A numerical method for solving the time fractional Schrödinger equation

In this article, we proposed a new numerical method to obtain the approximation solution for the time-fractional Schrödinger equation based on reproducing kernel theory and collocation method. In order to overcome the weak singularity of typical solutions, we apply the integral operator to both sides of differential equation and yield a integral equation. We divided the solution of this kind equation into two parts: imaginary part and real part, and then derived the approximate solutions of the two parts in the form of series with easily computable terms in the reproducing kernel space. New bases of reproducing kernel spaces are constructed and the existence of approximate solution is proved. Numerical examples are given to show the accuracy and effectiveness of our approach.     

Existence time for the semilinear Schrödinger equation

Based on the methods introduced by Klainerman and Ponce, and Cohn, a lower hounded estimate of the existence time for a kind of semilinear Schrödinger equation is ohtained in this paper. The implementation of this method depends on the L ^p ? L ^q estimate and the energy estimate.     

Global existence for the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with fractional dissipation

We consider the initial value problem for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a fractional dissipation. Global existence and scattering are proved depending on the order of the fractional dissipation.     

Space-time scattering for the Schrödinger equation

Results are obtained on the scattering theory for the Schrödinger equation $i\partial _t u(t,x) = - \Delta _x u(t,x) + V(t,x)u(t,x) + F(u(t,x))$ in spacesL ^r (R;L ^q (R ^d )) for a certain range ofr, q, the so-called space-time scattering. In the linear case (i.e.F≡)) the relation with usual configuration space scattering is established.     

Fourier spectral method with an adaptive time strategy for nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation

In this paper, a Fourier spectral method with an adaptive time step strategy is proposed to solve the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger (FNLS) equation with periodic initial value problem. First, we prove the conservation law of the mass and the energy for the semi-discrete Fourier spectral scheme. Second, the error estimation of the semi-discrete scheme is given in the relevant fractional Sobolev space. Then, an adaptive time-step strategy is designed to reduce central processing unit (CPU) time. Finally, the numerical experiments for the one-, two- and three-dimensional FNLSs, show that the adaptive strategy, compared to the constant time step, can reduce the CPU-time by almost half.     

Galerkin-Legendre spectral schemes for nonlinear space fractional Schrödinger equation

In the paper, we first propose a Crank-Nicolson Galerkin-Legendre (CN-GL) spectral scheme for the one-dimensional nonlinear space fractional Schrödinger equation. Convergence with spectral accuracy is proved for the spectral approximation. Further, a Crank-Nicolson ADI Galerkin-Legendre spectral method for the two-dimensional nonlinear space fractional Schrödinger equation is developed. The proposed schemes are shown to be efficient with second-order accuracy in time and spectral accuracy in space which are higher than some recently studied methods. Moreover, some numerical results are demonstrated to justify the theoretical analysis.     

On fractional Schrödinger equation in α-dimensional fractional space

The Schrödinger equation is solved in $\alpha$-dimensional fractional space with a Coulomb potential proportional to $\frac{1}{r^{\beta ?2}}$, $2\le \beta \le 4$. The wave functions are studied in terms of spatial dimensionality $\alpha$ and $\beta$ and the results for $\beta =3$ are compared with those obtained in the literature.     

Error estimates of structure-preserving Fourier pseudospectral methods for the fractional Schrödinger equation

This paper gives a rigorous error analysis of the multisymplectic Fourier pseudospectral method for the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation. The method preserves some intrinsic structure properties including the generalized multisymplectic conservation law. By rewriting it in a matrix form similar to that in the finite difference method, the method is shown to be convergent in the discrete L² norm with the second-order accuracy in time and spectral accuracy in space. The key techniques in the analysis include the discrete energy method, cutoff of the nonlinearity, and a posterior bound of numerical solutions by using the inverse inequality. In a similar line, the convergence result for the symplectic Fourier pseudospectral method can also be established. Moreover, the errors in the local and global energy conservation laws of discrete systems are also investigated. Numerical tests are performed to confirm the theoretical results.     

Radial functions and regularity of solutions to the Schrödinger equation

Letf be a radial function and setT ^* f(x)=sup_0<t<1 |T _t f(x)|, x ∈ ?ⁿ, n≥2, where(T_t f)^ (ξ)=e ^it|ξ|a \(\hat f\) (ξ),a > 1. We show that, ifB is the ball centered at the origin, of radius 100, then \(\int\limits_B {|T^ * f(x)|} dx \leqslant c(\int {|\hat f(\xi )|^2 (l + |\xi |^s )ds} )^{1/2} \) if and only ifs≥1/4.     

Self-similar solutions for the Schrödinger map equation

We study in this article the equivariant Schrödinger map equation in dimension 2, from the Euclidean plane to the sphere. A family of self-similar solutions is constructed; this provides an example of regularity breakdown for the Schrödinger map. These solutions do not have finite energy, and hence do not fit into the usual framework for solutions. For data of infinite energy but small in some norm, we build up associated global solutions.     

Soliton dynamics for fractional Schrödinger equations

We investigate the soliton dynamics for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation by a suitable modulational inequality. In the semiclassical limit, the solution concentrates along a trajectory determined by a Newtonian equation depending of the fractional diffusion parameter.

Local Hölder regularity for set-indexed processes

In this paper, we study the Hölder regularity of set-indexed stochastic processes defined in the framework of Ivanoff–Merzbach. The first key result is a Kolmogorov-like Hölder-continuity Theorem, whose novelty is illustrated on an example which could not have been treated with anterior tools. Increments for set-indexed processes are usually not simply written as X_U ? X_V, hence we considered different notions of Hölder-continuity. Then, the localization of these properties leads to various definitions of Hölder exponents, which we compare to one another.     

Modified scattering for the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

$i{u}_t+\mathrm{\Delta }u=\lambda |u{|}^{\frac{2}{N}}u$

in all dimensions $N\ge 1$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$ and $?\lambda \le 0$. We construct a class of initial values for which the corresponding solution is global and decays as $t\to \infty$, like $t^{?\frac{N}{2}}$ if $?\lambda =0$ and like ${(t\log ?t)}^{?\frac{N}{2}}$ if $?\lambda <0$. Moreover, we give an asymptotic expansion of those solutions as $t\to \infty$. We construct solutions that do not vanish, so as to avoid any issue related to the lack of regularity of the nonlinearity at $u=0$. To study the asymptotic behavior, we apply the pseudo-conformal transformation and estimate the solutions by allowing a certain growth of the Sobolev norms which depends on the order of regularity through a cascade of exponents.     

On the spectral curve for functional-difference Schrödinger equation

We suggest a method for constructing a set of finite-gap solutions for a functional-difference deformation of the Schr?dinger equation v(x)f(x +2h)+ f(x)= λf(x + h). It is shown that the edges of gaps of the corresponding spectral curve depend on x. Examples are given. Bibliography: 7 titles.
