Ill-posedness for the Half wave Schrödinger equation

Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for the half wave Schrödinger equation introduced by Xu [9]. There are some well-posedness results for the equation, however there is no ill-posedness result. We focus on the scale critical space and obtain the ill-posedness in the super-critical or at the critical space under certain condition. The proofs in the super-critical space are based on the argument established by Christ, Colliander and Tao [4]. More precisely, we analyze dispersionless equation with smooth initial data, namely the Schwartz function and it is locally well-posed in some weighted Sobolev space. We construct the solution for the half wave Schrödinger equation by using the solution for the dispersionless equation and we can exploit the norm inflation or the decoherence properties. For the critical space, we use the standing wave solution, which was proved the existence by Bahri, Ibrahim and Kikuchi [1].
