3/4+ ku0 kH −3/4+ , thus choosing λ sufficiently small, we may assume kφkH −3/4+ 6 0 1.

(5.51)

The rest argument is similar to the case −3/4 < s < −1/2, and we leave it to the readers. Therefore, we prove Theorem 5.5. Assume s ∈ (−3/4, 0], u0 ∈ H s , Then there exists T = T (ku0 kH −3/4+ ) > 0 and b > 1/2 such that KdV equation (5.32) has a unique solution u(x, t) ∈ XTs,b ⊂ C([−T, T ]; H s ). Moreover, ∀ R > 0, the map u0 → u(t) is Lipschitz continuous from {φ ∈ H s , kφkH s 6 R} to C([−T, T ]; H s ). 5.4

Local well-posedness for KdV in H −3/4

In Section 5.3, we consider the local well-posedness of Korteweg-de Vries equation in H s with s > −3/4. It is known that the bilinear estimate (5.47) is invalid if s 6 −3/4, one can refer to [132]. Moreover, KdV equation is not locally well-posed in H s for s < −3/4, the solution operator fails to be uniformly continuous with respect to the H s norm [47; 134]. Thus there exists a natural question: whether is the Cauchy problem of KdV equation locally well-posed in H −3/4 ? In this section, we give the answer, one can refer to [90]. From the results in Section 5.3, it follows that the space X s,b with b > 1/2 is unsuitable to be chosen as the work space for the local wellpopsedness in H −3/4 . We try to choose a new space instead of X s,b with

b > 1/2. From the definition of Bourgain’s spaces X s,b , it is expected to 1/2 obtain more elaborate estimates if Htb with b > 1/2 is replaced by B2,1 in spaces X s,b . In Section 5.1, we have introduced this space F s , where φ(ξ) = ξ 3 . The key approach is prove whether the following bilinear in spaces F s holds k∂x (uv)kN s 6 C(kukF s kvkF s + kvkF s kukF s ).

(5.52)

By the definitions of F s and N s , in order to obtain the bilinear estimate (5.52), it suffices to show that the following dyadic bilinear estimate [ [ [ [ khτ − ξ 3 i−1 ϕk3 (ξ)ξ(4 k1 u ∗ 4k2 v)kXk3 6C(k1 , k2 , k3 )k4k1 ukXk1 k4k2 vkXk2 . [ [ By examining the supports of the functions, ϕk3 (ξ)(4 k1 u∗ 4k2 v) ≡ 0 unless | max(k1 , k2 , k3 ) − med(k1 , k2 , k3 )| 6 5. Thus we have the following several cases depending on the relative sizes k1 , k2 , k3 : high × low → high, low × high → high, high × high → low, high × high → high, low × low → low. For each case, we have the corresponding estimtaes. Using Lemma 5.4, Theorem 5.1 and the proof of Lemma 5.6, we have the following proposition. Proposition 5.4. If k ∈ Z+ , j ∈ N, I ⊂ R and |I|.1, then 2 .kF [4k (u)]kX , k4k (u)kL∞ k t Lx

Thus, (5.62) follows from Propositions 5.5-5.9, the condition −3/4 < s 6 0 and discrete Young’s inequality. With this bilinear estimates and the scaling (5.50), we can also obtain the LWP of KdV equation in H s for s > −3/4. From the proof of Theorem 5.6 we see the condition s > −3/4 was only needed in Proposition 5.9 (a). Thus to study the endpoint case s = −3/4, one naturally asks whether Theorem 5.6 holds at s = −3/4, more precisely, whether the bound in Proposition 5.9 (a) can be improved to 2−3k/2 ?

5.4. Local well-posedness for KdV in H −3/4

121

The proposition above shows that if s = −3/4, one can not obtain local well-posedness by using F s or X s,b . From the discussion we see the only problem is the low frequency structure P60 u. Fortunately, by using a new low frequency structure, we can overcome the logarithmic divergence in Proposition 5.9 (a). We will use the following structure: kukX¯ 0 = kukL2xL∞ . t

From Proposition 5.4 we have

Thus it is weaker than X0 , but on the other hand, we have for any 1 6 q 6 ∞ and 2 6 r 6 ∞ For −3/4 6 s 6 0, define

F¯ s = {u ∈ S 0 (R2 ) : kuk2F¯ s =

Now we will show local well-posedness for KdV equation at s = −3/4. Theorem 5.7. Assume s > −3/4 and φ ∈ H s . Then (a) Existence. There exists T = T (ku0kH −3/4 ) > 0 and a solution u to the Cauchy problem (5.32) such that u ∈ F¯ s (T ) ⊂ C([−T, T ] : H s ).

(b) Uniqueness. The solution map ST : u0 → u is the unique continuous extension of the smooth solution map H ∞ → C([−T, T ] : H ∞ ). (c) Lipschitz continuity. For any R > 0, the map u0 → u is Lipschitz continuous from {u0 ∈ H s : ku0 kH s < R} to C([−T, T ] : H s ). (d) Persistence. If u0 ∈ H s for σ > s, then u ∈ H σ . Now we indicate our ideas in constructing F¯s . The starting point is the bilinear estimates in F s : k∂x (uv)kN s 6 CkukF s kvkF s .

This estimate fails at s = −3/4. On the other hand, we expect contraction principle still work at s = −3/4. Thus we need a new space F¯ −3/4 , which of course satisfies the following F¯ −3/4 ⊂ C(R : H −3/4 ).

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

From the equivalent integral equation of (5.32): Z t u = S(t)u0 + C S(t − s)∂x (u2 )(s)ds. 0

(5.71)

where ψ(t) = ϕ0 (t). By an iteration, u(0) = 0; · · · ; u(n+1) = Tu0 (u(n) ); · · ·

we obtain a sequence {u(n) }. If contraction principle works in F¯ −3/4 and u0 satisfies ku0 kH −3/4 1, then {u(n) } is a Cauchy sequence in C(R : H −3/4 ). Then a basic requirement is u(n) ∈ C(R : H −3/4 ),

∀ n ∈ N.

(5.72)

Next we check (5.72) for {u(n) }. For n = 0, 1, it is obvious that u , u(1) ∈ C(R; H −3/4 ). The case n = 2 is nontrivial. From the definition we have Z t u(2) = ψ(t)S(t)u0 + Cψ(t) S(t − s)∂x (S(s)u0 · S(s)u0 )ds. (0)

It suffices to prove (I − 40 )(u ) ∈ C(R; H −3/4 )40 (u(2) ) ∈ C(R; L2 ). For the high frequency part Z t ψ(t) S(t − s)∂x (S(s)u0 · S(s)u0 )ds 0 Z t = ψ(t) S(t − s)∂x [ψ(s/2)S(s)u0 · ψ(s/2)S(s)u0 ]ds. 0

From the linear estimate

kψ(t/2)S(t)u0 kF s .ku0 kH s , then by dyadic bilinear estimates and Proposition 5.3, we get for k ∈ N, 4k (u(2) ) ∈ Xk ⊂ C(R; H −3/4 ). For the low frequency part, we can not obtain 40 (u(2) ) ∈ X0 , due to the logarithmic divergence.

I-method

In the last two sections, we studied the local well-posedness for the KdV equation. In this section, we study the global well-posedness, namely extend the local solution to a global one. KdV equation (5.32) is completely integrable, and hence has infinite conservation laws. With these conservation laws, one can derive some a priori estimates of the solution. For example, if u is a smooth solution to the KdV equation (5.32), then for k ∈ N ∪ {0} and T > 0 ku(t)kH k 6 C(T, ku0 kH k ), ∀ t ∈ [−T, T ].

(5.83)

With these a priori estimates and local well-posedness, one can easily obtain the following: KdV equation is globally well-posed in H k , where k ∈ N ∪

For the regularity below L2 , there is no conservation law, and hence the global well-posedness do not hold automatically. I-method is an effective method to study this kind of problem. It was introduced by J. Colliander, M. Keel, G. Staffilani, H. Takaoka, and T. Tao [42], inspired by Bourgain’s frequency decomposition techniques [17]. We explain briefly the basic ideas of I-method. We recall the proof of (5.83) in the case k = 0, 1. Multiplying u on both sides of equation (5.32), and then integrating on x, we get d ku(t)k2L2 = 0, dt which is (5.83) at k = 0. For k = 1, it is easy to see that d ku(t)k2H 1 = 0 dt fails, the reason is the quantity ku(t)kH 1 does not exploit the structure of the equation. A natural idea is to find some other quantity Q1 (u(t)) such that d [Q1 (u(t))] = 0. Q1 (u(t)) ∼ ku(t)k2H 1 , dt If such Q1 (u(t)) exists, then we get ∀ t ∈ R ku(t)kH 1 ∼ kQ1 (u(t))k = kQ1 (u0 )k.ku0 kH 1 , which is (5.83) at k = 1. Now we know such quantity exists, for instance, we can take Z 1 Q1 (u(t)) = u2x − u3 + Cu2 dx. 3 R

d Actually, obviously dt [Q(u(t))] = 0, it suffices to show Q1 (u(t)) ∼ ku(t)k2H 1 . By Gagliardo-Nirenberg’s inequality we have 5/2

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations 4/3

Finally take C = ku0 kL2 . From this, for general H s norm, we also need to find quantity Qs (u(t)), they have similar properties as Q1 (u(t)). However, since such quantity does not exist for s < 0, then we relax the condition to Qs (u(t)) increase much slower than the norm kukH s during the evolution. The issues that how to construct Qs (u(t)) and control the increasing rate are systematically studied in ’I-method’. Given m : Rk → C, m is said to be symmetric if m(ξ1 , · · · , ξk ) = m(σ(ξ1 , · · · , ξk )) for all σ ∈ Sk , where Sk is the permutation group for k elements. The symmetrization of m is defined by 1 X m(σ(ξ1 , ξ2 , · · · , ξk )). [m]sym (ξ1 , ξ2 , · · · , ξk ) = k! σ∈Sk

For each m, we define a k-linear functional acting on k functions u1 , · · · , uk (m is said to be k-multiplier) as following Z Λk (m; u1 , · · · , uk ) = m(ξ1 , · · · , ξk )c u1 (ξ1 ) · · · u ck (ξk ). ξ1 +···+ξk =0

Usually we apply Λk on k functions which are all u. For convenience, Λk (m; u, · · · , u) is simply denoted by Λk (m). From symmetries we see Λk (m) = Λk ([m]sym ). By using the KdV equation (5.32) we can get the following proposition.

Proposition 5.15. Assume u satisfies (5.32) and m is a symmetric function. Then dΛk (m) ik = Λk (mhk ) − Λk+1 m(ξ1 , · · · , ξk−1 , ξk + ξk+1 )(ξk + ξk+1 ) , dt 2 where

hk = i(ξ13 + ξ23 + · · · + ξk3 ). Next we introduce the I-operator. Assume m : R → R is a real-valued even function, then we define Fourier multiplier operator Iu as following c Iu(ξ) = m(ξ)b u.

Define the modified energy EI2 (t)

EI2 (t) = kIuk2L2 .

Since m is real-valued even function and u is real-valued, then by Plancherel’s equality we get EI2 (t) = Λ2 (m(ξ1 )m(ξ2 )). It follows from Proposition 5.15 that d 2 E (t) = Λ2 (m(ξ1 )m(ξ2 )h2 ) − iΛ3 (m(ξ1 )m(ξ2 + ξ3 )(ξ2 + ξ3 )). dt I Since ξ13 +ξ23 = 0 for ξ1 +ξ2 = 0, then the first term vanishes. Symmetrizing the second term we get d 2 E (t) = Λ3 (−i[m(ξ1 )m(ξ2 + ξ3 )(ξ2 + ξ3 )]sym ). dt I Denote M3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) = −i[m(ξ1 )m(ξ2 + ξ3 )(ξ2 + ξ3 )]sym . Define a new modified energy EI3 (t) = EI2 (t) + Λ3 (σ3 ), where symmetric function σ3 will be set momentarily. The role of σ3 is to make a cancelation. It follows from Proposition 5.15 that 3 d 3 EI (t) = Λ3 (M3 ) + Λ3 (σ3 h3 ) − iΛ4 (σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 + ξ4 )(ξ3 + ξ4 )). dt 2 (5.85) Take σ3 = −M3 /h3 such that the two trilinear terms in (5.85) cancels. Denote 3 M4 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ4 ) = −i [σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 + ξ4 )(ξ3 + ξ4 )]sym , 2 then we have d 3 E (t) = Λ4 (M4 ). dt I Similarly we define a new modified energy EI4 (t) = EI3 (t) + Λ4 (σ4 ), where σ4 = −

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

where M5 (ξ1 , . . . , ξ5 ) = −2i[σ4 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ4 + ξ5 )(ξ4 + ξ5 )]sym . This procedure can be made for a finite times, but we stop here since it suffices for our purposes. In order to control the norm kukH s , it seems to convenient to take m(ξ) = hξis . However, it is difficult to control its increase. Basing on the L2 conservation, we take m as following: m is a smooth even function which has the form 1, |ξ| < N, m(ξ) = (5.86) N −s |ξ|s , |ξ| > 2N. It is easy to see that if N → ∞ then Iu → u, and hence the increase rate of the modified energy EIk (t) tends to 0 as N → ∞. The basic question is how fast it tends to 0. If m is of the form (5.86), then it is easy to see m2 satisfies  2 2 0 0   m (ξ) ∼ m (ξ ) |ξ| ∼ |ξ |, 2

(m2 )0 (ξ) = O( m|ξ|(ξ) ),

(5.87)

  (m2 )00 (ξ) = O( m2 (ξ) ). |ξ|2

Next we need to estimate the multipliers M3 , M4 , M5 . We will use two mean value formulas: if |η|, |λ| |ξ| |a(ξ + η) − a(ξ)|.|η| sup |a0 (ξ 0 )|,

(5.88)

|ξ 0 |∼|ξ|

and |a(ξ + η + λ) − a(ξ + η) − a(ξ + λ) + a(ξ)|.|η||λ| sup |a00 (ξ 0 )|.

