1. Introduction
Consider the Cauchy problem for the damped fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation
[TABLE]
where is the coefficient of friction, , , with -critical nonlinearity i.e .
In the classical case ( and ) equation (1.1) arises in various areas of nonlinear optics, plasma physics and fluid mechanics to describe propagation phenomena in dispersive media.
When and equation (1.1) (called FNLS : Fractional NLS) can be seen as a canonical model for a nonlocal dispersive PDE with focusing nonlinearity that can exhibit solitary waves, turbulence phenomena which has been studied by many authors [20], [8], [10], [11], [21], [23] and [29] in mathematics, numerics, and physics. The FNLS equation is a fundamental equation of fractional quantum mechanics, which was derived by Laskin [24], [25] as a result of extending the Feynman path integral, from the Brownian-like to L evy-like quantum mechanical paths. The Cauchy problem for FNLS was studied in [14] and [15] and proved that it is well-posed and scatters in the radial energy space and in [16] the author proves that the equation is globaly well posed for small data.
In this this paper we complete the -critical FNLS equation with a fractional laplacian of order , . The fractional laplacian is commonly used to model fractal (anomalous) diffusion related to the Lévy flights (see e.g. Stroock [27], Bardos and all [3], Hanyga [18]). It also appears in the physical literature to model attenuation phenomena of acoustic waves in irregular porous random media (cf. Blackstock [4], Gaul [13], Chen-Holm [9]).
Note that for , the global existence for (1.1) was proved in [28] for a large daming tem ( i.e for large ), in this paper we will obtain the global existence result for any damping term
Finally, the case and a nonlinear damping of the type , has been studied by Antonelli-Sparber and Antonelli-Carles-Sparber (cf. [1] and [2]). In this case the origin of the nonlinear damping term is multiphoton absorption.
The purpose of this paper is to prove some global well-posedness and scattering results for (1.1) in the radial case and the rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to prove the local existence results. In section 3 we will show the main results i.e the global well-posedness of equation (1.1) and the scattering.
Now let us define the following quantities:
-norm : m(u)=\left\|u\right\|_{L^{2}}=\Bigl{(}\displaystyle{\int|u(x)|^{2}dx}\Bigr{)}^{1/2}.
Energy :
However, it is easy to prove that if is a smooth solution of (1.1) on , then for all it holds

2. Local existence result
Recall that the main tools to prove the local existence results for the FNLS equation are the Strichartz estimates for the associated linear propagator . Let us mention that in the case the same results on the local Cauchy problem for (1.1) can be established in exactly the same way as in the case , since the same Strichartz estimates hold.
2.1. Strichartz estimate
Definition 2.1**.**
A pair , is said to be admissible if:
[TABLE]
*or
[TABLE]
These Strichartz estimates read in the following proposition see [17]:
Proposition 2.1**.**
Suppose , and be a radial solution of 1.1, then for every admissible pair satisfie the following condition:
[TABLE]
*it holds:
[TABLE]
For , and we denote by the linear semi-group associated with (1.1), i.e. . It is worth noticing that is irreversible.
We will see in the following proposition that that the linear semi-group enjoys the same Strichartz estimates as .
Proposition 2.2**.**
Let ,, and . Then for every admissible pair satisfie the following condition:
[TABLE]
*it holds:
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let for any , , it holds
[TABLE]
Noticing that for , and that, according to Lemma 2.1 in [26], for . Now let we have that:
[TABLE]
∎
With Proposition 2.2 in the hand, it is not too hard to check that the local existence results for equation 1.1 (see Theorem 4.2 in [17]). More precisely, we have the following statement:
Proposition 2.3**.**
*Let , , and with . There exists and a unique solution to (1.1) emanating from . *
3. global existence results
In this section, we will prove the global existence results. Let us start by the second theorem:
3.1. Proof of theorem 1.2:
To prove theorem 1.2, we will establish an a priori estimate on the Strichartz norm.
