Well-posedness for a generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for a generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition. We establish the local well-posedness results in the Sobolev spaces H1 and H2. Solutions are constructed as a limit of approximate solutions by a method independent of a compactness argument. We also discuss the global existence of solutions in the energy space H1.