(5.89)

|ξ 0 |∼|ξ|

First we give the estimate of M3 . Proposition 5.16. Let m be given by (5.86). In the set {ξ1 + ξ2 + ξ3 = 0, |ξi | ∼ Ni } where Ni is dyadic, we have |M3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 )|. max(m2 (ξ1 ), m2 (ξ2 ), m2 (ξ3 )) min(N1 , N2 , N3 ).

Proof. From symmetry we may assume N1 = N2 > N3 . If N3 &N1 , then it follows directly from the definition of m. If N3 N1 , from the mean-value formula we get m2 (ξ1 )ξ1 − m2 (ξ1 + ξ3 )(ξ1 + ξ3 ) + m2 (ξ3 )ξ3 6 max(m2 (ξ1 ), m2 (ξ2 ))N3 . Thus the proposition is proved.

To estimate M4 , first we extend the multiplier σ3 from the hyperplane to the entire space. Proposition 5.17. If m is of the form (5.86), then for any dyadic numbers λ 6 µ there exists an extension of σ3 from {ξ1 + ξ2 + ξ3 = 0, |ξ1 | ∼ λ, |ξ2 |, |ξ3 | ∼ µ} to the entire space {(ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) ∈ R3 , |ξ1 | ∼ λ, |ξ2 |, |ξ3 | ∼ µ} such that |∂1β1 ∂2β2 ∂3β3 σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 )| 6 Cm2 (λ)µ−2 λ−β1 µ−β2 −β3 ,

(5.90)

where the constant C is independent of λ, µ. Proof.

Since on the hyperplane {(ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) : ξ1 + ξ2 + ξ3 = 0} we have h3 = i(ξ13 + ξ23 + ξ33 ) = 3iξ1 ξ2 ξ3 ,

then |h| ∼ λµ2 . From M3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) = − i[m(ξ1 )m(ξ2 + ξ3 )(ξ2 + ξ3 )]sym

=i(m2 (ξ1 )ξ1 + m2 (ξ2 )ξ2 + m2 (ξ3 )ξ3 ),

we will discuss case by case. If λ ∼ µ, then we extend σ3 as following σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) = −

i(m2 (ξ1 )ξ1 + m2 (ξ2 )ξ2 + m2 (ξ3 )ξ3 ) , 3iξ1 ξ2 ξ3

which suffices for the purpose. If λ µ, then we extend σ3 as following σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) = −

i(m2 (ξ1 )ξ1 + m2 (ξ2 )ξ2 − m2 (ξ1 + ξ2 )(ξ1 + ξ2 )) . 3iξ1 ξ2 ξ3

Then (5.90) follows from (5.88) and (5.87).

Next we give the estimate of σ4 . The proof here was due to [96]. Compared to the proof given in [42], the proof here is more flexible to a general class of dispersive equations. But the ideas are the same. Proposition 5.18. Let m be of the form (5.86). Then on the area |ξi | ∼ Ni , |ξj + ξk | ∼ Njk , where Ni , Njk are dyadic numbers, we have m2 (min(Ni , Njk )) |M4 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ4 )| . . |h4 | (N + N1 )(N + N2 )(N + N3 )(N + N4 )

(5.91)

Proof. From symmetry we may assume N1 > N2 > N3 > N4 . Since ξ1 + ξ2 +ξ3 +ξ4 = 0, then N1 ∼ N2 . We may also assume N1 ∼ N2 &N , otherwise M4 vanishes, since m2 (ξ) = 1 if |ξ| 6 N , and if max(N12 , N13 , N14 ) N1 ,

then ξ3 ≈ −ξ1 , ξ4 ≈ −ξ1 , which contradicts to ξ1 + ξ2 + ξ3 + ξ4 = 0. The right-hand side of (5.91) is actually m2 (min(Ni , Njk )) . N1 2 (N + N3 )(N + N4 )

Since on the hyperplane ξ1 + ξ2 + ξ3 + ξ4 = 0 h4 = ξ13 + ξ23 + ξ33 + ξ43 = 3(ξ1 + ξ2 )(ξ1 + ξ3 )(ξ1 + ξ4 ), thus we get CM4 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ4 ) = [σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 + ξ4 )(ξ3 + ξ4 )]sym = σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 + ξ4 )(ξ3 + ξ4 ) + σ3 (ξ1 , ξ3 , ξ2 + ξ4 )(ξ2 + ξ4 ) + σ3 (ξ1 , ξ4 , ξ2 + ξ3 )(ξ2 + ξ3 ) + σ3 (ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ1 + ξ4 )(ξ1 + ξ4 ) + σ3 (ξ2 , ξ4 , ξ1 + ξ3 )(ξ1 + ξ3 ) + σ3 (ξ3 , ξ4 , ξ1 + ξ2 )(ξ1 + ξ2 ) = [σ3 (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 + ξ4 ) − σ3 (−ξ3 , −ξ4 , ξ3 + ξ4 )](ξ3 + ξ4 )

− σ3 (−ξ3 , −ξ2 , ξ2 + ξ3 ) + σ3 (ξ4 , ξ1 , ξ2 + ξ3 )](ξ2 + ξ3 ),

then using (5.89) four times we get III m2 (N1 ) . . |h4 | N14

Next we consider the contribution of II and III. We can not deal with the two terms separately, but need to exploit a cancelation between the two terms. Rewrite II + III as following II + III =[σ3 (ξ1 , ξ3 , ξ2 + ξ4 ) − σ3 (−ξ2 , −ξ4 , ξ2 + ξ4 )](ξ2 + ξ4 )

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations 2s

For fixed N (N will be determined later), we take λ ∼ N − 3+2s such that 3

λ− 2 −s N −s kφkH s = 0 < 1.

For simplicity of notations, we still denote uλ by u, u0,λ by u0 , and assume kIu0 kL2 6 0 . The purpose is then to construct solutions on [0, λ3 T ]. By Proposition 5.23 we get a solution on [0, 1], and we need to extend the solution. It suffices to control the modified energy EI2 (t) = kIuk2L2 . First we control EI2 (t) for t ∈ [0, 1], we will prove EI2 (t) < 420 . By standard bootstrap, we may assume EI2 (t) < 520 . Then from Proposition 5.22 we get EI4 (0) = EI2 (0) + O(30 ) and EI4 (t) = EI2 (t) + O(30 ). From Proposition 5.21 we get for all t ∈ [0, 1]

EI4 (t) 6 EI4 (0) + C50 N −15/4 .

Thus kIu(1)k2L2 = EI4 (1) + O(30 ) 6EI4 (0) + C50 N −15/4 + O(30 )

=20 + C50 N −15/4 + O(30 ) < 420 .

Thus the solution u can be extended to t ∈ [0, 2]. Iterating this procedure M steps, then we get for t ∈ [0, M + 1] EI4 (t) 6 EI4 (0) + CM 50 N −15/4

as long as M N −15/4 .1. Thus we get EI2 (M ) = EI4 (t) + O(30 ) = 20 + O(30 ) + CM 50 N −15/4 < 420 , hence the solution can be extended to t ∈ [0, N 15/4 ]. Take N (T ) sufficiently large such that N 15/4 > λ3 T ∼ N 3 T. Therefore, the u is extended to [0, λ3 T ]. In the end of this section, we prove some properties of the global solution. By the scaling we get sup ku(t)kH s ∼λ3/2+s

Schr¨ odinger equation with derivative

In above several sections, we use the Bourgain’s spaces to prove some bilinear estimates with respect to KdV equation. However, in some cases, for example: local well-posedness of the KdV equation in H −3/4 , it is not enough to get the local result directly using the Bourgain’s spaces. In this section, we consider the following Cauchy problem of the Schr¨odinger equation with derivative such that the reader can understand more the method of the Bourgain’s spaces ( iut + uxx = iλ(|u|2 u)x , (x, t) ∈ R2 (5.114) u(x, 0) = u0 (x). From Section 5.1 in this chapter, it follows that dispersion relation of (5.114) φ(ξ) = −ξ 2 . Thus we can obtain the following the definition of the norm of the Bourgain’s spaces X s,b with respect to Schr¨odinger equation with derivative: kukX s,b = khξi2 hτ + ξ 2 ib u b(ξ, τ )kL2 .

In order to prove the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem (5.114), from the standard method, it suffices to show k∂x (u¯ v w)kX s,b−1 .kukX s,b kvkX s,b kwkX s,b .

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

But the above inequality is invalid for any s, b ∈ R, one can refer to [91]. In this section, we will use gauge transform to improve the derivative nonlinearity, one can refer to [105; 184; 213]. The result in this section was first given by Takaoka[213]. Via the gauge transformation which was first used by Hayashi [102] (see also [106]) v(x, t) = Gλ (u)(x, t) = e−iλ

u0 (x). The corresponding inverse gauge

v(x, t) = G−λ (v).

Since the map Gλ is a bicontinuous map from H s to H s , we can show that the global well-posedness of (5.114) in H s is equivalent to that of (5.117). in the following, we only consider the Cauchy problem (5.117). Notice that the nonlinear term of the original equation iλ(|u|2 u)x = 2iλ|u|2 ux + iλu2 u ¯x , via the gauge transformation, the derivative in the nonlinearity |u|2 ux has been replaced by the quintic nonlinearity |v|4 v. The Strichartz estimate can control the nonlinearity |v|4 v easy. But, at first sight, there still exists a derivative in the nonlinearity u2 u ¯x in equation (5.117). However a derivative of the complex conjugate of the solution u can be handled while a derivative of u cannot since ω(ξ) = −ξ 2 is a even function. From the definition of Bourgain’s spaces, it follows that for complex conjugate of u s

(5.118)

But for |u|2 ux , the above inequality is invalid. Now we mainly estimate the nonlinear term v 2 ∂x v¯. Similarly with the KdV equation, we also need some space-time estimates (Strichartz estimate, local smoothing effect and maximal function estimate) of Schr¨odinger

Case 2. If |ξ|max 1 and |ξ|thd |ξ|sub , then from ξ1 + ξ2 + ξ3 + ξ4 = 0 it follows that |ξ|max ∼ |ξ|sub . We split this case into the following several subcases. Subcase 2a. If |ξ2 | |ξ3 | ∼ |ξ4 |, then recall the following identity on the hyperplane Γ4 h(ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ4 ) = σ1+ + σ2+ + σ3− + σ4− = 2(ξ1 + ξ3 )(ξ2 + ξ3 ). (5.122) This implies that max(|σ1+ |, |σ2+ |, |σ3− |, |σ4− |)&|ξ3 |2 . By symmetry, we only consider |σ4− | = max(|σ1+ |, |σ2+ |, |σ3− |, |σ4− |) and |σ2+ | = max(|σ1+ |, |σ2+ |, |σ3− |, |σ4− |). If |σ4− | = max(|σ1+ |, |σ2+ |, |σ3− |, |σ4− |), then for b 6 3/4 and s > 1/4, we have |ξ3 ||ξ3 |2(b−1) |ξ3 |1/2 K(ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 , ξ4 ) . . . − 1−b s s hξ1 i hξ2 i hξ1 is hξ2 is |σ4 |

Moreover, given t ∈ (0, T ), the map u0 → u(t) is Lipschitz continuous from H s to C(0, T ; H s ). Proof.

