Global Well-posedness for the Fourth-order Defocusing Cubic Equation with Initial Data Lying in a Critical Sobolev Space

Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying the Cauchy problem of the fourth-order defocusing, cubic equation iu_t + Δ²u = − |u|²u in critical Sobolev space. We first prove that the problem is locally well-posed in the critical Sobolev space
