1. Introduction and main result
In this paper, we focus on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with periodic boundary conditions
[TABLE]
where , is a Fourier multiplier defined by
[TABLE]
is -periodic and real analytic in . Written in Fourier modes , then (1.1) can be rewritten as
[TABLE]
with the Hamiltonian
[TABLE]
Our aim is to show the existence of almost periodic solutions for such a family of NLS.
In the last few decades, the persistence of the invariant tori for NLS has been drawn a lot of attentions by many authors. To this end, one considers the infinite dimensional Hamiltonian of the form
[TABLE]
with the symplectic structure on and
[TABLE]
where is called tangent frequency vector, is called the normal frequency vector, and is a perturbation. The unperturbed Hamiltonian has a special invariant torus
[TABLE]
and all solutions starting on are quasi-periodic with the frequency . Under suitable assumptions on and , it can be proved that for “most” frequency , the tori can be persisted for some small perturbation (see [16, 17, 23] for example). However, the KAM theorem of this type depends heavily on the fact that the spatial dimension of the PDEs equals to . Bourgain [4, 6] developed a new method initiated by Craig-Wayne [9] to deal with the KAM tori for the PDEs in high spatial dimension, based on the Newton iteration, Fröhlich-Spencer techniques, Harmonic analysis and semi-algebraic set theory (see [6]). This method is now called C-W-B method. We also mention Eliasson-Kuksin [10] where the KAM theorem is extended to deal with higher spatial dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In addition, the classical KAM theory is also developed to deal some 1D PDEs of unbounded perturbation. See, for example, [17, 15, 19, 25, 1, 2, 11] for the details. In the all above works, the obtained KAM tori are lower (finite) dimension. Naturally, the following problem is interesting: *Can the full dimensional invariant tori be expected with a suitable decay, for example, with some as ? * The existence of the full dimensional KAM tori with polynomial decay rate is still open up to now. See [18] for the details. The first result about the existence of the full dimensional tori (or almost periodic solutions) for Hamiltonian PDEs was obtained by Bourgain [3]. Precisely, using C-W-B method the almost periodic solutions (in time) of the form
[TABLE]
were constructed for 1D nonlinear wave equation (NLW)
[TABLE]
under Dirichlet boundary conditions, where and is the Dirichlet spectrum of . Here, a strong decay assumption is needed for the amplitude . Pöschel [22] proved the existence of almost periodic solutions for NLS equation by the KAM method (also see [12],[14],[20],[24]). The basic idea in these papers is to use repeatedly (infinitely many times) the KAM theorem dealing with lower dimensional KAM tori. That is why the amplitude (or action) of those almost periodic solutions decay extremely fast. In fact, the decay rate is defined implicitly and much more fast than . See more comments in [5]. Recently, the invariant tori of full dimensions for second KdV equations with the external parameters were constructed by Geng-Hong [13], where noting that the nonlinear term contains the derivatives.
Another way is due to Bourgain in [7] where 1D NLS with periodic boundary condition was investigated (see also [21] by Pöschel where infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems with short range was considered). It was shown in [7] that 1D NLS has a full dimensional KAM torus of prescribed frequencies where the actions of the torus obey the estimates
[TABLE]
with . This is up to now only existence result about the full dimensional KAM tori with a slower decay rate than . In a different way, Bourgain constructed the full dimensional tori directly, where a more complicated small divisor problem has to be dealt with. An important observation by Bourgain is the following: Let be a finite set of modes satisfy and
[TABLE]
In the case of a ‘near’ resonance, there is also a relation
[TABLE]
Unless , one may then control from (1.7), (1.8) by More recently, Cong-Liu-Shi-Yuan [8] extended Bourgain’s results to the any .
Note that the condition (1.7) is no longer valid for the Hamiltonian (1.3). But if the function is Gevrey smooth with , then one has
[TABLE]
Thus we use the property (1.9) to guarantee can be controlled by .
To state our result precisely, we will give some definitions firstly.
Definition 1.1**.**
Given and , we define the Banach space consisting of all complex sequences with

the frequency on was prescribed to be ;
- (3)
the invariant torus is linearly stable.
2. KAM Iteration
2.1. Some notations and the norm of the Hamiltonian
Let and its complex conjugate . Introduce and as notations but not as new variables, where will be considered as the initial data. Then the Hamiltonian (1.1) has the form of
[TABLE]