Some other dispersive equations

Except for KdV equation and Schr¨odinger equation, there exist some other important dispersive equations which have been considered by lots of mathematicer recently. In this section, the authors give some methods for some other dispersive equations such that the readers can understand more the method of Bourgain’s spaces. From the bilinear estimates of KdV equation and trilinear estimates of Schr¨ odinger equation with derivative, it follows that we can use not only the method of Tao’s [k; Z] multiplier [216], but also the method of the local smoothing effects and maximal function estimates [213] to consider the well-posedness of dispersive equations. We take the bilinear estimates of KdV equation for example to show the difference of the two methods. First, we can use the method of Tao’s [k; Z] multiplier to prove Theorem 5.3. That is k∂x (u1 u2 )kX s,b−1 6 Cku1 kX s,b0 ku2 kX s,b0 , s > −3/4, b, b0 > 1/2. (5.126) However, (5.126) holds with the condition s > −5/8 using only Strichartz estimate, the local smoothing effects and the maximal function estimates of KdV equation, one can refer to [128]. If −5/8 > s > −3/4, Kenig, Ponce and Vega [132] used the following inequalities to obtain (5.126). Z ∞ dx C 1 6 , b> (5.127) 2b (1 + |x − β|)2b 2b (1 + |x − α|) (1 + |α − β|) 2 −∞

As in Section 5.3 of this chapter, we first define ξ = ξ1 + ξ2 , τ = τ1 + τ2 σ = τ − ξ 3 , σ1 = τ1 − ξ13 , σ2 = τ2 − ξ23 . We split the the hyperplane {(ξ, ξ1 , ξ2 ) × (τ, τ1 , τ2 ) ∈ R3 × R3 : ξ = ξ1 + ξ2 , τ = τ1 + τ2 } into suitable several parts. For the case: |ξ1 | ∼ |ξ2 | |ξ| and |σ| > |σ1 |, |σ2 |, we only use the inequality (5.127); for other cases, similarly with the paper [128], we use the Strichartz estimates, the local smoothing effects and the maximal function estimates, thus we can also obtain (5.126). This can simplify the proof of the paper [132], the readers can try it. From this, it follows that the interaction: high × high → low is worst when one consider low regularity solution in Sobolev spaces of negative indice. Moreover, corresponding to the inequality (5.127), there exists the following inequality, which is also important when one consider the local well-posedness of the dispersive equations Z C 1 1 dx 6 ,

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

ν with λ1 = − 3µ 4 , λ2 = −2µ+ 2 , λ3 = −4µ−ν, λ5 = −2µ+ν, where µ is also a real constant. The equation (5.132) describes the three-dimensional motion of an isolated vortex filament, which is embedded in inviscid incompressible fluid fulfilled in an infinite region. Note that the dispersion relation of the equation (5.132) φ(ξ) = νξ 4 − ξ 2 has non-zero singular points. we can not directly use the local smoothing effects and the maximal function estimates of Section 5.2 in this chapter to consider it. So we need use the following Fourier restriction operators Z Z PNf = eixξ fˆ(ξ)dξ, PN f = eixξ fˆ(ξ)dξ, ∀N > 0, (5.133) |ξ|>N

where a depends on ν. Then using (5.134), (5.135), (5.136) and the Strichartz estimates, and the Bourgain’s spaces, we can obtain the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem (5.132). One can refer to [109; 110]. For some other dispersive equation, in order to obtain the wellposedness, we can not directly use the Bourgain’s spaces X s,b to construct the contraction mapping. So we need new method to consider them. In this book, we do not introduce them in details, one can refer to Guo’s thesis [93]. For example: the generalized Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation: u(x, 0) = u0 (x),

whereR k ∈ Z, µ ∈ R, and H is the Hilbert transform H(f )(x) = f (y) 1 d b π p.v. R x−y dy. From Hf = −isgn(ξ)f (ξ), it follows that the dispersion relation of BO equation ω(ξ) = −|ξ|ξ. This model was first introduced by Benjamin [10] and Ono [182], and it describe one-dimensional internal waves in deep water. Unlike Schr¨odinger equation, if initial data u0 is a real number, then the solution u of (5.137) is also a real number. The real and complex BO equation are different. Compared with KdV equation, BO equation has weaker dispersive effect. If k = 2, the Cauchy problem of BO equation (5.137) is badly behaved with respect to Picard iterative methods in standard Sobolev spaces. But

for the definition of some weaker well-posedness (for example: the solution mapping is only continuous), some local results of the real BO equation were obtained. For now, the best local result was obtained by Kenig and Ionescu[113], who obtained local well-posedness in L2 . Their method based on the gauge transform and the Besov-type Bourgain’s spaces X s,b . If k = 3, the best result of the well-posedness was obtained by Kenig and Takaoka [136], who used the dyadic gauge transform to prove that the Cauchy problem is globally well-posed in H 1/2 . Moreover,they showed that the index s = 1/2 is sharp in the sense: the solution map u0 → u as mapping from H s to C([−T, T ]; H s ) is no longer uniformly continuous when s < 1/2. Recently, in the paper [91], the author followed the idea in [113], used the contraction mapping to obtain the global well-posedness in H 1/2 with small data in L2 norm, here the author did not use the gauge transform. So this method can apply to complex BO equation. KdV equation and BO equation can be viewed as the special cases of the following dispersion generalized BO equation: ∂t u + |∂x |1+α ∂x u = µ∂x (uk ),

u(x, 0) = u0 (x),

(5.138)

where 0 6 α 6 1, u : R →R and |∂x | is the Fourier multiplier operator with symbol |ξ|. This model is very interesting from mathematical view, it let us understand the relation between the dispersion effect and the wellposedness. From the intensity of dispersion effect, it lies between KdV equation and BO equation, for example: if 0 < α < 1, then it is similar with BO equation, H s assumption on the initial data is insufficient for the local well-posedness via Picard iteration by showing the solution mapping fails to be C 2 smooth from H s to C([−T, T ]; H s ) at the origin for any s, one can refer to [167]. For the methods to obtained the well-posedness for (5.138), the method of refined energy was used in [127], the method of short time X s,b in [115] was used in [92], and a para-differential renormalization technique was used in [108]. Notice that the spatial dimension of the dispersive equations considered above in this chapter is one. How about the application of the Bourgain’s spaces to dispersive equations in higher dimension? For example: the Bourgain’s spaces can be applied to the higher dimensional Schr¨odinger equation. Compared with one dimension case, cases in higher dimension are more delicate. For instance, a quadratic non-linear Schr¨odinger equation(n = 1, 2) iut + ∆u = N (u, u ¯), u(x, 0) = u0 (x), n

where (x, t) ∈ R × R, N (u, u ¯) = c1 |u|2 + c2 u2 + c3 u¯2 . Using only the Strichartz estimates, one can obtain the well-posedness in H s with s > 0.

The low regularity theory for the nonlinear dispersive equations

However, by the Bourgain’s spaces, it was showed that it is well-posed in H s with s > −3/4(c1 = 0) and H s with s > −1/4(c1 6= 0) respectively, one can refer to [131; 41]. These results can be improved, one can refer to [9; 142]. For other nonlinearity |u|p u to non-linear Schr¨odinger equation, one can not obtain the better result of low regularity solution using Bourgain’s spaces, but one can obtain the better result of global well-posedness using I-method, one can refer to [45]. Finally, we introduce KP equation, which can be viewed as two dimensional KdV equation. The KP equation is also an important shallow water model. The Cauchy problem of KP-I equation as follows: ∂t u + ∂x3 u − ∂x−1 ∂y2 u + ∂x (u2 /2) = 0; u(x, y, 0) = φ(x, y), 3

(5.139)

where u(x, y, t) : R → R. The KP-I equation and The KP-II equation, in which the sign of the term ∂x−1 ∂y2 u in (5.139) is + instead of −, arise in physical contexts as models for the propagation of dispersive long waves with weak transverse effects. The KP-II equation is well understood from the point of view of well-posedness, one can refer to [16; 214; 212; 97; 98]. For the KP-I equation, Molinet, Saut and Tzvetkov [169] showed that it is badly behaved with respect to Picard iterative methods in standard Sobolev spaces H s1 ,s2 with any s1 , s2 ∈ R. On the positive side, it is known that the KP-I initial value problem is globally well-posed in the second energy spaces [122; 168]; these global well-posedness results rely on refined energy methods. Recently, Ionescu, Kenig and Tataru [115] obtained the global well-posedness in the natural energy space E1 = {φ ∈ L2 (R2 ), ∂x φ ∈ L2 (R2 ), ∂x−1 ∂y φ ∈ L2 (R2 )}, they introduce a new method, which can be looked as the blend of Bourgain’s spaces method and energy method. Recently, the authors in [95] remove the condition ∂x−1 ∂y φ ∈ L2 (R2 ). Compared with the result of KP-II equation, the global wellposedness of KP-I equation in L2 is a open problem.

Frequency-uniform decomposition techniques W. Orlicz had a small apartment and he once applied to the city administration for a bigger one. The answer of an employee was: “Your apartment is really small but we cannot accept your claim since we know that you have your own spaces!” —— Lech Maligranda2

In this chapter we study the NLS and the NLKG by using the frequencyuniform decomposition techniques, see [243; 245; 246; 247]. Let Qk be the unit cube with the center at k, {Qk }k∈Zn constitutes a decomposition of Rn . Such a kind of decomposition goes back to the work of N. Wiener [252], and we say that it is the Wiener decomposition of Rn . We can roughly write k ∼ F −1 χQk F ,

k ∈ Zn ,

(6.1)

where χE denotes the characteristic function on the set E. Since Qk is a translation of Q0 , k (k ∈ Zn ) have the same localized structures in the frequency space, which are said to be the frequency-uniform decomposition operators. Similar to Besov spaces, one can use {k }k∈Zn and `q (Lp ) to generate a class of function spaces, so called modulation spaces for which the norm is defined by !1/q X sq q s kf kMp,q = hki k k f kp . k∈Zn

6.1

Why does the frequency-uniform decomposition work

Comparing with the dyadic decomposition, the frequency-uniform decomposition has at least two advantages for the Schr¨odinger semi-group: 2 W. Orlicz (1903-1990), Polish mathematician and he is known for his Orlicz spaces, L. Maligranda is one of his students, see http://www.sm.luth.se/˜lech.

(1) k eit∆ : Lp → Lp satisfies a uniform truncated decay; (2) k eit∆ is uniformly bounded in Lp . It is known that S(t) = eit∆ : Lp → Lp if and only if p = 2. This is one of the main reasons that we can not solve NLS in Lp (p 6= 2). However, if we consider the frequency-uniform decomposition, there holds kk S(t)f kp . (1 + |t|)n|1/2−1/p| kk f kp .

Taking the summation to the above inequality over all k ∈ Z , we can get the relevant estimate in modulation spaces, which enable us to solve NLS 0 in modulation spaces Mp,1 , 1 6 p 6 ∞. Now we give a comparison between frequency-uniform and dyadic decompositions. Recalling that 4k ∼ F −1 χ{|ξ|∼2k } F

and noticing that |{ξ : |ξ| ∼ 2k }| = O(2nk ) and |Qk | = 1, we see that their Bernstein’s estimates are quite different: k4k f kq . 2n(1/p−1/q)k k4k f kp ,

kk f kq . kk f kp ,

p 6 q.

We find that there is no regularity increasement for the Bernstein estimate of k , which leads to the Schr¨odinger semi-group S(t) = eit∆ satisfies the following truncated decay estimate, kk S(t)f kp . (1 + |t|)−n(1/2−1/p) kk f kp0 ,

p > 2, 1/p + 1/p0 = 1. (6.3)

Comparing it with the classical Lp → Lp estimate

k4k S(t)f kp . |t|−n(1/2−1/p) k4k f kp0 ,

(6.4)

we see that the singularity at t = 0 disappears in (6.3). Recalling that in the classical Strichartz inequalities, in order to handle the singularity of |t|−n(1/2−1/p) at t = 0, we need condition n(1/2−1/p) 6 1, which arises from the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and it is an essential condition. To solve NLS with the nonlinearity |u|σ u, one need to improve the spatial regularity at least at the H˙ n/2−2/σ level for σ > 4/n. Considering the Strichartz inequalities with the frequency-uniform decomposition, due to the truncated decay, we can remove the condition n(1/2 − 1/p) 6 1. As a result, in solving NLS with the nonlinearity |u|σ u, it is not necessary to improve the spatial derivative regularity if σ is large. The frequency-uniform decomposition is more delicate than the dyadic decomposition and it is easier to handle the derivatives in the nonlinearity, say for k = (k1 , ..., kn ) with k1 1 and j 1, k∂x1 k f kp ∼ k1 kk f kp ,

6.2. Frequency-uniform decomposition, modulation spaces

159

Using the frequency-uniform decomposition techniques, the initial data s s should belong to modulation spaces Mp,q . The modulation space Mp,q s coincides with the Sobolev space H in the case p = q = 2. Recently, this technique was also developed to the Navier-Stokes equation and the dissipative nonlinear electrohydrodynamic system [247; 116; 56]. 6.2

Frequency-uniform decomposition, modulation spaces

Roughly speaking, dyadic decomposition operators combined with function spaces `q (Lp ) generate Besov spaces, frequency-uniform decomposition operators joint with function spaces `q (Lp ) produce modulation spaces. The modulation space was introduced by Feichtinger [73] in 1983, from the history point of view, it was defined by the short-time Fourier transform3 . During the past twenty years, the frequency-uniform decomposition had not been attached the importance to applications and it is even not mentioned in Gr¨ ochenig’s book [86]. However, from PDE point of view, the combination of frequency-uniform decomposition operators and Banach function spaces `q (X(Rn ))4 seems to be important in making nonlinear estimates, which contains an automatic decomposition on high-low frequencies. We now give an exact definition on frequency-uniform decomposition operators. Since χQk can not make differential operations, one needs to replace χQk in (6.1) by a smooth cut-off function. Let ρ ∈ S (Rn ), ρ : Rn → [0, 1] be a smooth function verifying ρ(ξ) = 1 for |ξ|∞ 6 1/2 and ρ(ξ) = 0 for |ξ|∞ > 15 . Let ρk be a translation of ρ, k ∈ Zn .

