Abstract

We review recent results on global well-posedness and long-time behavior of smooth solutions to the derivative nonlinear Schr̈odinger (DNLS) equation. Using the integrable character of DNLS, we show how the inverse scattering tools and the method of Zhou [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 20 (1989), pp. 966–986] for treating spectral singularities lead to global well-posedness for general initial conditions in the weighted Sobolev space H2,2pRq. For generic initial data that can support bright solitons but exclude spectral singularities, we prove the soliton resolution conjecture: the solution is asymptotic, at large times, to a sum of localized solitons and a dispersive component, Our results also show that soliton solutions of DNLS are asymptotically stable.