Now we define the norm of the Hamiltonian as follows
Definition 2.1**.**
For any given and , define the norm of the Hamiltonian by
[TABLE]
2.2. Derivation of homological equations
The proof of Theorem 1.3 employs the rapidly converging iteration scheme of Newton type to deal with small divisor problems introduced by Kolmogorov, involving the infinite sequence of coordinate transformations. At the -th step of the scheme, a Hamiltonian is considered, as a small perturbation of some normal form . A transformation is set up so that
[TABLE]
with another normal form and a much smaller perturbation . We drop the index of and shorten the index as .
Rewrite as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
We desire to eliminate the terms in (2.4) by the coordinate transformation , which is obtained as the time-1 map of a Hamiltonian vector field with . Let (resp. ) has the form of (resp. ), that is
[TABLE]
and the homological equations become
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The solutions of the homological equations (2.7) are given by
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The new Hamiltonian has the form
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
2.3. The solvability of the homological equations (2.7)
In this subsection, we will estimate the solutions of the homological equations (2.7). To this end, we define the new norm for the Hamiltonian of the form as follows:
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Moreover, one has the following estimates:
Lemma 2.2**.**
Given any , one has
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant depending on only.
Proof.
The details of the proof will be given in the Appendix. ∎
Lemma 2.3**.**
Let be Diophantine with (see (1.11)). Then for any (depending only on ), the solutions of the homological equations (2.7), which are given by (2.10) and (2.11), satisfy
[TABLE]
where and is a positive constant depending on only.
Proof.
The details of the proof will be given in the Appendix. ∎
2.4. The new perturbation and the new normal form
Firstly, we will prove two lemmas.
Lemma 2.4**.**
(Poisson Bracket) Let and (depending on ). Then one has
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant depending on only.
Proof.
The details of proof will be left in the Appendix. ∎
Lemma 2.5**.**
Let and (depending on ). Assume further
[TABLE]
where is the constant given in (2.22) in Lemma 2.4. Then for any Hamiltonian function , we get
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant depending only on .
Proof.
Firstly, we expand into the Taylor series
[TABLE]
where and .
We will estimate by using Lemma 2.4 again and again:
[TABLE]
Hence in view of (2.26), one has
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant depending on only. ∎
Recall the new term is given by (2.14) and write
[TABLE]
Following the proof of CLSY, one has
[TABLE]
The new normal form is given in (2.13). Note that (in view of (2.8)) is a constant which does not affect the Hamiltonian vector field. Moreover, in view of (2.9), we denote by
[TABLE]
where the terms is the so-called frequency shift. The estimate of will be given in the next section (see (3.28) for the details).
Finally, we give the estimate of the Hamiltonian vector field.
Lemma 2.6**.**
Given a Hamiltonian
[TABLE]
then for any and , one has
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant depending on and only, and
[TABLE]
Proof.
The details of the proof will be given in the Appendix. ∎
3. Iteration and Convergence
Now we give the precise set-up of iteration parameters. Let be the -th KAM step.
- , ,
- ,
- ,
- , which dominates the size of the perturbation,
- ,
- ,
- ,
- .
Denote the complex cube of size :
[TABLE]
Lemma 3.1**.**
Suppose is real analytic on , where
[TABLE]
is a normal form with coefficients satisfying
[TABLE]
and satisfying
[TABLE]
Then for all satisfying , there exist real analytic symplectic coordinate transformations satisfying
[TABLE]
such that for , the same assumptions as above are satisfied with ‘’ in place of ‘’, where and
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Proof.
In the step , there is saving of a factor
[TABLE]
By (4.1), one has
[TABLE]
Recalling after this step, we need
[TABLE]
Consequently, in , it suffices to eliminate the nonresonant monomials for which
[TABLE]
that is
[TABLE]
On the other hand, in the small divisors analysis (see Lemma 4.2), one has
[TABLE]
Hence we need only impose condition on , where
[TABLE]
Correspondingly, the Diophantine condition becomes
[TABLE]
We finished the truncation step.
Next we will show (3.15) preserves under small perturbation of and this is equivalent to get lower bound on the right hand side of (3.15). Let
[TABLE]
then we have
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on is small enough.
Assuming , from the lower bound (3.17), the relation (3.15) remains true if we substitute for . Moreover, there is analyticity on . The transformations is obtained as the time-1 map of the Hamiltonian vector field with . Taking , in Lemma 2.3, we get
[TABLE]
where . By Lemma 2.2, we get
[TABLE]
Combining (3.4), (3.5), (3.18) and (3.19), we get
[TABLE]
By Lemma 2.6, we get
[TABLE]
where noting that small enough and depending on only.
Since , we have with
[TABLE]
which is the estimate (3.7). Moreover, from (3.22) we get
[TABLE]
and thus the estimate (3.8) follows.
Moreover, under the assumptions (3.4)-(3.6) at stage , we get from (2.28), (2.29) and (2.30) that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
which are just the assumptions (3.4)-(3.6) at stage .
If and using Cauchy’s estimate, for any one has
[TABLE]
Let , then
[TABLE]
that is
[TABLE]
Note that
[TABLE]
Assuming further
[TABLE]
and for any ,
[TABLE]
we obtain
[TABLE]
By (3.28), we have
[TABLE]
which verifies (3.9). Further applying Cauchy’s estimate on , one gets
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]
it follows that
[TABLE]
and hence by iterating (3.31) implies
[TABLE]
On and for any , we deduce from (3.30), (3.32) and the assumption (3.3) that
[TABLE]
and consequently
[TABLE]
which verifies (3.3) for .
Finally, we will freeze by invoking an inverse function theorem. Consider the following functional equation
[TABLE]
from (3.33) and the standard inverse function theorem implies (3.34) having a solution , which verifies (3.2) for . Rewriting (3.34) as
[TABLE]
and using (3.29) (3.33) implies
[TABLE]
which verifies (3.10) and completes the proof of the iterative lemma. ∎
We are now in a position to prove the convergence. To apply iterative lemma with , set
[TABLE]
and consequently (3.2)–(3.6) with are satisfied. Hence, the iterative lemma applies, and we obtain a decreasing sequence of domains and a sequence of transformations
[TABLE]
such that for . Moreover, the estimates (3.7)–(3.10) hold. Thus we can show converge to a limit with the estimate
[TABLE]
and converge uniformly on , where , to with the estimates
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
By (2.33), the Hamiltonian vector field is a bounded map from into . Taking
[TABLE]
we get an invariant torus with frequency for . Finally, by , is the desired invariant torus for the NLS (1.1). Moreover, we deduce the torus is linearly stable from the fact that (3.37) is a normal form of order 2 around the invariant torus.