Proposition 6.4 (Dual space). Let s ∈ R and 0 < p, q < ∞. If p > 1, we denote 1/p + 1/p0 = 1; If 0 1, Proposition 6.4 is similar to that of Besov spaces, however, if 0 < p < 1, the result is quite different from that of Besov spaces. The details of the proof of Proposition 6.4 can be found in [246] by following the proof of the relevant result in Besov spaces. Remark 6.1. If p, q ∈ [1, ∞], Propositions 6.1 and 6.4 were obtained by Feichtinger [73]. In [246; 247], the cases 0 < p < 1 and 0 < q < 1 were considered. The proofs of the results in this section are due to [246; 247]. Soon after the work [247], Kobayashi [148] independently defined Mp,q for all 0 < p, q 6 ∞ and obtained Proposition 6.1. Almost at the same time as [246], Kobayashi [149] discussed the dual space of Mp,q and obtained partial results of Proposition 6.4: if 0 < p < 1 or 1 < q < ∞, he obtained Mp0 ,q0 ⊂ (Mp,q )∗ ⊂ M∞,∞ . For the other cases, he showed (Mp,q )∗ = Mp0 ,q0 . Recently, by using the molecular decomposition techniques of modulation spaces, Kobayashi and Sawano [150] reconsidered the s dual space of Mp,q and they also obtained the result of Proposition 6.4. It is worth to mention that Triebel [225] introduced a class of generalized modulation spaces for all indices 0 < p, q 6 ∞, however, those spaces have no complete norms, which seems harder to use in the study of PDEs.

Inclusions between Besov and modulation spaces

From the definitions, we see that Besov spaces and modulation spaces are rather similar, both of them are the combinations of frequency decomposition operators and function spaces `q (Lp ). In fact, we have the following inclusion results. Theorem 6.1 (Embedding). Let 0 < p, q 6 ∞ and s1 , s2 ∈ R. We have the following results. s1 s2 (1) Bp,q ⊂ Mp,q if and only if s1 > s2 + τ (p, q), where 1 1 1 1 − , n + −1 ; τ (p, q) = max 0, n q p q p s1 s2 (2) Mp,q ⊂ Bp,q if and only if s1 > s2 + σ(p, q), where 1 1 1 1 σ(p, q) = max 0, n − , n 1− − . p q p q

The inclusions between Besov and modulation spaces in the cases (1/p, 1/q) ∈ [0, 1]2 were first discussed by Gr¨obner [85] and he has never published his results. When (1/p, 1/q) is in the vertices of the square [0, 1]2 , Gr¨ obner’s results are optimal. Afterwards, Toft [222] obtained the sufficiency of Theorem 6.1 in the cases (1/p, 1/q) ∈ [0, 1]2 . Sugimoto and Tomita [210] showed the necessity of the first inclusion of Theorem 6.1 in the cases (1/p, 1/q) ∈ [0, 1]2 , and by duality they obtained the second inclusion is also sharp if (1/p, 1/q) ∈ [0, 1]2 and p, q 6= ∞. Sugimoto and Tomita’s idea is to use Feichtinger’s norm and the dilation property of modulation spaces. In [245; 246; 247] the authors proved the conclusions of Theorem 6.1 by using frequency-uniform decomposition techniques. Corollary 6.1. We have the following inclusions. s+n/2

B2,1

s s ⊂ M2,1 ⊂ B2,1 ,

s+n s s B∞,1 ⊂ M∞,1 ⊂ B∞,1 .

The above embedding theorem is of importance for the study of nonlinear PDEs and we give the details of the proof. We can first prove Theorem 6.1 for some special p, q and then by the interpolation to carry out the other cases. The following proof is a collection of [85; 247; 246;

Proof. [Proof of Theorem 6.1] (Sufficiency) First, we show that s+σ(p,q) s Mp,q ⊂ Bp,q . By Lemma 6.5, we see that the conclusion holds if 1 6 p, q 6 ∞. By Lemma 6.3 we have the result if 0 0} and (see Fig. 6.1), S1 = {(1/p, 1/q) ∈ R2+ : 1/q > 1/p, 1/p 6 1/2};

S2 = {(1/p, 1/q) ∈ R2+ : 1/q 6 1/p, 1/p + 1/q 6 1}; S3 = R2+ \ (S1 ∪ S2 ).

We first consider the case (1/p, 1/q) ∈ S3 . We have τ (p, q) = n(1/p + 1/q − 1). Take (p0 , q0 ) and (p1 , q1 ) satisfying 1 1 = + p0 p 1 1 = , p1 2

0 −1) Bpn(1/p ⊂ Mp0 ,∞ . 0 ,∞

A complex interpolation yields n(1/p+1/q−1) Bp,q ⊂ Mp,q .

Secondly, we consider the case (1/p, 1/q) ∈ S1 . If (1/p, 1/q) ∈ S˙ 1 (S˙ 1 denotes the set of all inner points of S1 ), then (1/p, 1/q) can be lying in the segment by connecting (1/∞, 1/∞) and a point (1/p1 , 1/q1 ) in the line {(1/p, 1/q) : p = 2, q < 2}. By a complex interpolation, we have n(1/q−1/p) Bp,q ⊂ Mp,q .

(6.44)

Thirdly, if (1/p, 1/q) ∈ S2 , the dual version of the first inclusion implies the result, as desired. (Necessity) We need to show that for any 0 < η 1, τ (p,q)−η Bp,q 6⊂ Mp,q .

Frequency-uniform decomposition techniques

NLS and NLKG in modulation spaces

As indicated in §6.1, the dispersive semi-group combined with the frequency-uniform decomposition operator has some advantages and we discuss them in this section. The results of this section can be found in [11; 12; 50; 247; 246]. 6.4.1

Schr¨ odinger and Klein-Gordon semigroup in modulation spaces

Let S(t) = eit4 denote the Schr¨odinger semi-group. In [247], Wang, Zhao and Guo obtained the uniform boundedness for the Ginzburg-Landau semigroup L(t) = e(a+i)t4 (a > 0) in modulation spaces and their proof is also adapted to the Schr¨ odinger semi-group (a = 0 in L(t)). First, we show that k S(t) : Lp → Lp is uniformly bounded on k ∈ Zn by following the proof in [247]. X 2 kk S(t)f kp 6 kF −1 σk+` eit|ξ| σk fˆkp |`|∞ 61

Shortly after the work [247], Proposition 6.6 is independently obtained by B´enyi, Gr¨ ochenig, Okoudjou and Rogers in [12] and their result contains α more general semi-group eit(−∆) with α 6 1, whose proof is based on the short-time frequency analysis technique. Miyachi, Nicola, Riveti, Taracco and Tomita [164] were able to consider the case α > 1, Chen, Fan and Sun α [38] obtained some refined estimates for eit(−∆) with any α > 0 by using the oscillatory integral estimates in higher spatial dimensions. Now we consider the truncated decay of S(t); cf. [246]. Let us recall 0 the Lp − Lp estimate of S(t), kS(t)f kp . |t|−n(1/2−1/p) kf kp0 , where 1/p + 1/p0 = 1. We also have X k k S(t)f kp . k k+` f kp0 , |`|∞ 61

(6.90)

Propositions 6.6 and 6.7 are optimal in the sense that the powers of time variable are sharp, cf. [51]. Now we consider the truncated decay estimate 1/2 for the Klein-Gordon semi-group G(t) = eitω where ω = I − ∆. X kk G(t)f kp 6 kF −1 σk+` eithξi σk fˆkp |`|∞ 61

Frequency-uniform decomposition techniques

Generally speaking, all of the Strichartz estimates in Sec. 3.2 hold if we α replace X ∗ and X α by Mp0 ,2 and Mp,2 in Sec. 3.2, respectively. However, do not forget that the estimate in (6.107) contains no singularity at t = 0, which leads that we can remove the restriction condition δ 6 1 in the Strichartz estimates on modulation spaces and the results are much better than those in Sec. 3.2. Proposition 6.10 (Strichartz inequalities). Let U (t) satisfy (6.107) and (6.108). For any γ > 2 ∨ (2/δ), we have kU (t)f k`α/2,q (Lγ (R,Lp )) . kf kM2,q .

Wellposedness for NLS and NLKG

We consider the Cauchy problem for NLS, iut + ∆u = f (u), u(0, x) = u0 (x). (6.135) n 0 ∞ Noticing that B∞,1 ⊂ M∞,1 ⊂ B∞,1 ⊂ L are sharp embeddings, up to 0 now, we can not get the wellposedness of NLS in L∞ or in B∞,1 . However, we can obtain the local wellposedness of NLS in M∞,1 . We have (see [11; 50]) Theorem 6.2. Let n > 1, f (u) = λ|u|κ u, κ ∈ 2N, λ ∈ R, u0 ∈ Mp,1 and 1 6 p 6 ∞. Then there exists a T > 0 such that (6.135) has a unique solution u ∈ C([0, T ), Mp,1 ). Moreover, if T < ∞, then lim supt%T ku(t)kMp,1 = ∞. 2

If the nonlinearity has an exponential growth, say f (u) = λ(e|u| − 1)u, n/2 0 the result in Theorem 6.2 also holds. Noticing that B2,1 ⊂ M2,1 ⊂ B2,1 ∩ n C(R ) are sharp embeddings, we can get that NLS is global wellposed in M2,1 if initial data are sufficiently small. Theorem 6.3. Let n > 1, f (u) = λ|u|κ u, κ ∈ 2N, λ ∈ R, κ > 4/n, u0 ∈ M2,1 and there exists a sufficiently small δ > 0 such that ku0 kM2,1 6 δ.

So, by (6.144), H¨ older’s and Minkowski’s inequalities, we get that ku1 u2 k`1 (Lγ (R,Lp ))  1/γ γ X Z X  k i u1 (t)kp1 k j u2 (t)kp2 χ|k−i−j|6k0 (n) dt . k∈Z

By the induction and (6.146), we can get the result, as desired.

Taking p ∈ N, p ∈ [2 + 4/n, 2 + κ] and X = `1 (L∞ (R, L2 )) ∩ `1 (Lp (R, Lp )), we easily see that 2 6n p

we easily see that, if M > 0 is sufficiently small, ku0 kM2,1 . M/2, then T : (D, d) → (D, d) is a contraction mapping, which leads that (6.135) has a solution u ∈ X.

Applying (6.161) and combining the proof of Theorem 6.3, we can get the conclusion of Theorem 6.4. We now consider the initial value problem for NLKG, utt + (I − ∆)u + f (u) = 0,

u(0) = u0 , ut (0) = u1 .

