Existence of solutions for a quasilinear Schrödinger equation with vanishing potentials

In this paper we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the quasilinear Schrödinger equation:

−Δu+V(x)u−Δ(u²)u=g(u),$-\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u-\mathrm{\Delta }\left(u^2\right)u=g(u),$

in R^N${\mathbb{R}}^N$, where N?3$N?3$, g has a quasicritical growth and V is a nonnegative potential, which can vanish at infinity.     

Nonnegative solution for quasilinear Schrödinger equations that include supercritical exponents with nonlinearities that are indefinite in sign

In this study, we establish the existence of solutions for quasilinear Schrödinger equations involving supercritical growth with nonlinearities that are indefinite in sign. By changing the variables, the quasilinear equations are reduced to semilinear and variational methods, which are then used to obtain existence results.     

On the blow up phenomenon of the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper we consider the blow up phenomenon of critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations in dimension 1D and 2D. We define the minimal mass as the L² norm necessary to ignite a wave collapse and we stress its role in the blow up mechanism. Asymptotic compactness properties and L²-concentration are proved. The proof relies on linear and nonlinear profile decompositions.

The general quasilinear ultrahyperbolic Schrödinger equation

We consider the general quasilinear Schrödinger equation whose second order coefficients are given by a real symmetric non-degenerate matrix. We deduce conditions which guarantee that the associated initial value problem is locally well posed.     

Multiple solutions for quasilinear Schrödinger equations involving critical exponent

By using Lions’ second concentration-compactness principle and concentration-compactness principle at infinity to prove that the (PS) condition holds locally and by minimax methods and the Krasnoselski genus theory, we establish the multiplicity of solutions for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations arising from physics.     

Strichartz estimates for the magnetic Schrödinger equation

We prove global, scale invariant Strichartz estimates for the linear magnetic Schrödinger equation with small time dependent magnetic field. This is done by constructing an appropriate parametrix. As an application, we show a global regularity type result for Schrödinger maps in dimensions n?6.     

Dynamics for the energy critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in high dimensions

In [T. Duyckaerts, F. Merle, Dynamic of threshold solutions for energy-critical NLS, preprint, arXiv:0710.5915 [math.AP]], T. Duyckaerts and F. Merle studied the variational structure near the ground state solution W of the energy critical NLS and classified the solutions with the threshold energy E(W) in dimensions d=3,4,5 under the radial assumption. In this paper, we extend the results to all dimensions d?6. The main issue in high dimensions is the non-Lipschitz continuity of the nonlinearity which we get around by making full use of the decay property of W.     

An endpoint space–time estimate for the Schrödinger equation

We obtain endpoint estimates for the Schrödinger operator f→eitΔf in with initial data f in the homogeneous Sobolev space . The exponents and regularity index satisfy and . For n=2 we prove the estimates in the range q>16/5, and for n?3 in the range q>2+4/(n+1).     

Improved inhomogeneous Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation

We study inhomogeneous Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation for dimension n?3. Using a frequency localization, we obtain some improved range of Strichartz estimates for the solution of inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation except dimension n=3.     

On a class of Schrödinger systems with discontinuous nonlinearities

Using a non-smooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals, we investigate a class of stationary Schrödinger systems with subcritical discontinuous nonlinearities and lower bounded potentials that blow up at infinity. The existence of nontrivial solution is obtained.     

On the existence of standing wave solutions for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger systems

In this paper minimax methods in a suitable Orlicz space are employed to establish the existence of standing wave solutions for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger systems involving subcritical nonlinearities. The systems considered here can model an interaction phenomena in plasma physics.     

Multiple solutions of a coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system

We will consider the relation between the number of positive standing waves solutions for a class of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system in RN and the topology of the set of minimum points of potential V(x). The main characteristics of the system are that its functional is strongly indefinite at zero and there is a lack of compactness in RN. Combining the dual variational method with the Nehari technique and using the Concentration-Compactness Lemma, we obtain the existence of multiple solutions associated to the set of global minimum points of the potential V(x) for ? sufficiently small. In addition, our result gives a partial answer to a problem raised by Sirakov about existence of solutions of the perturbed system.     

Evolution of solitary waves for a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Soliton perturbation theory is used to determine the evolution of a solitary wave described by a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Perturbation terms, which model wide classes of physically relevant perturbations, are considered. An analytical solution is found for the first-order correction of the evolving solitary wave. This solution for the solitary wave tail is in integral form and an explicit expression is found, for large time. Singularity theory, usually used for combustion problems, is applied to the large time expression for the solitary wave tail. Analytical results are obtained, such as the parameter regions in which qualitatively different types of solitary wave tails occur, the location of zeros and the location and amplitude of peaks, in the solitary wave tail. Two examples, the near-continuum limit of a discrete NLS equation and an explicit numerical scheme for the NLS equation, are considered in detail. For the discrete NLS equation it is found that three qualitatively different types of solitary wave tail can occur, while for the explicit finite-difference scheme, only one type of solitary wave tail occurs. An excellent comparison between the perturbation solution and numerical simulations, for the solitary wave tail, is found for both examples.

Locating peaks of a Schrödinger equation with sign-changing nonlinearity

In this paper, we study the concentration phenomenon of a positive ground state solution of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation on R^N. The coefficient of the nonlinearity of the equation changes sign. We prove that the solution has a maximum point at x₀∈Ω⁺={x∈R^N:Q(x)>0} where the energy attains its minimum.     

An optimal control problem for two-dimensional Schrödinger equation

In this paper we consider an optimal control problem controlled by three functions which are in the coefficients of a two-dimensional Schrödinger equation. After proving the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution, we get the Frechet differentiability of the cost functional using Hamilton-Pontryagin function. Then we state a necessary condition to an optimal solution in the variational inequality form using the gradient.
