A sharp lower bound for the lifespan of small solutions to the Schrödinger equation with a subcritical power nonlinearity

Let $T_ε$ be the lifespan for the solution to the Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a power nonlinearity $λ|u|^{2θ/d}u$ ($λ\in \mathbb{C}$, $0<θ<1$) and the initial data in the form $εφ(x)$. We provide a sharp lower bound estimate for $T_ε$ as $ε\to +0$ which can be written explicitly by $λ$, $d$, $θ$, $φ$ and $ε$. This is an improvement of the previous result by H.Sasaki [Adv. Diff. Eq. 14 (2009), 1021--1039].
