Existence of Global Solutions to the Derivative NLS Equation with the Inverse Scattering Transform Method

We address the existence of global solutions to the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation without the small-norm assumption. By using the inverse scattering transform method without eigenvalues and resonances, we construct a unique global solution in $H^2(\mathbb{R}) \cap H^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$ which is also Lipschitz continuous with respect to the initial data. Compared to the existing literature on the spectral problem for the DNLS …
