The Initial Value Problem for the Zakharov System

Abstract

dc:description

The method of proof is an application of techniques developed by Bourgain and Kenig, Ponce and Vega. The equivalent fixed point problem is solved via the contraction principle in the $X\sb{s,b}$ spaces introduced by Bourgain. A detailed analysis of the nonlinear terms, exploiting the arithmetical properties of the $X\sb{s,b}$ denominators combined with the Strichartz estimates for the paraboloid, gives the d = 1, 2 results. For the more difficult d = 3 problem, Strichartz estimate for the cone and a refined convolution estimate for measures supported on the sphere are exploited to give the local result.