Lemma 4.1**.**
Denote the decreasing rearrangement of

Proof.
Without loss of generality, denote , the system \{\mbox{n is repeated}\ 2a_{n}+k_{n}+k_{n}^{\prime}\ \mbox{times}\} and we have . There exists with such that
[TABLE]
and hence
[TABLE]
Consequently
[TABLE]
Thus the inequality (4.1) will follow from the inequality
[TABLE]
To prove the inequality (4.2), one just needs the following fact: consider the function
[TABLE]
and one has
[TABLE]
which is based on
[TABLE]
Hence, for any , we have
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on (4.3). That is
[TABLE]
By iteration and in view of (4.4), one obtains
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on
[TABLE]
for all and . ∎
Lemma 4.2**.**
Let and . Assume further

where , denote the system {: is repeated times}.
Proof.
From the definition of , there exist with such that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
In view of (4.5), (4.8) and , one has
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
On the other hand, by (4.7), we obtain
[TABLE]
To prove the inequality (4.6), we will distinguish two cases:

[TABLE]
Now one has
[TABLE]
Case. 2. .
In view of (4.9), one has

[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and

Now we will estimate the bounds for the coefficients respectively.
Consider the term with fixed satisfying for all . It is easy to see that comes from some parts of the terms with no assumption for and . For any given one has
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Therefore, if is chosen, so are determined. On the other hand,
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
Similarly,
[TABLE]
In view of (2.16) and (4.17), we have
[TABLE]
Now we will show that
[TABLE]
Case 1. Then one has
[TABLE]
Case 2. In this case, for . Then we have
[TABLE]
Case 3. In this case, or for . Hence
[TABLE]
We finished the proof of (4.19).
Similarly, one has
[TABLE]
and hence
[TABLE]
On the other hand, the coefficient of increases by at most a factor
[TABLE]
then
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on Lemma 7.5 in [8] with . ∎
4.3. Proof of Lemma 2.3
Proof.
We distinguish two cases:
Case. 1.
[TABLE]
Since , we have
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on . There is no small divisor and (2.21) holds trivially.
Case. 2.
[TABLE]
In this case, we always assume
[TABLE]
otherwise there is no small divisor.
Firstly, one has
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on Lemma 4.1.
Since the Diophantine property of implies
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant depending on only.
Therefore, in view of (2.16) and (4.23), we finish the proof of (2.21) for .
It is easy to verify the following two facts that

Hence we always assume . Therefore one has
[TABLE]
The following inequality always holds
[TABLE]
and then one has
[TABLE]
It is easy to see
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Based on (4.33) and (4.34), we obtain
[TABLE]
In view of (4.29) and (4.34), we have
[TABLE]
It is easy to see
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
Moreover, one has
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
Now we will prove the inequality (4.31) holds:

Remark 4.3*.*
Note that if are specified, and then are uniquely determined.
In view of (4.37) and (4.40), we have
[TABLE]
where the last inequality is based on and are positive constants depending on only.
If , then , we are in Case. 1.1.. Hence in what follows, we always assume
[TABLE]
which implies
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
From (4.41) and in view of , it follows that
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]
one has
[TABLE]
where .
Remark 4.4*.*
Obviously, , and if (resp. ), and is specified, then (resp. ) is determined uniquely. Thus range in a set of cardinality no more than

[TABLE]
Following the inequality (4.4), we thus obtain
[TABLE]

Therefore, we finish the proof of (2.22). ∎
4.5. Proof of Lemma 2.6

In view of and , one has
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Substituting (4.47) and (4.48) into (4.46), one has
[TABLE]
Now we will estimate the last inequality in the following two cases:
Case 1. .
Then one has

[TABLE]
where the last equality is based on Lemma 7.2 and Lemma 7.4 in [8], and are positive constants depending on only.
Hence, we finished the proof of (2.33). ∎
