Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of nonlinear multiplicative noise on the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation in the non-radial case. Local well-posedness follows from estimates related to the stochastic convolution and deterministic non-radial Strichartz estimates. Furthermore, the blow-up criterion is presented. Then, with the help of Itô’s lemma and stopping time arguments, the global solution is constructed almost surely. The main innovation is that the non-radial global solution is given under fractional-order derivatives and a nonlinear noise term.

1. Introduction
We consider the following Cauchy problem of the stochastic nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation:
where is non-radial, , , , and ∘ denotes the Stratonovitch product. The variable is a nonlinear complex-valued function. And the assumptions related to are given later. The fractional Laplacian operator is defined as
To state the noise term precisely, we introduce a probability space , which depends on a filtration and a sequence of independent real-valued Brownian motions . The random process
is a Winner process in the space of square-integrable functions, where linear operator is bounded on , and is an Hilbertian basis on . The equivalent Itô equation for Problem (1) is presented by
where
The mild solution to Problem (2) can be formulated as the following:
The last term of (3),
is called stochastic convolution, where denotes the linear fractional Schrödinger propagator.
In recent years, fractional differential equations have been widely investigated for applications in physics and other fields (see [1,2,3,4,5,6]). For example, Laskin [5,6] introduced a deterministic fractional Schrödinger equation:
For more detailed results of Equation (4), one can see [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. In order to describe the results of Equation (4) more clearly, we first recall the notion of scaling-critical for Equation (4), which is based on the dilation symmetry
for . It is clear that if u is a solution to Equation (4), then is also a solution to Equation (4) with the corresponding rescaled initial value. In addition, the scaling-critical Sobolev regularity
is obtained by using the dilation symmetry, which makes the homogeneous -norm invariant. And works as a threshold law for the well-posedness and ill-posedness of Equation (4). Local well-posedness in for the Cauchy problem of Equation (4) has been investigated in the sub-critical case () (see [10,13]). For the critical case , Dinh [10] discussed the local existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem. Furthermore, Hong and Sire [13] showed ill-posedness for the Cauchy problem in scaling the super-critical regime (). In this paper, we consider the well-posedness for Problem (1) in the sub-critical case.
Although the propagation of waves is often described by deterministic models, spatial and temporal fluctuation of parameters of the medium have to be taken into account in some circumstances. This often occurs through a random potential or by describing the propagation of dispersive waves in non-homogeneous or random media. So it is natural to introduce stochastic Schrödinger equations. In [15,16], de Bouard and Debussche investigated the Cauchy problem of the following equation:
From deterministic Strichartz estimates, de Bouard and Debussche established that the stochastic convolution almost surely belongs to a right Strichartz space, which allowed them to show local well-posedness in and , respectively. In [15], the mass conversation for the deterministic equation and Itô’s lemma were used to construct a global solution in almost surely. The authors also proved that the global well-posedness in follows from an a priori -bound based on the conservation of the energy for the deterministic classical Schrödinger equation and Itô’s lemma in [16]. Furthermore, Barbu et al. [17,18] discussed the effects of a finite dimensional Winner process on the local and global well-posedness. They introduced the scaling transformation such that they could apply the fixed-point argument related to the deterministic equation and Strichartz estimates of the evolution operator . However, the drawback is this method only works on the finite dimensional Wiener process. For nonlinear multiplicative noise, Ondreját [19] studied the pathwise uniqueness and norm continuity of the local solution to the stochastic wave equation. Brźniak et al. [20] proved the existence and uniqueness of the global solution on a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Furthermore, Fabian [21] considered local well-posedness for the classical Schrödinger equation with a nonlinear perturbation term in by utilizing deterministic and stochastic Strichartz estimates; then, the global solution was given based on the uniform bound of u. Yang and Chen [22] showed the existence of martingale solutions for the stochastic nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation on a bounded interval. We refer readers to references [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. for more details.
Inspired by [10,15,16,19,20,21,22], we consider the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with a nonlinear noise term in this paper. Compared to the known results about Equation (5), we overcome two difficulties in this work: one is that the noise term is nonlinear, and the another one is the loss of derivatives. Under more suitable assumptions regarding the noise term, we established estimates related to the stochastic convolution, which allows us to discuss the local well-posedness. Furthermore, effects of the loss of derivatives can be compensated for by using the Sobolev embedding. Based on deterministic non-radial Strichartz estimates and the estimates associated with the stochastic convolution, we prove local existence and uniqueness of the mild solution (see Theorem 1). In order to study the existence of the global solution, our main tool is Itô’s lemma. More precisely, we investigate the generalizations of the mass and energy in random settings via Itô’s formula. Then, with the help of stopping time arguments, we show the global well-posedness in almost surely (see Theorem 2). The new contribution in this work is that we show the existence of a non-radial global solution under fractional-order derivatives and a nonlinear noise term.

Taking , , it is clear that
By the Strichartz estimates, it follows that
For the purpose of estimating I for , we set

Without loss of generality, we assume such that
To estimate , we recall the following lemma from [15].
According to Lemma 6, it is easy to get

Using Lemma 2, it follows that
Similarly, we obtain
Then, it follows from (23)–(26) that
Thanks to Hölder’s inequality, one can check that
Combining all the above estimates, we conclude
Similar to the estimate of the first term on the right-hand side of (22), we arrive at

In the same spirit as the proof of Step 1, we obtain
The constant on the right-hand side of (30) is the same as the constant in (27), so we can conclude that the mapping is a contraction map on
From (28), we know that for , there exists

which means that almost surely for . By iterating, it follows that almost surely for , where . The assertion follows from if m is large enough.
We set

almost surely. Then, it is obvious that
for all stopping times . Furthermore, the uniqueness of this local solution is consistent with the uniqueness of the solution to Equation (20) in .
Step 3: We give

For , set
Using (17), we derive
Suppose that
Thus, if R is large enough, we get
which implies that for :
From Equation (38), it follows that
Thus, we arrive at
However, (35)–(37) lead to that, for ,
which contradicts (39).
Hence, we get
The proof of Theorem 1 is now complete.

In the case of , from , the following Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality holds (see [32]):
Application of (47) and (40) leads to
Combining (46) and (48), it follows that
For , utilizing Gronwall’s inequality and Sobolev embedding, we have

In summary, we complete the proof of Theorem 2.
5. Conclusions
This paper is dedicated to non-radial solutions to the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with nonlinear multiplicative noise. Local well-posedness in almost surely follows from the estimates related to the stochastic convolution and deterministic non-radial Strichartz estimates. Furthermore, the blow-up criterion is presented. Then, the global existence of a solution in almost surely follows from an a priori estimate based on the conservation of energy and Itô’s formula. Comparing to known results about Equation (5) (see [10,15,16,19,20,21,22]), there are two difficulties we have overcome in this paper: one is that the noise term is nonlinear, and the another one is the loss of derivatives. The main innovation is to show the existence of a non-radial global solution under fractional-order derivatives and a nonlinear noise term.
