Long range scattering for nonlinear Schrödinger equations in one space dimension

We consider the scattering problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in 1+1 dimensions: where = /x,R{0},R,p>3. We show that modified wave operators for (*) exist on a dense set of a neighborhood of zero in the Lebesgue spaceL ²(R) or in the Sobolev spaceH ¹(R)., The modified wave operators are introduced in order to control the long range nonlinearity |u|² u.Laboratoire associé au Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique     

Local and non-local conserved quantities for generalized non-linear Schrödinger equations

It is shown how to construct infinitely many conserved quantities for the classical non-linear Schrödinger equation associated with an arbitrary Hermitian symmetric spaceG/K. These quantities are non-local in general, but include a series of local quantities as a special case. Their Poisson bracket algebra is studied, and is found to be a realization of the half Kac-Moody algebrak _R [], consisting of polynomials in positive powers of a complex parameter which have coefficients in the compact real form ofk (the Lie algebra ofK).     

Wave operators and analytic solutions for systems of non-linear Klein-Gordon equations and of non-linear Schrödinger equations

We consider, in a 1+3 space time, arbitrary (finite) systems of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations (respectively Schrödinger equations) with an arbitrary local and analytic non-linearity in the unknown and its first and second order space-time (respectively first order space) derivatives, having no constant or linear terms. No restriction is given on the frequency sign of the initial data. In the case of non-linear Klein-Gordon equations all masses are supposed to be different from zero.We prove, for such systems, that the wave operator (fromt= tot=0) exists on a domain of small entire test functions of exponential type and that the analytic Cauchy problem, in ⁺׳, has a unique solution for each initial condition (att=0) being in the image of the wave operator. The decay properties of such solutions are discussed in detail.Partially supported by the Swiss National Science FoundationOn leave from Institut de Physique Théorique, 32 Bd d'Ivoy, CH-1211 Geneve 4 Switzerland.     

Kac-Moody symmetry of generalized non-linear Schrödinger equations

The classical non-linear Schrödinger equation associated with a symmetric Lie algebra =km is known to possess a class of conserved quantities which from a realization of the algebrak []. The construction is now extended to provide a realization of the Kac-Moody algebrak[, ^–1] (with central extension). One can then define auxiliary quantities to obtain the full algebra [, ^–1]. This leads to the formal linearization of the system.     

Inverse scattering method and vector higher order non-linear Schrödinger equation

A generalized inverse scattering method has been developed for arbitrary n-dimensional Lax equations. Subsequently, the method has been used to obtain N-soliton solutions of a vector higher order non-linear Schrödinger equation, proposed by us. It has been shown that under a suitable reduction, the vector higher order non-linear Schrödinger equation reduces to the higher order non-linear Schrödinger equation. An infinite number of conserved quantities have been obtained by solving a set of coupled Riccati equations. Gauge equivalence is shown between the vector higher order non-linear Schrödinger equation and the generalized Landau–Lifshitz equation and the Lax pair for the latter equation has also been constructed in terms of the spin field, establishing direct integrability of the spin system.     

Factorization method for Schrödinger equation in relativistic configuration space and q-deformations

Review paper is devoted to the relativistic configuration space (RCS) concept, a version of the relativistic Quantum Mechanics in RCS, the generalization of the Dirac-Infeld-Hall factorization method in the framework of the noncommutative differential calculus natural for RCS, different versions of the deformed oscillators, emerging as the generalization of the harmonic oscillator for RCS. In the formulation of the Newton-Wigner postulates for the relativistic localized states the hypothesis of commutativity of the position operator components is silently accepted as an evident fact. In the present work it is shown that commutativity is not necessary condition and the alternative (noncommutative) approach to the relativistic position operator and localization concept can be realized in a framework of the physically as well as mathematically comprehensive scheme. The different generalizations of the Dirac-Infeld-Hall factorization method for this case are constructed. This method enables us to find out all possible generalizations of the most important nonrelativistic integrable case—the harmonic oscillator. It is shown also that the relativistic oscillator = q—oscillator.     

On equations solvable by the inverse scattering method for the Schrödinger operator

The new approach to deriving nonlinear evolution equations solvable by the inverse scattering method is proposed. In particular, this approach allows one to describe all equations solvable by the inverse scattering method for the Schrödinger operator.     

