Unconditional well-posedness for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in Bessel potential spaces

Abstract

The Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is called unconditionally well posed in a data space $E$ if it is well posed in the usual sense and the solution is unique in the space $C([0,T];E)$. In this paper, this notion of unconditional well-posedness is redefined so that it covers $L^p$-based Sobolev spaces as data space $E$ and it is equivalent to the usual one when $E$ is an $L^2$-based Sobolev space $H^s$. Next, based on this definition, it is shown that the Cauchy problem for the 1D cubic NLS is unconditionally well posed in Bessel potential spaces $H_p^s$ for $4/3<p\le 2$ under certain regularity assumptions on $s$.
