Let $\eta >0$ and let $P_{\eta }\in L^4({\mathbb{R}}^2)$ solve the trapped focusing cubic ground-state equation. In the Focusing Schrödinger lens ansatz, the initial conditions $\lambda (-1)=\sqrt{1+\eta }$ and $b(-1)=1$ giveIndeed $b=-\lambda {\lambda }_t$ and ${\lambda }^2{b}_t+b^2=-\eta$. The positive $\eta$ keeps the scale nonzero for every real time.

A change of variables $y=x/\lambda (t)$ proves the critical spacetime bound exactly:Thus the solution expands at large times and has finite $L^4$ spacetime norm, rather than merely pointwise decay. This is the norm used by scattering from a finite Strichartz norm.^[ref]

For $T_2>T_1\ge -1$, the dual Strichartz estimate for the free Schrödinger equation givesThe assumed finite global $L_{t,x}^4$ norm makes the right side tend to zero as $T_1,T_2\to \infty$. The displayed family is therefore a Cauchy sequence in the complete space $L^2$ and has a strong limit $F_{\infty }$.

The Duhamel principle givesDefineSince the free Schrödinger group is unitary,This is scattering from a finite Strichartz norm.

The scaling in part 5 givesThus $u\in L_{t,x}^4([-1,\infty )\times {\mathbb{R}}^2)$. For $T<T^{\prime }$, the dual Strichartz estimate for the free Schrödinger equation giveswhich tends to zero as $T,T^{\prime }\to \infty$. The integrals in the question are therefore Cauchy in $L^2$.

The Duhamel principle in the interaction representation defines an $L^2$ limit $u_{\infty }$ and expresses $S(-t)u(t)-u_{\infty }$ as the tail integral from $t$ to infinity. The same estimate sends that tail to zero, proving the scattering from a finite Strichartz norm conclusion

A concrete Schrödinger expanding lens ansatz for the mass-critical equation starts with a finite-energy solution $v\in \Sigma$ of the trapped defocusing stationary equationSet $\lambda (t)=\sqrt{1+t^2}$. Thensolves the Defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two dimensions. Direct substitution gives the scale/chirp conditions $b=-t=-\lambda {\lambda }_t$, ${\lambda }^2{b}_t+b^2=-1$, and phase rate ${\gamma }_t=-\mu /{\lambda }^2$. The displayed stationary equation supplies exactly the remaining spatial terms.^[ref]

The harmonic-oscillator energy space assumption controls both the ordinary gradient and the quadratic-phase gradient. Moreover,by the substitution $x=\lambda y$ and ${\int }_{\mathbb{R}}(1+t^2{)}^{-1}dt=\pi$. This gives an explicit free solution to which scattering from a finite Strichartz norm applies.