(6.162)

Analogous to NLS, we have Theorem 6.5. Let n > 1, f (u) = λ|u|κ u, κ ∈ 2N, λ ∈ R, (u0 , u1 ) ∈ −1 Mp,1 × Mp,1 and 1 6 p 6 ∞. Then there exists a T > 0 such that (6.135) −1 has a unique solution (u, ut ) ∈ C([0, T ), Mp,1 ) × C([0, T ), Mp,1 ). Moreover, if T < ∞, then lim supt%T (ku(t)kMp,1 + kut (t)kM −1 ) = ∞. p,1

If the nonlinearity has an exponential growth, the corresponding results as in Theorem 6.5 also hold. Theorem 6.6. Let n > 1, f (u) = λu1+κ , κ ∈ N and κ > 4/n. Put σ=

Theorem 6.7. Let n > 2, f (u) = sinh u − u and σ = (n + 2)/4n. Assume σ−1 σ that (u0 , u1 ) ∈ M2,1 × M2,1 and there exists a sufficiently small δ > 0 such σ + ku1 k σ−1 6 δ. Then (6.162) has a unique solution that ku0 kM2,1 M 2,1

which is an equivalent version of the Schr¨odinger flow [61; 88; 114; 261]. The non-elliptic gDNLS arises in the strongly interacting manybody systems near the criticality, where anisotropic interactions are manifested by the presence of the non-elliptic case, as well as additional residual terms which involve cross derivatives of the independent variables [48; 63; 227]. Some water wave and completely integrable system models in higher spatial dimensions are also non-elliptic, cf. [1; 152; 258; 259]. A large amount of work has been devoted to the study of gDNLS, see [100; 101; 114; 125; 126; 130; 133; 135; 143; 147; 107; 186; 209; 199]. Since the nonlinearity in gDNLS contains derivative terms and the Strichartz inequalities can not absorb any derivatives, gDNLS can not be solved if we use only the Strichartz estimate. One needs to look for some other ways to handle the derivative terms in the nonlinearity. Up to now, three kinds of methods seem to be very useful for gDNLS. One is to use the energy estimate to deal with the derivatives in the nonlinearity, the second way is to use Bourgain’s space X s,b and the third technique is Kato’s smooth effect estimates. Of course, there are some connections between these methods. We will use the smooth effect estimates together with the frequencyuniform decomposition techniques to study gDNLS and we show that it is globally wellposed and scattering in a class of modulation spaces. 9 In

fact, we only need the condition |cβ | 6 C |β| .

For the sake of brevity, we simplify the nonlinearity as F (u, u ¯, ∇u, ∇¯ u) = ~λ·∇(|u|2 u). According to the equivalent integral form of gDNLS, one needs to solve u(t) = S(t)u0 − iA ~λ · ∇(|u|2 u). On the basis of the smooth effect of the Schr¨odinger semi-group in 1D, we easily get its smooth effect estimates in all dimensions,

Frequency-localized linear estimates

We consider the frequency-localized versions of the smooth effect estimate, the maximal function estimate and their relations to the Strichartz estimate for the Schr¨ odinger semi-group. Let {ηk }k∈Z ∈ Υ1 and σk (ξ) := ηk1 (ξ1 )...ηkn (ξn ).

Proof. (6.198) and (6.199) are corollaries of the Strichartz estimate. By (6.195) we can get (6.202). For convenience, we write Z Z k S(t − τ )f (τ )dτ, ψ(t) dt . (6.203) Lk (f, ψ) := R

Now we prove (6.200). Applying the Strichartz inequality, Lemma 6.9 and Proposition 6.16, we have

By the duality, (6.210) and Christ-Kiselev’s lemma (see Appendix), we can get (6.200). Changing the role of f and ψ, we immediately get that (6.201) holds for r > 2. If r = 2, (6.201) is a straightforward consequence of the smooth effect estimate of S(t). Corollary 6.5. Let 2 6 q < ∞, q > 4/n and 4/n 6 p < ∞. We have the following results.

By (6.208) in Corollary 6.5, the operator k ∂x1 A : L1x1 L2x2 ,...,xn L2t → and the partial derivative ∂x1 is successfully absorbed. How2 2 ever, A in the space L∞ x1 Lx2 ,...,xn Lt can not handle the partial derivative ∂x2 . So, one needs to use another way to deal with ∂x2 A when it appears 2 2 in the space L∞ x1 Lx2 ,...,xn Lt . 2 2 L∞ x1 Lx2 ,...,xn Lt

If r > 2, by the duality, Christ-Kiselev’s lemma and (6.217), we have (6.214). If r = 2, in view of the smooth effect estimate of S(t), we see that (6.214) holds. By Proposition 6.15, we have (6.215). Lemma 6.10. Let ψ : [0, ∞) → [0, 1] be a smooth cut-off function satisfying ψ(x) = 1 for |x| 6 1; and ψ(x) = 0 for |x| > 2.

Frequency-uniform decomposition techniques

Considering the mapping T : u(t) → S(t)u0 − iA F (u, u ¯, ∇u, ∇¯ u), we show that T : X → X is a contraction mapping. Since kukX = k¯ ukX , we can assume that X F (u, u ¯, ∇u, ∇¯ u) = F (u, ∇u) := cκν uκ (∇u)ν , m+16κ+|ν|<∞

where (∇u)ν = uνx11 ...uνxnn . For convenience, we write v1 = ... = vκ = u, vκ+1 = ... = vκ+ν1 = ux1 , ..., vκ+|ν|−νn +1 = ... = vκ+|ν| = uxn . By (6.183), for α = 0, 1, we have X (i) %1 (∂xαj S(t)u0 ) . hki i1/2 hkj i2 kk u0 kL2 (Rn ) 6 ku0 kM 5/2 . 2,1

Conservations, Morawetz’ estimates of nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations This result is too beautiful to be false; it is more important to have beauty in one’s equations than to have them fit experiment. —— Paul Dirac

On mentioning evolution partial differential equations, we will naturally think whether they satisfy some physical conservation laws, such as the mass conservation, the energy conservation and the momentum conservation, and so on. For example, as indicated in (4.2), we see that NLS (4.1) satisfies the conservations of mass and energy. In this chapter, we will derive some conservation laws by using N¨other’s theorem and Morawetz’ inequalities by the virial identity. It is known that Morawetz’ estimates are fundamental tools in the study of the scattering theory for NLS, see for instance, [27; 40; 43; 218]. 7.1

N¨ other’s theorem

The energy conservation law means that it does not vary with time, in other word, it has a certain symmetry with respect to the time. This fundamental connection between conservation laws and symmetries was first discovered in 1915 (published in 1918) by Emmy N¨other1 and was other’s theorem”. In short, N¨other’s theorem states informally called the “N¨ that any differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. N¨other’s theorem is important, both because of the insight it gives into conservation laws, and also as a practical calculational tool. It allows us to determine the conserved quantities from 1 Amalie Emmy N¨ other (1882-1935) was a German-born mathematician known for her ground-breaking contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics. She revolutionized the theories of rings, fields, and algebras. In physics, N¨ other’s theorem explains the fundamental connection between symmetry and conservation laws.

the observed symmetries of a physical system. The latter turns out to be easier to find than the former. Application of N¨ other’s theorem allows physicists to gain powerful insights into any general theories in physics, by just analyzing the various transformations that would make the form of the laws involved invariant. For example, the invariance of physical systems with respect to the spatial translation (in other words, the laws of physics do not vary with locations in space) gives the conservation law of the linear momentum; the invariance with respect to the rotation gives the conservation law of the angular momentum; the invariance with respect to the time translation gives the well-known conservation law of energy. But how to derive the associated conserved quantities of its if we know that an equation has a symmetry group? Let us begin by recalling some concepts of the calculus of variations. Suppose the interval I ⊂ R, the generalized coordinate q is dependent on the time t. Assume that L : Rnq × Rnq˙ × I 7→ R is smooth and convex with respect to the first slot q˙ (The dot indicates the derivative with respect to the time.), then we call the function L to be a Lagrangian 2 of the system. For some q satisfying the related boundary conditions, we define the action functional Z t1 ˙ I[q] = L(q(t), q(t), t)dt. t0

Hamilton’s principle states that the true evolution of a system described by generalized coordinates q between two specified states q(t0 ) and q(t1 ) at two specified times t0 and t1 is an extremum (i.e., a stationary point, a minimum, maximum or saddle point) of the action functional I[q], in other word, the first variation of the action functional I[q] is zero. Let q(t) represent the true evolution of the system between two specified states q(t0 ) and q(t1 ) at two specified times t0 and t1 . And let ε(t) be a small perturbation that is zero at the endpoints of the trajectory def

ε(t0 ) = ε(t1 ) == 0. (7.1) To the first order in the perturbation ε(t), the change in the action functional δIZ would be Z t1 t1 ∂L ∂L ˙ − L(q, q)) ˙ dt = + ε˙ · dt, δI = (L(q + ε, q˙ + ε) ε· ∂q ∂ q˙ t0 t0

2 It is named after Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813), who was an Italian-born mathematician and astronomer, making significant contributions to all fields of analysis, to number theory, and to classical and celestial mechanics. He is one of the founders of the calculus of variations. Roughly speaking, the Lagrangian of a dynamical system is a function that summarizes the dynamics of the system. In classical mechanics, the Lagrangian is defined as the kinetic energy of the system minus its potential energy.

By the boundary condition (7.1), the first term vanishes, and then Z t1 ∂L d ∂L δI = ε· − dt = 0. ∂q dt ∂ q˙ t0 Noticing that we do not make any assumptions to the generalized coordinates q except that all of the generalized coordinates are independent of each other. Thus, we can apply the fundamental theorem of variational calculus to obtain an Euler-Lagrange equation d ∂L ∂L − = 0, (7.2) dt ∂ q˙ ∂q which is a system involving n second-order equations with respect to q(t). The Legendre transformation 3 of L is ˙ H(q(t), p(t), t) = max[p(t) · q˙ − L(q(t), q(t), t)]. q˙

˙ = p(t) · q˙ − L(q(t), q(t), ˙ Let M (p, q) t). In order to reach the maximum ˙ we have to require that the first-order partial of M with respect to q, ˙ with respect to q˙ is zero and that its second partial derivative of M (p, q) derivative is less than zero (this can be guaranteed by the convexity of L, 2 ˙ ˙ i.e. ∂∂ q˙L2 > 0). Thus, if p(t) = ∂L ∂ q˙ (q(t), q(t), t), then M (p, q) reaches the maximum, i.e.   p(t) = ∂L (q(t), q(t), ˙ t), ∂ q˙  H(q(t), p(t), t) = p(t)q˙ − L(q(t), q(t), ˙ t),

which are called Hamilton’s equation. This is a system of 2n first-order equations in (p(t), q(t)). Denote u(t) = (p(t), q(t)) ∈ R2n , Hu = (Hp , Hq ) and define the matrix 0 −I J= , I 0 where I denotes the unit matrix, then Hamilton’s equation (7.3) can be written as4 2

u˙ = J Hu .

(7.4)

Notice that J = −I and Hamilton’s equations are defined on an even dimensional space. It suggests that there may be a nice connection with complex numbers. For (x, y) ∈ R2 , define z = x + iy, z¯ = x − iy, i2 = −1. Define ∂z = 21 (∂x − i∂y ) and ∂z¯ = 12 (∂x + i∂y ). It is clear that ∂z z = ∂z¯z¯ = 1 and ∂z z¯ = ∂z¯z = 0, that is, z¯ and z are independent of each other. Let z = q + ip, then (7.3) yields z˙ = q˙ + ip˙ = −i(Hq + iHp ) = −2iH¯z .

We give an example. Let I be a time interval, u : Rn × I 7→ C, u and its derivatives are smooth and vanish at the infinity. Assume that the Hamiltonian is defined by Z Z 1 1 |∇u|2 dx = ∇u∇¯ udx. H = H[u, u ¯] = 2 R 2 R The usual calculus of variations argument shows Z H[u, u ¯ + τ v¯] − H[u, u ¯] 1 1 lim = (−∆u)¯ v dx = h−∆u, vi. τ →0 τ 2 R 2

Therefore, Hu¯ [u, u ¯] = − 21 ∆u and the associated Hamilton’s equation is u˙ = −2iHu¯ = i∆u,

which is precisely the linear Schr¨odinger equation. Now, we consider the n-dimensional nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation iut + ∆u = F 0 (|u|2 )u.

Substituting (7.6) into the above equation and taking the complex conjugate, we can obtain the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (7.5). Now, we give another statement for N¨other’s theorem: Theorem 7.1 (N¨ other’s theorem). If the action functional is invariant under a family of transformations, then the solutions of the associated Euler-Lagrange equation satisfy a conservation law. We mainly consider the case of the one parameter family of transformations and apply N¨ other’s theorem to the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (7.5). For convenience, denote ξ = (t, x) = (ξ0 , ξ1 , · · · , ξn ), ∂0 = ∂t , ∂ = (∂t , ∇x ) = (∂0 , ∂1 , · · · , ∂n ), and u = (u1 , u2 ) = (u, u ¯), and denote the integral domain D := [t0 , t1 ] × Rn .

