Normalized solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\Delta u - g(u) = \lambda u,\\ u \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} u^2 = 1, \lambda \in \mathbb{R},\end{array}\right.$$ in dimension N ≥ 2. Here g is a superlinear, subcritical, possibly nonhomogeneous, odd nonlinearity. We deal with the case where the associated functional is not bounded below on the L ²-unit sphere, and we show the existence of infinitely many solutions.     

Global solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We study the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in \(\mathbb {R}^n\) without making any periodicity assumptions on the potential or on the nonlinear term. This prevents us from using concentration compactness methods. Our assumptions are such that the potential does not change the essential spectrum of the linear operator. This results in \([0, \infty )\) being the absolutely continuous part of the spectrum. If there are an infinite number of negative eigenvalues, they will converge to 0. In each case we obtain nontrivial solutions. We also obtain least energy solutions.     

Classical solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We prove the existence of global classical solutions to the initial value problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, iu_t–u+q(|u|²)u=0 in iu_t - u + (|u|²)u = in (t, x)xⁿ for 6n11.     

Abstract criteria for multiple solutions to nonlinear coupled equations involving magnetic Schrödinger operators

We consider a system of nonlinear coupled equations involving magnetic Schrödinger operators and general potentials. We provide the criteria for the existence of multiple solutions to these equations. As special cases we get the classical results on existence of infinitely many distinct solutions within Hartree and Hartree–Fock theory of atoms and molecules subject to an external magnetic fields. We also extend recent results within this theory, including Coulomb system with a constant magnetic field, a decreasing magnetic field and a “physically measurable” magnetic field.     

Darboux transformation and soliton solutions for the coupled cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in nonlinear optics

In this paper, by virtue of the Darboux transformation (DT) and symbolic computation, the quintic generalization of the coupled cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equations from twin-core nonlinear optical fibers and waveguides are studied, which describe the effects of quintic nonlinearity on the ultrashort optical pulse propagation in non-Kerr media. Lax pair of the equations is obtained and the corresponding DT is constructed. Moreover, one-, two- and three-soliton solutions are presented in the forms of modulus. Features of solitons are graphically discussed: (1) head-on and overtaking elastic collisions of the two solitons; (2) periodic attraction and repulsion of the bounded states of two solitons; (3) energy-exchanging collisions of the three solitons.

Multi-bump solitons to linearly coupled systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

This paper is devoted to study a class of systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations: \(\left\{\begin{array}{rcl} -\Delta u+u-u^{3}=\epsilon v, \\ -\Delta v+v-v^{3}=\epsilon u, \end{array}\right.\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) with dimension n = 1,2,3. Our main result states that if \(\mathcal{P}\) denotes a regular polytope centered at the origin of \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) such that its side is greater than the radius, then there exists a solution with one multi-bump component having bumps located near the vertices of \(\xi\mathcal{P}\), where \({\xi\sim \log(1/\varepsilon)}\), while the other component has one negative peak.     

Stability and long time evolution of the periodic solutions to the two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The system of two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations has wide applications in physics. In the past, the main attention has been their solitary waves. Here we turn our attention to their periodic wave solutions. In this paper, the stability of the periodic solutions is studied analytically and the criteria for the stability are obtained. The long time evolution of the solutions to the coupled system is studied numerically for the unstable case emphasizing wave–wave interactions in nonlinear optics. Different kinds of evolution are observed depending on the coefficients of the system and the parameters of the unperturbed waves and perturbation. For certain ranges of parameters, the evolution appears to be periodic, while for some other ranges of parameters, solitary wave or solitary wave pairs can be excited among the irregular background although often the evolution is completely chaotic.     

Multiple solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations with singular electromagnetic potential

We consider the semilinear electromagnetic Schrödinger equation ${(-i{\nabla} + \mathcal{A}(x))^{2}u + V (x)u = |u|^{{2}^{\ast}-2}u, u\, {\in}\, D_{\mathcal{A},0}^{1,2}{(\Omega,\mathbb{C})}}$ , where ${\Omega = (\mathbb{R}^{m}\;{\backslash}\;\{0\}) {\times} {\mathbb{R}^{N-m}}}$ with 2 ≤ m ≤  N, N ≥ 3, 2* : = 2N/(N – 2) is the critical Sobolev exponent, V is a Hardy term and ${\mathcal{A}}$ is a singular magnetic potential of a particular form which includes the Aharonov– Bohm potentials. Under some symmetry assumptions on ${\mathcal{A}}$ we obtain multiplicity of solutions satisfying certain symmetry properties.     

