In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation
$i \partial_{t}u+\partial_{x}^{4}u=u^{2},\ \ (t,x)∈[0,T]× \mathbb{R}.$
Zheng (Adv. Differential Equations, 16(2011), 467-486.) has proved that the problem is locally well-posed in
$H^{s}(\mathbb{R})$
 with
$-\frac{7}{4} <s≤q 0.$
 In this paper, we aim at extending Zheng's work to a lower regularity index. We prove that the equation is locally well-posed in
$H^{s}(\mathbb{R})$
 when
$s≥q -2$
 and ill-posed when
$s < -2$
 in the sense that the solution map is discontinuous for
$s <-2$
. The key ingredient used in this paper is Besov-type space introduced by Bejenaru and Tao (Journal of Functional Analysis, 233(2006), 228-259.).
Keywords: Fourth order Schrödinger equation, Cauchy problem, sharp well-posedness, Besov-type space.
