Modified scattering for inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations with and without inverse-square potential

Abstract

We consider the final state problem for the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a critical long-range nonlinearity. Given a prescribed asymptotic profile, which has a logarithmic phase correction compared with the free evolution, we construct a unique global solution which converges to the profile. As a consequence, the existence of modified wave operators for localized small scattering data is obtained. We also study the same problem for the case with the critical inverse-square potential under the radial symmetry. In particular, we construct the modified wave operators for the long-range nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the critical inverse-square potential in three space dimensions, under the radial symmetry.
