We get decay rate of higher derivatives of nonlinear massless Dirac equations with a kind of "good" spin null form. The method we rely on is similar to that of Li and Zang. However, they only give the decay rate of solution itself to…

We study the long-time behavior of small solutions for a broad class of 2D Dirac-type equations with suitable nonlinearities. First, we prove that for nonlinearities with power $p\geq 5$ (massless case) and $p\geq7$ (massive case), any…
