Abstract

In this paper we study the well-posedness for the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation i∂_tu+Δu=λ|x|^-α|u|^βu in Sobolev spaces H^s, s≥0. The well-posedness theory for this model has been intensively studied in recent years, but much less is understood compared to the classical NLS model where α=0. The conventional approach does not work particularly for the critical cases β=(4-2α)/(d-2s). It is still an open problem. The main contribution of this paper is to develop the well-posedness theory in this critical case (as well as non-critical cases). To this end, we approach to the matter in a new way based on a weighted L^p setting which seems to be more suitable to perform a finer analysis for this model. This is because it makes it possible to handle the singularity |x|^-α in the nonlinearity more effectively. This observation is a core of our approach that covers the critical case successfully.