Proposition 3.1**.**
*Suppose that , and . Then there exists such that if in and , then the maximal time of the existence of the solution emanating from equal to . *
To prove this claim, we will use the following proposition:
Proposition 3.2**.**
There exists with the following property. If and are such that , there exists a unique solution of (1.1). In addition, for every admissible pair , for .Finally, depends continuously in on . If , then .
See [6] for the proof
Proposition 3.3**.**
Let and u be the solution of 1.1. Let be the maximal time of the existence of u such that , then .
Proof.
Observe that as . Thus for sufficiently small , the hypotheses of Proposition 3.2 are satisfied. Applying iteratively this proposition, we can construct the maximal solution of (1.1). We proceed by contradiction, assuming that , and . Let . For every we have
[TABLE]
Then by Strichartz estimate, there exists such that:
[TABLE]
Therefore, for fixed close enough to , it follows that
[TABLE]
Applying Proposition 3.2, we find that can be extended after , which contradicts the maximality.
Now let us return to the proof of proposition 3.1:
Let and , then verifies: , by Holder inequalities and the Strichartz estimate we obtain:
[TABLE]
Remark that :
[TABLE]
Now iff
If we take in the Strichartz estimate this gives with Holder inequality:
[TABLE]
Noticing that the fractional Leibniz rule (see [22]) and by Holder inequality, leads to
[TABLE]
This implies, with Strichartz estimates in the hand, that:
[TABLE]
this gives that :
[TABLE]
Now, with Strichartz estimate:
[TABLE]
Then for small we obtain
[TABLE]
this gives that .
Now we are ready to prove Theorem 1.2:
Let be the solution emanating from some initial datum . We have the following a priori estimates:
Lemma 3.1**.**
Let be the solution of (1.1) emanating from . Then
[TABLE]
Proof.
Assume first that . Then (1.2) ensures that the mass is decreasing as soon as is not the null solution and (1.2) leads to
[TABLE]
This proves (3.4)for smooth solutions. The result for follows by approximating in by a smooth sequence . ∎
From the first estimate in (3.4) we can obtain that :
[TABLE]
and thus by interpolation:
[TABLE]
Interpolating now between (3.5) and the first estimate of (3.4) we get
[TABLE]
and the embedding ensures that
[TABLE]
Denoting by the maximal time of existence of and letting tends to , this contradicts proposition (3.3) whenever is finite. This proves that the solutions are global in .
Remark 3.1**.**
Note that for , we have that for any which show that
[TABLE]
In plus,
[TABLE]
3.2. Proof Theorem 1.1
Now we will prove the global existence for small data, to do this we will use the following fractional Galgliardo-Niremberg inequalities (see [19]):
Lemma 3.2**.**
Let , be any real numbers satisfying , , and , be two reals numbers. If is any functions in , then
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
for all in the interval
[TABLE]
where is a constant depending only on , , ,, and .
Now we have the following one:
Proposition 3.4**.**
Let and . Then there exists such that:
[TABLE]
**Proof of proposition 3.4:
**We have that :
[TABLE]
But by the fractional Gagliardo-Niremberq inequality there exists such that:
[TABLE]
then
[TABLE]
Now let us return to the proof of theorem 1.1:
Let be a solution to (1.1) emanating from . Then it holds
[TABLE]
and Hölder inequalities in physical space and in Fourier space lead to
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
Using Gagliardo-Nieremberg inequality, we obtain
[TABLE]
This estimate together with Cauchy-Schwarz inequality (in Fourier space)
[TABLE]
lead to
[TABLE]
Combining the above estimates we eventually obtain
[TABLE]
which together with (3.4) implies that is not increasing for implies for all . Now with proposition 3.4 in the hand we obtain that , for small enough.This finishes the proof.
Proof of theorem 1.3: The second part of this theorem was proved previously (see remark 3.1). Let us prove the scattering:
Let then
[TABLE]
Therefore for ,
[TABLE]
It follows from Strichartz’s estimates (as previously) that:
[TABLE]
But by remark (3.1), for we have that , then the right hand side goes to zero when . The scattering follows from the Cauchy criterion.
