TY - JOUR T1 - Quasi-periodic solutions with Sobolev regularity of NLS on Td with a multiplicative potential JF - Journal of the European Mathematical Society Y1 - 2013 A1 - Massimiliano Berti A1 - Philippe Bolle AB - We prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions for Schrödinger equations with a multiplicative potential on Td , d ≥ 1, finitely differentiable nonlinearities, and tangential frequencies constrained along a pre-assigned direction. The solutions have only Sobolev regularity both in time and space. If the nonlinearity and the potential are C∞ then the solutions are C∞. The proofs are based on an improved Nash-Moser iterative scheme, which assumes the weakest tame estimates for the inverse linearized operators ("Green functions") along scales of Sobolev spaces. The key off-diagonal decay estimates of the Green functions are proved via a new multiscale inductive analysis. The main novelty concerns the measure and "complexity" estimates. © European Mathematical Society 2013.

The only external parameter is the length of the frequency vector. The solutions have Sobolev regularity both in time and space. The proof is based on a Nash-Moser iterative scheme as in [5]. The key tame estimates for the inverse linearized operators are obtained by a multiscale inductive argument, which is more difficult than for NLS due to the dispersion relation of the wave equation. We prove the 'separation properties' of the small divisors assuming weaker non-resonance conditions than in [11]. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.

The main new feature of the abstract iterative scheme is that the linearized operators, in a neighborhood of the expected solution, are invertible, and satisfy the "tame" estimates, only for proper subsets of the parameters. As an application we show the existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations on Riemannian Zoll manifolds. A point of interest is that, in presence of possibly very large "clusters of small divisors", due to resonance phenomena, it is more natural to expect solutions with only Sobolev regularity. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

We study both forced and autonomous PDEs. In the latter case our theorems generalize previous results of Bourgain to more general nonlinearities of class C k and assuming weaker non-resonance conditions. Our solutions have Sobolev regularity both in time and space. The proofs are based on a differentiable Nash-Moser iteration scheme, where it is sufficient to get estimates of interpolation-type for the inverse linearized operators. Our approach works also in presence of very large "clusters of small divisors". © Springer-Verlag (2009).

A Lyapunov-Schmidt decomposition reduces the problem to a finite dimensional bifurcation equation-variational in nature-defined on a Cantor set of non-resonant parameters. The Cantor gaps are due to "small divisors" phenomena. To solve the bifurcation equation we develop a suitable variational method. In particular, we do not require the typical "Arnold non-degeneracy condition" of the known theory on the nonlinear terms. As a consequence our existence results hold for new generic sets of nonlinearities. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

J. 134 (2006) 359-419 Y1 - 2006 A1 - Massimiliano Berti A1 - Philippe Bolle AB - We prove the existence of small amplitude, $2\\\\pi \\\\slash \\\\om$-periodic in time solutions of completely resonant nonlinear wave equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions, for any frequency $ \\\\om $ belonging to a Cantor-like set of positive measure and for a new set of nonlinearities. The proof relies on a suitable Lyapunov-Schmidt decomposition and a variant of the Nash-Moser Implicit Function Theorem. In spite of the complete resonance of the equation we show that we can still reduce the problem to a {\\\\it finite} dimensional bifurcation equation. Moreover, a new simple approach for the inversion of the linearized operators required by the Nash-Moser scheme is developed. It allows to deal also with nonlinearities which are not odd and with finite spatial regularity.