Now, let a(t, x) be an arbitrary real-valued function on R1+n , and define the virial potential Va (t) and the Morawetz5 action Ma (t) associated to a as Z Va (t) := a(t, x)|u(t, x)|2 dx, Ma (t) := ∂t Va (t). Rn

For convenience, denote G(|u|2 ) = F 0 (|u|2 )|u|2 − F (|u|2 ). By (7.5) and the integration by parts, we have Z Ma (t) = ∂t Va (t) = at |u|2 + 2Im(¯ u∇a · ∇u) dx, (7.39) n ZR ∂t Ma (t) = ∂tt Va (t) = (att − ∆2 a)|u|2 dx Rn Z +4 Im(¯ u∇at · ∇u)dx Rn

2 For the defocusing case F (|u|2 ) = p+1 |u|p+1 where p > 1, i.e. G(|u|2 ) = R p−1 p+1 , it implies that the convexity of Rn |x|2 |u|2 dx can be controlled p+1 |u| 2 |u|p+1 with p > 1 + n4 , by the energy. For the focusing case F (|u|2 ) = − p+1 R p+1 i.e. G(|u|2 ) = − p−1 , the quantity ∂tt Rn |x|2 |u|2 dx can be bounded p+1 |u| from above by a multiple of the energy, thus if the energy is negative and R 2 |x| |u|2 dx is finite, the solution of the equation necessarily has a blowup Rn in finite time.

Scattering results for NLS

The Morawetz estimates are time-decaying estimates, which are very useful for us to study the existence of the scattering operators. In this section, we only state some results on the existence of the scattering operators for NLS iut + ∆u = |u|p u, u(0, x) = u0 (x). (7.54) The existence of the scattering operators in the H 1 -subcritical but L2 supercritical cases was shown by Nakanishi [176] in 1 and 2 spatial dimensions and by Ginibre and Velo [79] in higher spatial dimensions n > 3: Theorem 7.5. Let p ∈ (4/n, 4/(n − 2)) for n > 3, and p ∈ (4/n, ∞) for n = 1, 2. For any initial datum u0 ∈ H 1 with E(u0 ) < ∞, (7.54) has a p(n+2)/2 unique global solution u ∈ Ct0 (H˙ x1 ) ∩ Lt,x satisfying Z ∞Z |u(t, x)|p(n+2)/2 dxdt 6 C(E(u0 )), −∞

and the mapping u0 7→ u± (0) is a homeomorphism from H˙ 1 (Rn ) to itself. Next, we introduce briefly the related results for the scattering theory of H 1 -critical defocusing NLS 4

iut + ∆u = |u| n−2 u, u(0, x) = u0 (x).

(7.55)

In 1999, J. Bourgain [19] proved the global wellposedness of the solution with radial initial data in 3 and 4 dimensions. Then M. Grillakis [84] gave a different proof for Bourgain’s results in 2000. In 2005, these results were generalized to any spherically symmetric initial data in any dimensions n > 3 by T. Tao [217]. At the same time (the paper was published in 2008), J. Colliander, M. Keel, G. Staffilani, H. Takaoka, and T. Tao [44] obtained the global well-posedness and the scattering theory for any general initial data in three dimensions based on the induction arguments on the energy of Bourgain’s. They applied the induction argument not only on the frequency space but also on the physical space, and replaced the original Morawetz’ inequality (7.43) by Morawetz’ interaction inequality (7.53) in order to deal with the non-radial cases. In addition, the Morawetz’ interaction inequality, together with the almost conserved quantity of the momentum which controlled the mass in the frequency space, described the possibilities of the energy concentration. For the higher dimensional case, it is generalized by E. Ryckman and M. Visan [196] for n = 4 and by M. Visan [232] for n > 5. Thus, the scattering in the energy class is now known for (7.55) with any general initial data in all dimensions n > 3, namely, as stated in the following results [44; 196; 232]. Theorem 7.6. Let n > 3. For any initial datum u0 ∈ H 1 with E(u0 ) < ∞, 2(n+2) then (7.55) yields a unique global solution u ∈ Ct0 (H˙ x1 ) ∩ Lt,xn−2 such that Z ∞ Z 2(n+2) |u(t, x)| n−2 dxdt 6 C(E(u0 )), −∞

is the energy conserved quantity. The above theorem implies the scattering results [44; 232; 196]: Corollary 7.1. Let n > 3. Assume that u0 has finite energies, u is the 2(n+2) unique global solution of (7.55) on u ∈ Ct0 (H˙ x1 ) ∩ Lt,xn−2 . Then, there exist

finite-energy solutions u± of the linear Schr¨ odinger equation (i∂t + ∆)u± = 0 such that ku± (t) − u(t)kH˙ 1 → 0, t → ±∞, x

and the mapping u0 7→ u± (0) is a homeomorphism from H˙ 1 (Rn ) to itself. Along with the perfect solution of the scattering theory of the energycritical defocusing NLS, most researchers transfer their interests into another important problem – the global well-posedness and scattering theories of the mass-critical defocusing NLS 4

iut + ∆u = |u| n u, u(0, x) = u0 (x).

(7.56)

At present, there are some results in this aspect: • n > 1, for sufficiently small initial datum u0 ∈ L2 (Rn ), the solution of (7.56) is global well-posed and scatters. • n > 2, for radial initial data u0 ∈ L2 (Rn ), the solution of (7.56) is global well-posed and scatters, cf. [138; 140]. • n > 1, for any initial data u0 ∈ L2 (Rn ), the solution of (7.56) is global well-posed and scatters, cf. [64; 65; 66]. For other nonlinearities, there are also some interesting results. K. Nakanishi established the scattering theory for the mixed power nonlinearity |u|p1 u+|u|p2 u for 4/n < p1 6 p2 < 4/(n−2) and 4/n 6 p1 < p2 6 2∗ −2 in the energy space H 1 , cf. [176; 179; 220]. For the nonlinearity (V ∗ |u|2 )u, i.e. the Hartree equation, he also proved the existence of the scattering operator in H 1 for V ∈ Lp1 + Lp2 , p1 , p2 > 1 and n/4 < p2 6 p1 < n/2, cf. [175]. For the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with the following nonlinearity X λ2k f (u) = µ |u|2k u, µ, λ > 0, n = 1, 2, (7.57) (2k)! k>1+2/n

the scattering operator also exists under some assumptions, cf. [244]. In addition, there is a great process for focusing nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations iut + ∆u = −|u|p u, (7.58) u(0, x) = u0 (x). For H˙ 1 -critical nonlinearities in n = 3, 4, 5 dimensions, i.e. p = 4/(n − 2), the solution of (7.58) is global well-posed and scatters for any radial initial datum u0 ∈ H˙ 1 (Rn ) whose energy and kinetic energy are less than those of the ground state, cf. [124]; For the n > 5 dimensional case, the condition “radial” can be eliminated and it holds that the solution of (7.58) is global well-posed and scatters for any initial datum u0 ∈ H˙ 1 (Rn ) whose energy and kinetic energy are less than those of the ground state, cf. [139]. Otherwise, in the n > 4 dimensions, for a global solution u to the focusing mass-critical nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (7.58) (where p = 4/n) with spherically symmetric H 1 initial data and mass equal to that of the ground state Q, u does not scatter then, up to the phase rotation and the scaling, u is the solitary wave eitQ . And the only spherically symmetric minimalmass non-scattering solutions are, up to the phase rotation and the scaling, the pseudo-conformal ground state and the ground state solitary wave, cf. [137]. Recently, scattering for the focusing energy-subcritical NLS has been studied by Fang, Xie and Cazenave [72].

Chapter 8

Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff

The kinetic theory of the gas is a theory devoted to the study of evolutionary behaviors of the gas in the one-particle phase space of position and velocity. Recently, the kinetic theory is getting more and more recognized to be significant both in mathematics and practical applications as a key theory connecting the microscopic and macroscopic theory of gases and fluids. In this sense, the kinetic theory is in-between or mesoscopic. In the macroscopic scales where the gas and fluid are regarded as a continuum, their motion is described by the macroscopic quantities such as macroscopic mass density, bulk velocity, temperature, pressure, stresses, heat flux and so on. The Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, compressible or incompressible, are the most famous equations among governing equations proposed so far in fluid dynamics. The extreme contrary is the microscopic scale where the gas, fluid, and hence any matter, are looked at as a many-body system of microscopic particles (atom/molecule). Thus, the motion of the system is governed by the coupled Newton equations, within the framework of the classical mechanics. The number of the involved equations is 6N if the total number of the microscopic particles is N . Although the Newton equation is the first principle of the classical mechanics, it is not of practical use because the number of the equations is so enormous (N ∼ the Avogadro number 6 × 1023 ) that it is hopeless to specify all the initial data, and we must appeal to statistics. On the other hand, the macroscopic (fluid dynamical) quantities mentioned above are related to statistical average of quantities depending on the microscopic state. Thus, the kinetic theory that gives the mesoscopic descriptions of the gas and fluid is noticed to be a key theory that links the microscopic and

macroscopic scales. The Boltzmann equation, which is the subject of these notes, is the most classical but fundamental equation in the mesoscopic kinetic theory. The goal of this chapter is to introduce, and make a preliminary discussion of the Boltzmann equation. We mainly use harmonic analysis to consider the Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff. We will show that the Boltzmann collision operator without angular cutoff behaves like a singular integral operator or pseudo-differential operator whose leading term is characterized by the operator (−∆)ν/2 . This was first pointed out by Pao [188], see also [228], and was formulated explicitly by Lions [160]. The optimal Sobolev exponent ν/2 is due to Villani [231]. In the middle of 1990s, Desvillettes managed to prove the regularity of solutions to some simplified models for the spatially homogeneous problems, cf. [57; 58]. Around 2000s, the regularity induced by the grazing collision was analyzed in terms of the entropy production integral, cf. the work [2] and others. In particular, [2] establishes several elegant formulations associated with the collision operator which have been essentially used to the study of the spatially homogeneous problem.

Models for collisions in kinetic theory

In this section, we will first give the derivation of the Boltzmann equation, in details, one can refer to [28; 59; 229].

8.1.1

Transport model

The object of kinetic theory is the modelling of a gas (or plasma, or any system made up of a large number of particles) by a distribution function in the particle phase space. This phase space includes macroscopic variables, i.e. the position in physical space, but also microscopic variables, which describe the state of the particles. In the present survey, we shall restrict ourselves, most of the time, to systems made of a single species of particles (no mixtures), and which obey the laws of classical mechanics (non-relativistic, non-quantum). Assume that the gas is contained in a (bounded or unbounded) domain Ω ⊂ Rn (n = 3 in applications) and observed on a time interval [0; T ], or [0; +∞). Then, under the above simplifying assumptions, the corresponding

kinetic model is a nonnegative function f (t; x; v), defined on [0; T ]× Ω× Rn. Here the space Rn = Rnv is the space of possible velocities, and should be thought of as the tangent space to Ω. f (t; x; v) is the phase space density of particles which at time t and point x move with velocity v, where x = (x1 , x2 , ...xn ) and v = (v1 , v2 , ...vn ). When there is no interaction between the particles and their surrounding environment (including themselves), they will move at a constant velocity and along straight lines. In other words, for all times t and s, point x and velocity v, a particle which at time t sits at point x and move with velocity v will sit at time t + s at point x + vs and will keep its velocity v. This entails that f (t + s, x + vs, v) = f (t, x, v), for any s,

(8.2) implies that the change rate of density function is zero if there is no collisions of the particles. When a given force F (t, x) acts on the particles (such a force can also depend on v in specific situations, for example when the particles are charged and feel the action of a magnetic field, or when the force is the drag force due to a surrounding gas), the particles will follow the trajectories of the following system of differential equations: x(t) ˙ = v(t)

When the forces acting on the particles are mainly due to the collisions of the particles between themselves, one is led to write down the Boltzmann equation. (Very often, particles will be assumed to interact via a given

interaction potential φ(r), r distance between particles). We first shall make several postulates: (1). We assume that particles interact via binary collisions : this is a vague term describing the process in which two particles happen to come very close to each other, so that their respective trajectories are strongly deviated in a very short time. Underlying this hypothesis is an implicit assumption that the gas is dilute enough that the effect of interactions involving more than two particles can be neglected. Typically, if we deal with a three-dimensional gas of n hard spheres of radius r, this would mean N r3 1, N r2 ' 1. (8.6) (2). Moreover, we assume that these collisions are localized both in space and time, i.e. they are brief events which occur at a given position x and a given time t. This means that the typical duration of a collision is very small compared to the typical time scale of the description, and also quantities such as the impact parameter (see below) are negligible in front of the typical space scale (say, a space scale on which variations due to the transport operator are of order unity). (3). Next, we further assume these collisions to be elastic : momentum and kinetic energy are preserved in a collision process. (4). We also assume collisions to be microreversible. This word can be understood in a purely deterministic way : microscopic dynamics are time-reversible; or in a probabilistic way : if let (v, v∗ ) stand for the velocities before collision, and (v 0 , v∗0 ) stand for the velocities after collision; the probability that velocities (v, v∗ )are changed into (v 0 , v∗0 ) in a collision process, is the same as the probability that (v 0 , v∗0 ) are changed into (v, v∗ ). (5). Finally, we make the Boltzmann chaos assumption : the velocities of two particles which are about to collide are uncorrelated. Roughly speaking, this means that if we randomly pick up two particles at position x, which have not collided yet, then the joint distribution of their velocities will be given by a tensor product (in velocity space) of f with itself. Note that this assumption implies an asymmetry between past and future: indeed, in general if the pre-collisional velocities are uncorrelated, then post-collisional velocities have to be correlated! Thus we only take into account interactions between particles of rarefied gas, equation (8.2) can be written by a generalized form (8.7) ∂t f + v · ∇x f = Q(f )(v). (8.7) means that change rate of density function of particles depends on itself, is a function of f , and is not zero when there exist collision between particles. Next we will derive the form of Q(f ).

