TY - JOUR T1 - The Cauchy Problem of the Hartree Equation JO - Journal of Partial Differential Equations VL - 1 SP - 22 EP - 44 PY - 2008 DA - 2008/02 SN - 21 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jpde/5267.html KW - Hartree equation KW - well-posedness KW - illposedness KW - Galilean invariance KW - dispersion analysis KW - scattering KW - asymptotically free solutions AB - In this paper, we systematically study the wellposedness, illposedness of the Hartree equation, and obtain the sharp local wellposedness, the global existence in H^s, s ≥ 1 and the small scattering result in H^s for 2 < γ < n and s ≥ \frac{γ}{2}-1. In addition, we study the nonexistence of nontrivial asymptotically free solutions of the Hartree equation.