Commutators of Schrödinger Hamiltonians and applications in scattering theory

We give results on the behaviour at infinity of commutators of the form [(H), f(Q)], where H is a Schrödinger operator and Q denotes the position operator in [(H),f(Q)]. These results are applied to obtain propagation properties and asymptotic completeness below the three-body threshold for N-body systems.     

Existence of solutions for Schrödinger evolution equations

We study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution of the initial value problem for the time dependent Schrödinger equationiu/t=(–1/2)u+V(t,x)u,u(0)=u ₀. We provide sufficient conditions onV(t,x) such that the equation generates a unique unitary propagatorU(t,s) and such thatU(t,s)u ₀C ¹(,L ²) C ⁰(H ²( ⁿ )) foru ₀H ²( ⁿ ). The conditions are general enough to accommodate moving singularities of type x^–2+(n4) or x^–n/2+(n3).     

The surfboard Schrödinger equations

We study the large time behavior of solutions of time dependent Schrödinger equationsiu/t=–(1/2)u+t V(x/t)u with bounded potentialV(x). We show that (1) if>–1, all solutions are asymptotically free ast, (2) if–1 a solution becomes asymptotically free if and only if it has the momentum support outside of suppV for large time, (3) if –1 <0 all solutions are still asymptotically modified free ast and that (4) if 0 <2, for each local minimumx ₀ ofV(x), there exist solutions which are asymptotically Gaussians centered atx=tx ₀ and spreading slowly ast.     

Nonlinear Schrödinger equations and sharp interpolation estimates

A sharp sufficient condition for global existence is obtained for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {(NLS)} & {2i\phi _t + \Delta \phi + \left| \phi \right|^{2\sigma } \phi = 0,} & {x \in \mathbb{R}^N } & {t \in \mathbb{R}^ + } \\ \end{array} $$ in the case σ=2/N. This condition is in terms of an exact stationary solution (nonlinear ground state) of (NLS). It is derived by solving a variational problem to obtain the “best constant” for classical interpolation estimates of Nirenberg and Gagliardo.     

Relativistic Schrödinger Theory and the Hartree–Fock Approach

Within the framework of Relativistic Schrödinger Theory (RST), the scalar two-particle systems with electromagnetic interactions are treated on the basis of a non-Abelian gauge group U(2) which is broken down to the Abelian subgroup U(1)×U(1). In order that the RST dynamics be consistent with the (non-Abelian) Maxwell equations, there arises a compatibility condition which yields cross relationships for the links between the field strengths and currents of both particles such that self-interactions are eliminated. In the non-relativistic limit, the RST dynamics becomes identical to the well-known Hartree–Fock equations (for spinless particles). Consequently the original RST field equations may be considered as the relativistic generalization of the Hartree–Fock equations, and the exchange interactions of the conventional theory (induced by the anti-symmetrization postulate) do reappear here as ordinary gauge interactions due to a broken symmetry.     

On the finite-time behaviour for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equationu _t –iu=f(u). Forf(u)=±|u|^1+p , ±i|u|^1+p , ±u|u| ^p (p>0), and the Dirichlet boundary or nonlinear boundary (including the Neumann boundary and the Robin boundary) conditions, we establish the local estimates for the timet to the solutions of the initial-boundary value problems. Being based up on these estimates, we investigate the blowing-up properties of the solutions.Research supported in part by the Youth Foundation of Sichuan Education Committee and the Natural Science Foundation of China     

Dark two-soliton solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations in inhomogeneous optical fibers

In this paper, the variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated analytically. With the bilinear method, the bilinear forms and analytic soliton solutions are obtained. Based on the obtained analytic solutions, the effect of free parameters on the control of soliton transmission is studied. Influences of second-order and third-order dispersion coefficients on dark solitons are discussed. Results in this paper would be of great significance in the generation of dark solitons.     

Šilnikov manifolds in coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We consider two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with even, periodic boundary conditions, that are damped and quasiperiodically forced. We prove the existence of invariant manifolds with Šilnikov-type dynamics that are homoclinic to a spatially independent invariant torus. Such manifolds appear to induce complex behavior in numerical experiments.
