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.     

Stabilization of the higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with constant coefficients

We study the internal stabilization of the higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with constant coefficients. Combining multiplier techniques, a fixed point argument and nonlinear interpolation theory, we can obtain the well-posedness. Then, applying compactness arguments and a unique continuation property, we prove that the solution of the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a damping term decays exponentially.     

The hierarchy of higher order solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we provide a simple method to generate higher order position solutions and rogue wave solutions for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The formulae of these higher order solutions are given in terms of determinants. The dynamics and structures of solutions generated by this method are studied.     

Time dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We prove the existence of global classical solutions of the Cauchy-problem for nonlinear Schrödinger equations u+iAu+f(|u|²)u or u+Au+if(|u|²)u respectively. We need various growth conditions on the nonlinearity f and some restrictions on the admissible space dimension n.     

On a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

This paper concerns the existence of standing wave solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Making a standing wave ansatz reduces the problem to that of studying the semilinear elliptic equation:

Blow-up solutions of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we study blow-up solutions to the Cauchy problem of the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation $ \partial_t u = i ( f(x) \Delta u + \nabla f(x) \cdot \nabla u +k(x)|u|^2u) $ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2In this paper, we study blow-up solutions to the Cauchy problem of the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr?dinger equation on . We present existence and non-existence results and investigate qualitative properties of the solutions when they exist.

Three nonlinear integrable couplings of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Based on two types of expanding Lie algebras of a Lie algebra G, three isospectral problems are designed. Under the framework of zero curvature equation, three nonlinear integrable couplings of the nonlinear Schröding equations are generated. With the help of variational identity, we get the Hamiltonian structure of one of them. Furthermore, we get the result that the hierarchy is also integrable in sense of Liouville.     

Localized nodal solutions of higher topological type for semiclassical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We investigate the existence of localized sign-changing solutions for the semiclassical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

$$\begin{aligned} -\epsilon ^2\Delta v+V(x)v=|v|^{p-2}v,\ v\in H^1(\mathbb {R}^N) \end{aligned}$$

where \(N\ge 2,\) \(2<p<2^*\), \(\epsilon >0\) is a small parameter, and V is assumed to be bounded and bounded away from zero. When V has a local minimum point P, as \(\epsilon \rightarrow 0\), we construct an infinite sequence of localized sign-changing solutions clustered at P and these solutions are of higher topological type in the sense that they are obtained from a minimax characterization of higher dimensional symmetric linking structure via the symmetric mountain pass theorem. It has been an open question whether the sign-changing solutions of higher topological type can be localized and our result gives an affirmative answer. The existing results in the literature have been subject to some geometrical or topological constraints that limit the number of localized sign-changing solutions. At a local minimum point of V, Bartsch et al. (Math Ann 338:147–185, 2007) proved the existence of N pairs of localized sign-changing solutions and D’Aprile and Pistoia (Ann Inst Hénri Poincare Anal Non Linéaire 26:1423–1451, 2009) constructed 9 pairs of localized sign-changing solutions for \(N\ge 3\). Our result gives an unbounded sequence of such solutions. Our method combines the Byeon and Wang’s penalization approach and minimax method via a variant of the classical symmetric mountain pass theorem, and is rather robust without using any non-degeneracy conditions.

     

Stability of nonlinear Schrödinger equations on modulation spaces

We consider the Cauchy problem for a family of SchrSdinger equations with initial data in modulation spaces Mp,1^s. We develop the existence, uniqueness, blowup criterion, stability of regularity, scattering theory, and stability theory.     

Existence of breathers for discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we obtain a new sufficient condition on the existence of breathers for the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations by using critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations. The classical Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz superlinear condition is improved.     

Loss of regularity for supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with defocusing, smooth, nonlinearity. Below the critical Sobolev regularity, it is known that the Cauchy problem is ill-posed. We show that this is even worse, namely that there is a loss of regularity, in the spirit of the result due to G. Lebeau in the case of the wave equation. As a consequence, the Cauchy problem for energy-supercritical equations is not well-posed in the sense of Hadamard. We reduce the problem to a supercritical WKB analysis. For super-cubic, smooth nonlinearity, this analysis is new, and relies on the introduction of a modulated energy functional à la Brenier.     

Remarks on some systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We prove the existence of solutions of some nonautonomous systems of nonlinear Schr?dinger equations, by means of perturbation techniques. The work has been supported by M.U.R.S.T. under the national project “Variational methods and nonlinear differential equations”.     

Positive bound states of systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We study the existence of positive bound states of non-autonomous systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Both the singular case and the regular case are discussed. The proof is based on a nonlinear alternative principle of Leray–Schauder.     

Blow-up solutions of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations on torus

In this paper, we study blow-up solutions to the Cauchy problem of the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation${\mathrm{\partial }}_{t}u=i(f(x)\mathrm{\Delta }u+\nabla f(x)·\nabla u+k(x)|u{|}^{2}u)$on ${\mathbb{T}}^2$. We present the $L^2$-concentration property for general initial data and investigate the $L^2$-minimality.     

Bifurcation in a multicomponent system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the system ${-\Delta{u}_{j} + a(x)u_{j} = \mu_{j}u^{3}_{j} + \beta \sum_{k \neq j} u^{2}_{k}u_{j}}$ , u _j > 0, j = 1, . . . , n, on a possibly unbounded domain ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}, N \leq 3}$ , with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The system appears in nonlinear optics and in the analysis of mixtures of Bose–Einstein condensates. We consider the self-focussing (attractive self-interaction) case ${\mu_{1}, \ldots, \mu_{n} > 0}$ and take ${\beta \in \mathbb{R}}$ as bifurcation parameter. There exists a branch of positive solutions with uj/uk being constant for all ${j, k \in \{1, \ldots, n\}}$ . The main results are concerned with the bifurcation of solutions from this branch. Using a hidden symmetry we are able to prove global bifurcation even when the linearization has even-dimensional kernel (which is always the case when n > 1 is odd).
