Abstract

Let uC(,H2) be the solution to the initial value problem for a fourth-order semi-linear Schrödinger equation with pure power nonlinearity. We prove that some Lr-norms of u decay as t±.

A Appendix

As an application of the main result, we give a short proof of scattering. Precisely we prove the next result.

Proposition A.1

Let d>4 and 1+8d<p<pc. Let uC(R,H2(Rd)) be a global solution to (1.1). Then

uL8(1+p)d(p-1)(,W2,1+p(d))

and there exist u±H2(Rd) such that

limt±u(t)-eitΔ2u±H2(d)=0.

For any time slab I, take the space

S(I):=C(I,H2)L8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,W2,1+p(d))

endowed with the complete norm

uS(I):=uL(I,H2(d))+uL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,W2,1+p(d)).

Let us state an intermediate result.

Lemma A.2

For any time slab I and any time t0I, we have

u(t)-eitΔ2u(t0)S(I)uL(I,L1+p)(1+p)(1-8d(p-1))uL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,W2,1+p)8(1+p)d(p-1)-1.

Proof.

Using the Strichartz estimate, we have

u(t)-eitΔ2u(t0)S(I)upL8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I,W2,1+pp).

Letting 2θ:=8(p+1)d(p-1)-1, with the equality

upL1+pp=uL1+p1+p2uL1+pp-12,

we get

upL8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I,L1+pp)=uL1+p1+p2uL1+pp-12L8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I)
uL(I,L1+p)p-2θuL1+p2θL8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I)
uL(I,L1+p)p-2θuL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,L1+p)2θ.

It remains to estimate the quantity

():=Δ(up)L8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I,L1+pp).

Write

()Δuup-1L8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I,L1+pp)+|u|2up-2L8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I,L1+pp)(1)+(2).

Using the Hölder inequality, we obtain

Δuup-1L1+ppΔuL1+puL1+pp-1.

Letting μ=:4(1+p)d(p-1)-1, we get

(1)ΔuL1+puL1+pp-1L8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(I)
ΔuL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,L1+p)uL(I,L1+p)p-1-2μuL8μ(1+p)4(1+p)-d(p-1)(I,L1+p)2μ
ΔuL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,L1+p)uL(I,L1+p)p-1-2μuL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,L1+p)2μ
uL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,W2,1+p)1+2μuL(I,L1+p)p-1-2μ.

Similarly,

(2)uL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,W2,1+p)2uL(I,L1+p)1+p-8(1+p)d(p-1)uL8(1+p)d(p-1)(I,L1+p)8(1+p)d(p-1)-3.

The proof is achieved with previous computations. ∎

Finally, we are ready to prove scattering. By the previous lemma and Theorem 1.1, we have

uS(t,)u(t0)H2+ϵ(t)uS(t,)8(1+p)d(p-1)-1,

where ϵ(t)0 as t. It follows from Lemma 1.7 that uS(). Now, let v(t)=e-itΔ2u(t). Taking account of Duhamel’s formula, we deduce

v(t)=u(t0)+it0te-isΔ2(|u|p-1u)𝑑s.

By the computations done in the proof of Lemma A.2, we have

upL8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d(,W2,1+pp).

So, applying the Strichartz estimate, we get, for 0<t<τ,

v(t)-v(τ)H1upL8(1+p)(1+p)(8-d)+2d((t,τ),W2,1+pp)0as t,τ.

Taking u±:=limt±v(t), we get

limt±u(t)-eitΔ2u±H2=0.

Scattering is proved.
