On the decay property of the cubic fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation

Abstract

In this short paper, we prove that the solution of the cubic fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation (4NLS) on $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($5 \leq d \leq 8$) enjoys the same (pointwise) decay property as its linear solution does. This result is proved via a bootstrap argument based on the corresponding global result Pausader \cite{Pau1}. This result can be extended to more general dispersive equations (including some more 4NLS models) with scattering asymptotics.
