Non-polynomial conserved quantities for ODE systems and its application to the long-time behavior of solutions to cubic NLS systems

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of small solutions to the initial value problem for a system of cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equations (NLS) in one spatial dimension. We identify a new class of NLS systems for which the global boundedness and asymptotics of small solutions can be established, even in the absence of any effective conserved quantity. The key to this analysis lies in utilizing conserved quantities for the reduced ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems derived from the original NLS systems. In a previous study, the first author investigated conserved quantities expressed as quartic polynomials. In contrast, the conserved quantities considered in the present paper are of a different type and are not necessarily polynomial.