Small solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the Sobolev spaces

The local and global well-posedness for the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations is studied. The global well-posedness of the problem is proved in the Sobolev spaceH ^s=H^s(R ⁿ) of fractional orders>n/2 under the following assumptions. (1) Concerning the Cauchy data ?∈H ^s: ‖?;L ²‖ is relatively small with respect to ‖?;H ^σ‖ for any fixed σ withn/2<σ≤s. (2) Concerning the nonlinearityf: f(u) behaves as a conformal poweru ¹⁺⁴/n near zero and has an arbitrary growth rate at infinity.     

Riemann-Hilbert approach for multisoliton solutions of generalized coupled fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The main purpose of this work is to develop Riemann-Hilbert approach to obtain the soliton solutions for generalized coupled fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which describe the simultaneous propagation of optical pulses in an inhomogeneous optical fiber. Starting from the spectral analysis of the Lax pair, a Riemann-Hilbert problem is set up. After solving the obtained Riemann-Hilbert problem with reflectionless case, we systematically derive multisoliton solutions for the generalized coupled fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations. In addition, the localized structures and dynamic behaviors of one- and two-soliton solutions are shown by some graphic analysis.     

Existence and concentration of positive solutions for coupled Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we study the existence and concentration of positive solution of a class of coupled Schrödinger equations. We admit that the potentials may not be non-negative and suppose that the intersection of the sets has positive Lebesgue measure. By studying the modified functional of the associated functional carefully, we establish the existence of positive least energy solutions for the coupled Schrödinger system. Moreover, we prove the concentration phenomenon of the positive solution when the parameter goes to infinity.     

Multiple complex-valued solutions for nonlinear magnetic Schrödinger equations

We study, in the semiclassical limit, the singularly perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equations

$$\begin{aligned} L^{\hbar }_{A,V} u = f(|u|^2)u \quad \hbox {in}\quad \mathbb {R}^N \end{aligned}$$

(0.1)

where \(N \ge 3\), \(L^{\hbar }_{A,V}\) is the Schrödinger operator with a magnetic field having source in a \(C^1\) vector potential A and a scalar continuous (electric) potential V defined by

$$\begin{aligned} L^{\hbar }_{A,V}= -\hbar ^2 \Delta -\frac{2\hbar }{i} A \cdot \nabla + |A|^2- \frac{\hbar }{i}\mathrm{div}A + V(x). \end{aligned}$$

(0.2)

Here, f is a nonlinear term which satisfies the so-called Berestycki-Lions conditions. We assume that there exists a bounded domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} m_0 \equiv \inf _{x \in \Omega } V(x) < \inf _{x \in \partial \Omega } V(x) \end{aligned}$$

and we set \(K = \{ x \in \Omega \ | \ V(x) = m_0\}\). For \(\hbar >0\) small we prove the existence of at least \({\mathrm{cupl}}(K) + 1\) geometrically distinct, complex-valued solutions to (0.1) whose moduli concentrate around K as \(\hbar \rightarrow 0\).

     

Multibump solutions for discrete periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we study the existence of multibump solutions for discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodic potentials. We first reduce the existence of multibump homoclinic solutions to the existence of an isolated homoclinic solution with a nontrivial critical group. Then, we study the existence of homoclinics with nontrivial critical groups for both superlinear and asymptotically linear discrete periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equations, and we provide simple sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinics with nontrivial critical groups in the positive definite case. As an application, we get, without any symmetry assumptions, infinitely many geometrically distinct homoclinic solutions with exponential decay at infinity.

Construction of minimal mass blow-up solutions to rough nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We study the focusing mass-critical rough nonlinear Schrödinger equations, where the stochastic integration is taken in the sense of controlled rough path. In both dimensions one and two, the minimal mass blow-up solutions are constructed, which behave asymptotically like the pseudo-conformal blow-up solutions near the blow-up time. Furthermore, the global well-posedness is obtained if the mass of initial data is below that of the ground state. These results yield that the mass of ground state is exactly the threshold of global well-posedness and blow-up in the stochastic focusing mass-critical case. Similar results are also obtained for a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with lower order perturbations, particularly in the absence of the standard pseudo-conformal symmetry and the conservation law of energy.     

Existence of solutions for a system of coupled nonlinear stationary bi-harmonic Schrödinger equations

We obtain existence and multiplicity results for the solutions of a class of coupled semilinear bi-harmonic Schrödinger equations. Actually, using the classical Mountain Pass Theorem and minimization techniques, we prove the existence of critical points of the associated functional constrained on the Nehari manifold.Furthermore, we show that using the so-called fibering method and the Lusternik–Schnirel’man theory there exist infinitely many solutions, actually a countable family of critical points, for such a semilinear bi-harmonic Schrödinger system under study in this work.
