Dispersion-manageability conjecture for non-scattering data

Let u0H1(Rd)u_0\in H^1({\mathbb R}^d) be non-scattering data, meaning that the solution to (NLS)(NLS)_- with u(0,x)=u0(x)u(0,x)=u_0(x) does not scatter. Let t0,t1t_0,t_1 be the management parameters and let γ+,γ\gamma_+,\gamma_- be the corresponding managed coefficients. A solution of the dispersion-managed NLS model is dispersion-manageable when it exists globally and satisfies

c0supt0u(t,)Lx(Rd)C0c_0\leq \sup_{t\geq 0}\left\|u(t,\cdot)\right\|_{L_x^\infty({\mathbb R}^d)}\leq C_0

for some c0,C0(0,)c_0,C_0\in(0,\infty).

Non-scattering-data dispersion-manageability conjecture. Given such u0u_0, both of the following assertions hold: (i) for fixed t0,t1t_0,t_1, there exist γ+=γ+(u0)\gamma_+=\gamma_+(u_0) and γ=γ(u0)\gamma_-=\gamma_-(u_0); and (ii) for fixed γ+,γ\gamma_+,\gamma_-, there exist t0=t0(u0)t_0=t_0(u_0) and t1=t1(u0)t_1=t_1(u_0); in either case, the solution of the dispersion-managed NLS model with u(0)=u0u(0)=u_0 is dispersion-manageable.

This conjecture proposes a parameter-selection mechanism producing global, non-scattering managed solutions from non-scattering initial data. Its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