We denote by f2 (v1 , v2 ) the joint density of two particles with respective velocities v1 and v2 . It follows (due to the assumption that the collisions are binary) that we must take into account only two distinct phenomena which modify the number density of particles with velocity v. First, because of a possible collision with a particle of velocity v∗ , a particle which had v for velocity will end up with a velocity v 0 (its partner in the collision will end up with velocity v∗0 ). Secondly, some particle with a velocity w will encounter a particle with velocity w∗ and will end up with a velocity v after the collision (its partner in the collision will end up with velocity w∗0 ). We now denote by p(v1 , v2 → v3 , v4 ) the (density of) probability that for two particles sitting at the same point x at a given time t, a collision occurs and transforms the ingoing velocities v1 and v2 in the outgoing velocities v3 and v4 (we shall see that in the so-called non cutoff case, this quantity is in fact far from being a probability density, since it is not integrable). We see that Q(f ) is the sum of two terms −Q− (f ) and Q+ (f ) which respectively correspond to the two phenomena described above. According to their definition Q− (f ) and Q+ (f ) write Z Z Z f2 (v, v∗ )p(v, v∗ → v 0 , v∗0 )dv∗0 dv 0 dv∗ , Q− (f )(v) = (8.8) +

From the assumption (4), it follows that ∀ v1 , v2 , v3 , v4 , p(v1 , v2 → v3 , v4 ) = p(v3 , v4 → v1 , v2 ). Moreover, using the assumption (5), since v and v∗ are irrelative variables, w and w∗ are irrelative variables; we have that f2 (v, v∗ ) = f (v)f (v∗ ) and f2 (w, w∗ ) = f (w)f (w∗ ).

Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff

Let us explain (8.12) a little bit. This operator can formally be split, in a self-evident way, into a gain and a loss term, Q(f ; f ) = Q+ (f ; f )−Q−(f ; f ): The loss term counts all collisions in which a given particle of velocity v will encounter another particle, of velocity v∗ . As a result of such a collision, this particle will in general change its velocity, and this will make less particles with velocity v. On the other hand, each time particles collide with respective velocities v 0 and v∗0 , then the v 0 particle may acquire v as new velocity after the collision, and this will make more particles with velocity v : this is the meaning of the gain term. Next, we only need to give the expression of p(v, v∗ → v 0 , v∗0 ). Using the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in a collision, we have v + v∗ = v 0 + v∗0 , (8.13) |v|2 + |v∗ |2 = |v 0 |2 + |v∗0 |2 . Since this is a system of n + 1 scalar equations for 2n scalar unknowns, it is natural to expect that its solutions can be defined in terms of n − 1 parameters. Here is a convenient representation of all these solutions, which we shall sometimes call the σ-representation: v0 =

|v − v∗ | v + v∗ |v − v∗ | v + v∗ + σ, v∗0 = − σ. 2 2 2 2

The Galilean invariance which holds in the context of binary collisions entails that the measure p(v, v∗ → v 0 , v∗0 ) can only depend on |v − v∗ | and v−v∗ 0 0 |v−v∗ | · σ, p(v, v∗ → v , v∗ ) can be written by B(·, ·). We now can write down the final form of Boltzmann’s collision operator : Z Z v − v∗ Q(f, f ) = B(|v − v∗ |, · σ){f (v∗0 )f (v 0 ) − f (v∗ )f (v)}dσdv∗ , |v − v∗ | Rn S n−1 (8.15) where function B is called the Boltzmann collision cross section (or the collision kernel). For convenience, we shall also use the bilinear form Q(g, f ) related to the quadratic form Q(f, f ) and defined by Z Z Q(g, f ) = B(|v − v∗ |, σ){g(v∗0 )f (v 0 ) − g(v∗ )f (v)}dσdv∗ . (8.16) Rn

S n−1

For simplicity, we sometimes use standard abbreviations: g(v∗0 )f (v 0 ) = g∗0 f 0 and g(v∗ )f (v) = g∗ f . Finally, we write down the standard form of the Boltzmann equation ∂t f + v · ∇x f = Q(f, f )(v),

(8.17)

where Q(f, f ) is given by (8.15). The spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation describes the behavior of a dilute gas, in which the velocity distribution of particles is assumed to be independent of the position; it reads ∂t f = Q(f, f )(v),

(8.18)

where the unknown f = f (t, v) is assumed to be nonnegative, and stands for the density of particles at time t with velocity v. These equations are called homogeneous since f is assumed to be independent of the position. This model is simple, in this chapter we only consider (8.18). 8.1.3

Cross section

In most cases, the collision kernel B cannot be expressed explicitly. However, to capture its main properties, it is usually assumed to have the form: v − v∗ π , σi, 0 6 θ 6 , |v − v∗ | 2 (8.19) where the deviation angle θ is the angle between pre- and post-collisional velocities. Using n-dimensional spherical coordinates, we have Z Z π2 n−2 B(|v − v∗ |, cos θ) sinn−2 θdθ, B(|v − v∗ |, σ)dσ = |S | B(|v − v∗ |, σ) = Φ(|v − v∗ |)b(cos θ), cos θ = h

where |S n−2 | denotes the surface area of unit sphere in n dimension. The collision kernel should be computed in terms of the interaction potential φ. Here, we consider the important potential: inverse-power law potentials. It is possible to (almost) explicitly compute the cross section if potential φ(r) is inverse-power law potentials, that is, the inter particle force is proportional to r−s (with r denoting the interparticle distance and s > 2). In such a case (and in dimension 3) B writes s−5

Because of the difficulties entailed by this singularity, Grad has proposed to introduce an angular cutoff near θ = 0. It means that we replace B in (8.20) and (8.21) by a new cross section cross

In the sequel,we shall speak of cutoff cross sections (cutoff potentials or Grad’s angular cut-off) when B is locally integrable, and of non cutoff cross sections (or non cutoff potentials) when B has a singularity like in (8.21). In this chapter, we mainly consider the Boltzmann equation without cutoff cross section. Note that the separation Q(f, f ) = Q+ (f, f )−Q− (f, f ) make sense if B is cutoff cross section, where Z Z v − v∗ Q+ (f, f ) = B(|v − v∗ |, · σ)f (v∗0 )f (v 0 )dσdv∗ , (8.23) |v − v∗ | Rn S n−1 Z Z v − v∗ Q− (f, f ) = B(|v − v∗ |, · σ)f (v∗ )f (v)dσdv∗ .

separation is not allowed for the non-cutoff cross section but is legitimate as an intermediate step in the calculation. In this chapter, we mainly consider the inverse-power law potentials, the cross section B have the form: B(|v − v∗ |, σ) = |v − v∗ |γ b(cos θ).

If γ > 0, it is called hard potentials; in general, we consider the case of 0 < γ 6 2. If γ = 0, it is called Maxwellian potentials. If −n < γ < 0, it is called soft potentials; for −2 < γ < 0, it is called moderately soft potentials, for γ 6 −2 it is called very soft potentials. Note that if s = 2 then φ(r) becomes Coulomb potential, which leads to Fokker-Planck-Landau equation, we do not consider this model in this book. 8.2

Basic surgery tools for the Boltzmann operator

In this section, we give some basic tools which one often needs for a fine study of the Boltzmann operator. In details, one can refer to [59; 229]. 1.Symmetrization of the collision kernel. In view of formulas (8.14), the quantity f∗0 f 0 − f∗ f is invariant under the change of variables σ → −σ. From the physical point of view this reflects the undiscernability of particles. Thus one can replace (from the very beginning, if necessary) B by its symmetrized version ¯ σ) = {B(z, σ) + B(z, −σ)}Iz·σ>0 . B(z,

This is the reason why we assume that angle θ varies from 0 to π2 in (8.19). In fact, we get rid of collisions with deflexion angle larger than π2 by this ¯ in the above equality. symmetrization trick. B in (8.19) is indeed B 2. Pre-postcollisional change of variables. A universal tool in the Boltzmann theory is the involutive change of variables with unit Jacobian v−v∗ (v, v∗ , σ) → (v 0 , v∗0 , k), where k = |v−v is the unit vector along v − v∗ . ∗| Indeed, denote the mapping Φ : (v, v∗ , σ) → (v 0 , v∗0 , k), then it’s easy to verify that Φ2 = I. Thus the Jacobian of Φ is 1. Then for any function f we have Z Z Z f (v, v∗ , v 0 , v∗0 , σ)dσdv∗ dv Rn Rn S n−1 Z Z Z (8.26) v − v∗ = f (v 0 , v∗0 , v, v∗ , )dσdv∗ dv. |v − v∗ | Rn Rn S n−1

Next, we give some applications of the two change of variables above. We first give the conservation laws of the Boltzmann equation. As a consequence, if ϕ(v) is an arbitrary continuous function of the velocity v, then we get the following various weak formulations for Boltzmann’s kernel Q Z Q(g, f )ϕ(v)dv (8.28) Rn Z Z v − v∗ · σ){g(v∗0 )f (v 0 ) − g(v∗ )f (v)}ϕ(v)dσdv∗ dv = B(|v − v∗ |, |v − v∗ | 2n n−1 R S Z Z v − v∗ = B(|v − v∗ |, · σ)g(v∗ )f (v)(ϕ(v 0 ) − ϕ(v))dσdv∗ dv. |v − v | 2n n−1 ∗ R S In the special case g = f , we have that Z Q(f, f )ϕ(v)dv Rn Z Z 1 Bf (v∗ )f (v)(ϕ(v∗0 ) + ϕ(v 0 ) − ϕ(v∗ ) − ϕ(v))dσdv∗ dv. = 2 Rn ×Rn S n−1

From the mathematical point of view, it is interesting because expressions like (8.28) may be well-defined in situations where Q(f, f ) is not. From the physical point of view, it expresses the change in the integral R Q(f, f )(v)dv which is due to the action of collisions. Let f be a soluRn tion of the Boltzmann equation (8.17), set in the whole space Rn to simplify.

along solutions of the Boltzmann equation. The words at least formally of course mean that the preceding equations must be rigorously justified with the help of some integrability estimates on the solutions to the Boltzmann equation. Pluging ϕ(v) = 1, v1 , ..., vn , |v|2 /2, in formula (8.28) and (8.31), by (8.30), we get the conservation of mass, momentum and energy at the level of the Boltzmann operator: Z Z Z |v|2 dv = 0, Q(f, f )(v)dv = 0, Q(f, f )(v)vj dv = 0, Q(f, f )(v) 2 Rn Rn Rn (8.32) or, d dt

Then, it is possible to prove (under suitable, but rather weak assumptions on B and f ) that D(f ) = 0 ⇐⇒ Q(f, f ) = 0 ⇐⇒ f = M (v), M (v) = Mρ,u,T (v) =

Here, (ρ, u, T ) are taken to be parameters. If (ρ, u, T ) are constants,then M is called a global ( absolute) Maxwellian ; if they are functions of (x, t), then it is called a local Maxwellian. Evidently, the global Maxwellian is a stationary solution Boltzmann equation (8.17) without force F . This is the second part of Boltzmann’s H-theorem. 4. Bobylev’s identities . We now turn to more intricate tools introduced by Bobylev, who first made Fourier transform an extremely powerful tool in the study of the Boltzmann operator with Maxwellian collision kernel. Now we give the Fourier transform of Q(g, f ) in (8.19). We first perform the calculation of the Fourier transform of the gain term in a general Boltzmann collision operator Q+ (g, f ).

