Abstract

We investigate the local and global well-posedness of the kinetic derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (KDNLS) on R\mathbb{R}, described by itu+x2u=iαx(u2u)+iβx(H(u2)u), i\partial_t u + \partial_x^2 u = i\alpha \partial_x (|u|^2 u) + i\beta \partial_x (H(|u|^2) u), where α,βR\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}, and HH represents the Hilbert transformation. For KDNLS, the L2L^2 norm of a solution is decreasing (resp. increasing, conserved) when β\beta is negative (resp. positive, zero). Focusing on the Sobolev spaces H2H^2 and H2H1,1H^2 \cap H^{1,1}, we establish local well-posedness via the energy method combined with gauge transformations to address resonant interactions in both cases of negative and positive β\beta. For the dissipative case β<0\beta < 0, we further demonstrate global well-posedness by deriving an a priori bound in H2H^2.
