Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Ground State Solutions for Quasilinear Schr?dinger Equations with Unbounded Potential

The authors study the existence of standing wave solutions for the quasilinear Schr?dinger equation with the critical exponent and singular coefficients. By applying the mountain pass theorem and the concentration compactness principle, they get a ground state solution. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of the ground state solution is also obtained.     

Long-time Asymptotic Behavior for the Derivative Schr¨odinger Equation with Finite Density Type Initial Data*

In this paper, the authors apply ? steepest descent method to study the Cauchy problem for the derivative nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with finite density type initial data iq_t + q_xx + i(|q|²q)x = 0,q(x, 0) = q0(x),where lim/x→±∞ q0(x) = q± and |q±| = 1. Based on the spectral analysis of the Lax pair,they express the solution of the derivative Schr¨odinger equation in terms of solutions of a Riemann-Hilbert problem. They compute the long time asymptotic expansion of the solution q(x, t) in different space-time regions. For the region ξ =x/t with |ξ + 2| < 1, the long time asymptotic is given by q(x, t) = T (∞)^?2q^r_Λ(x, t) + O(t^?3/4 ),in which the leading term is N(I) solitons, the second term is a residual error from a ? equation. For the region |ξ + 2| > 1, the long time asymptotic is given by q(x, t) = T (∞)^?2q^r_Λ(x, t) ? t^?1/2 if¹¹ + O(t^?3/4 ),in which the leading term is N(I) solitons, the second t^?1/2 order term is soliton-radiation interactions and the third term is a residual error from a ? equation. These results are verification of the soliton resolution conjecture for the derivative Schr¨odinger equation. In their case of finite density type initial data, the phase function θ(z) is more complicated that in finite mass initial data. Moreover, two triangular decompositions of the jump matrix are used to open jump lines on the whole real axis and imaginary axis, respectively.