Properties of Boltzmann collision operator without cutoff

In this section, we will consider the properties of the Boltzmann collision operator Q(g, f ) without cutoff. We prove that for a given distribution function g ∈ L1 , the Boltzmann operator Q(g, f ) behaves essentially as a fractional power of the Laplacian: Q(g, f ) = −Cg (−∆)ν/2 f + more regular terms. In details, one can refer to [2]. In the following discussion, we also adopt the notations for the weighted function spaces, kf kLpr = kf (v)hvir kLZp , 1 6 p 6 ∞, r ∈ R, kf kLlogL =

then he constructed a weak solution f (t, v) of the Cauchy problem (8.79), which satisfies the following: f (t, v) > 0, f (t, v) ∈ C(R+ , S 0 ); t > 0, f (t, v) ∈ L12 ∩ LlogL,

Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff

These make sense provided that f satisfies (8.84) and test function ϕ ∈ L∞ ([0, T ]; W 2,∞ ). In this section, we assume that a weak solution to the Boltzmann equation (8.79) has already been constructed and that it satisfies the usual entropic estimates, to say, Z f (t, v)[1 + |v|2 + log(1 + f (t, v))]dv < +∞, (8.90) Rn

we are interested in regularity issues associated to such solutions. That is, is this weak solution more regular than the initial datum, and if so, can we have estimates on this regularity? In this section, we will show that the weak solutions above constructed f (t, v) of the Cauchy problem (8.79) with Maxwellian molecules case belongs to Hv+∞ . For hard potentials case, there exist some results only in modified hard potentials cases now, in details, one can refer to [4; 60; 111]. For soft potentials cases, there seems no any results now. In this section, we will introduce two methods of multiplier to consider it. That is, we first choose a team of suitable multiplier, then mainly give the sharp estimates of the commutators of the collision operator Q(f, f ) and pseudo-differential operators composed by multipliers. First, we give the method of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition, in details, one can refer to [3]. The Littlewood-Paley decomposition is defined as in Section 3 in Chapter 1: Assume that supp ϕk ⊂ {ξ : 2k−1 6 |ξ| 6 P∞ 2k+1 }, k ∈ N, supp ϕ0 ⊂ {ξ : |ξ| 6 2}, k=0 ϕk = 1; we can assume ϕk is a radial function. Recall that for every multi-index α, there exists a positive number Cα such that 2k|α| |Dα ϕk (ξ)| 6 Cα , k = 0, 1, 2...; ξ ∈ Rn .

(8.91)

Then the Littlewood-Paley projection operator is defined by n d ˆ 4 k f (ξ) = ϕk (ξ)f (ξ), k = 0, 1, 2...; ξ ∈ R .

Lemma 8.6. Assume that the initial data f0 (v) satisfies (8.83), cross section B(|v − v∗ |, k · σ) = b(k · σ) with b satisfying the following K sinn−2 θb(cos θ) ≈ 1+ν when θ → 0, K > 0.

Remark 8.2. Let f (t, v) be a weak solution of the Boltzmann equation. If we choose 4k f as test function (4k f ∈ L∞ ([0, T ]; W 2,∞ )), then by the definition of weak solutions, the inner products in the left side of (8.93) and (8.94) make sense. Unless f ∈ H ∞ (Rn ), f (t, v) cannot be chosen as a test function in the definition of weak solutions. This is also one of the reasons why we use the method of multiplier. Proof. We only prove (8.93), the proof of (8.94) is similar with one of (8.93). Applying Fourier transform on Boltzmann equation (8.79), using (8.49) and (8.50) (Bobylev identity), we have Z ξ \ ∂t fˆ(ξ) = Q(f, f )(ξ) = b( · σ) fˆ(ξ − )fˆ(ξ + ) − fˆ(0)fˆ(ξ) dσ.

Theorem 8.1. Under the hypothesis of Lemma 8.6, Let f (t, v) be any weak non negative solution of the Cauchy problem (8.79), satisfying (8.90). Then for any s ∈ R+ and t > 0, one has f (t, v) ∈ H s (Rn ). Proof.

First, we have

Choosing p such that νp > 2s + n + 1 for instance, yields that the two series on the right hand side of the last inequality are convergent. Lemma 8.7. (Iteration) Let β, M be two non negative numbers. Given positive integer k0 , assume that {Ck }k>k0 is a sequence of positive numbers, and is non-decreasing in k, and satisfies: there exists a positive α such that Ck+1 − Ck > α for all k > k0 . {Uk }k>k0 = {Uk (t)}k>k0 is another sequence with t ∈ R+ satisfying: ∂t Uk (t) + Ck Uk (t) 6 β(Uk−2 (t) + Uk−1 (t) + Uk+1 (t)), 0 6 Uk (t) 6 M, ∀k > k0 + 2, ∀t > 0.

Proof. It is done by iteration. First start from the fact that Uk 6 M , and using this in the right hand side of the differential inequality, leads to the above conclusion, for p = 1. Then, start from the above first iteration, and replace again in the rhs of the above inequality, and just repeat the process. Next, we will introduce another method of multiplier, in details, one can refer to [171]. For convenience, we assume n = 3. Let f (t, v) be a weak solution of the Cauchy problem (8.79). For any fixed T0 > 0, it follows that f (t, v) ∈ L1 (R3 ) ⊂ H −2 (R3 ), t ∈ [0, T0 ]. For t ∈ [0, T0 ], N > 0 and 0 < δ < 1, define multiplier: N t−4 N T0 + 4 Mδ (t, ξ) = (1 + |ξ|2 ) 2 (1 + δ|ξ|2 )−N0 , N0 = 2 and the corresponding pseudo-differential operator Mδ (t, Dv ) is defined by Mδ (t, Dv ) = F −1 Mδ (t, ξ)F . Then for any δ ∈ (0, 1),

Mδ (t, Dv )2 f ∈ L∞ ([0, T0 ]; W 2,∞ (R3 )), Mδ (t, Dv )f ∈ C([0, T0 ]; L2 (R3 )).

Lemma 8.8. Under the hypothesis of Lemma 8.6, Let f (t, v) be any weak non negative solution of the Cauchy problem (8.79), satisfying (8.90). Then (Q(f, f ), Mδ2 f )L2 − (Q(f, Mδ f ), Mδ f )L2 6 Cf kf0 kL1 kMδ2 f kL2 ,

where the constant Cf is independent of 0 < δ < 1. Proof.

Recently, the existence of the classical global solutions of the Boltzmann equation without angular cut-off was obtained by Gressman and Strain [83]. There are some recent works by Chen, Li and Xu [34; 36] which have been devoted to the study of the regularity for the Landau equation, which can be regarded as a limit of the Boltzmann equation when the collisions become grazing. Mouhot and Villani [172] for the first time establish the Landau damping in a nonlinear context.

Definition of scattering operator

We give an exact definition of the scattering operator by the taking NLS (7.54) as an example. Definition B.1. Let X be a Banach space, S(t) = eit∆ be the evolution semigroup associated to (7.54), and u(t) be the global solution of (7.54) with the initial datum u0 ∈ X. If the limit u+ = lim S(−t)u(t) t→∞

exists in X, we say that u+ is the asymptotic state of u0 at +∞. Also, if the limit u− = lim S(−t)u(t) t→−∞

exists in X, we say that u− is the asymptotic state of u0 at −∞. In other words, u(t) behaves as t → ±∞ like the solutions S(t)u± of the linear Schr¨ odinger equation (or the free Schr¨odinger equation, i.e. iut + ∆u = 0). −1 The inverse operators Ω± = U± of the operators U± : u0 7→ u± are called the forward/backward wave operators. Note that the uniqueness aspect of the H 1 -wellposedness theory ensures that the wave operators are injective. If they are also surjective, in other word, if every H 1 -wellposed solution is global and scatters in H 1 as t → +∞, we say that we also have the asymptotic completeness. If the forward wave operator and the backward wave operator exist simultaneously, the mapping S = Ω−1 + ◦ Ω− : u− 7→ u+ is called the scattering operator. Remark B.1. The scattering theory involves two essential factors: the existence of the forward/backward wave operators and the asymptotic completeness. Generally speaking, the existence of wave operators is relatively easy to establish as long as the power p is suitable, and especially if a smallness condition is assumed, both in focusing and defocusing cases. However, 261

Definition of scattering operator

the asymptotic completeness is a bit harder and requires some decay estimates even in the defocusing case. Remark B.2. To reduce the number of cases slightly, we shall only consider scattering from t = 0 to t = +∞ or vice versa. One can certainly consider scattering back and forth between t = 0 to t = −∞, or between t = −∞ and t = +∞, but the theory is more or less the same in each of these cases. In general, for the well-posedness and the scattering theory of nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations, we usually use the integral version of the equation, that is, the Duhamel formula Z t u(t) = S(t − t0 )u(t0 ) − i S(t − τ )(|u(τ )|p−1 u(τ ))dτ. (B.1) t0

For the scattering theory of the equation (7.54) in H 1 , we need to show the global solution of (7.54) with the initial datum u(0) = u0 ∈ H 1 scatters to a solution S(t)u+ of the associated linear equation as t → +∞ in H 1 , that is, or equivalently,

ku(t) − S(t)u+ kH 1 → 0, kS(−t)u(t) − u+ kH 1 → 0,

as t → +∞, as t → +∞.

In other words, we require that the function S(−t)u(t) converges in H 1 as t → +∞. From the Duhamel formula (B.1), we know Z t S(−τ )(|u(τ )|p−1 u(τ ))dτ. S(−t)u(t) = u0 − i 0

Thus, u scatters in H 1 as t → +∞ if and only if the improper integral Z ∞ S(−τ )(|u(τ )|p−1 u(τ ))dτ (B.2) 0

is conditionally convergent in H 1 , in which case the asymptotic state u+ is given by the formula Z ∞ u+ = u0 − i S(−τ )(|u(τ )|p−1 u(τ ))dτ. (B.3) 0

We can regard the asymptotic state u+ as a nonlinear perturbation of the initial state u0 . Comparing (B.1) with (B.3), we eliminate u0 to obtain the identity Z ∞ u(t) = S(t)u+ + i S(t − τ )(|u(τ )|p−1 u(τ ))dτ, (B.4) t

which can be viewed as the limiting case t0 = +∞ of (B.1).

Some fundamental results

C.1

Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality in Sobolev spaces

The Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality is a fundamental tool in the study of partial differential equations, some special cases of which were discovered by Gagliardo [75], Ladyzhenskaya [153] and Nirenberg [181]. The general version can be stated as follows. Theorem C.1. Let 1 6 p, p0 , p1 6 ∞, `, m ∈ N∪{0}, ` < m, `/m 6 θ 6 1, ` 1−θ 1 m 1 = + +θ − . (C.1) p n p0 p1 n If m − ` − n/p0 is an integer, we further assume that `/m 6 θ < 1. Then for any u ∈ C0∞ (Rn ), X X kDα ukLp (Rn ) . kuk1−θ kDα ukθLp1 (Rn ) . (C.2) p n 0 L (R ) |α|=`

|α|=m

The proof of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality is based on the globalderivative analysis in Lp spaces, which is rather complicated, see [74; 87], for instance.

Take j0 such that C0 /2s0 j , j > j0 , min(C0 /2s0 j , C1 /2s1 j ) = C1 /2s1 j , j 6 j0 . It is easy to see that C0 ∼ C1 2(s0 −s1 )j0 . So,

s1 j k2s0 j aj k1−θ aj kθ`∞ ∼ C1 2(s0 −s1 )j0 (1−θ) . `∞ k2

Triebel-Lizorkin

The inclusion among homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin spaces is very useful but Triebel [224] only claimed that it is probably true. Here we give the details of the proof, which is analogous to that of Theorem 1.2. Theorem C.2. Let 1 6 p1 < p2 < ∞, 1 6 r, q 6 ∞ and −∞ < s2 < s1 < ∞ satisfy s1 − n/p1 = s2 − n/p2 . Then we have F˙ps11,q ⊂ F˙ps22,r .

Proof.

By `r ⊂ `q for q > r, it suffices to show that F˙ ps11,∞ ⊂ F˙ps22,1 .

Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality

Up to now, the singular integration is still a difficult problem in the theory of harmonic analysis. Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality is a fundamental tool in this subject, cf. [202].

Van der Corput lemma

Lemma C.2. Let ϕ ∈ C0∞ (R). Assume that P ∈ C 2 (R) satisfies that for any ξ ∈ supp ϕ, |P (k) (ξ)| > 1. Moreover, we assume that the following alternative condition holds (i) k > 2; (ii) k = 1 and P 0 (x) is a monotone function. Then we have Z eiλP (ξ) ϕ(ξ)dξ . λ−1/k (kϕk∞ + kϕ0 k1 ). C.7

Littlewood-Paley square function theorem

The Littlewood-Paley square function theorem is one of the most important results in the early stage of harmonic analysis. It seems that TriebelLizorkin spaces are also inspired by this theorem. Proposition C.2. Let 1 < p < ∞, s ∈ R. Then kukH˙ s ∼ kukF˙ s ,

See [245]. C.9

Christ-Kiselev lemma

The Christ-Kiselev lemma (cf. [46]) is very useful for the study of nonlinear dispersive equations. There are a series of generalizations to the ChristKiselev lemma in recent years, see Molinet-Ribaud [166] and Smith-Sogge [201]. The following result is due to Wang-Han-Huang [243].
