Nonlinear scattering theory for a class of wave equations in H

For the semi-linear (higher order) wave equation and the nonlinear (higher order) Schrödinger equation, we show that the scattering operators map a band in H^s into H^s if the nonlinearities have (sub-)critical powers in H^s. The smoothness of the scattering operators and the uniform boundedness of strong solutions for the defocusing NLS equation are also shown provided that the nonlinearities have subcritical growth in H¹. Moreover, the spatial decaying behavior of solutions in energy space for the defocusing NLS equation are obtained.
