Multifrequency NLS Scaling for a Model Equation of Gravity‐Capillary Waves

This paper is the first in a series papers devoted to the study of the rigorous derivation of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation as well as other related systems starting from a model coming from the gravity‐capillary water wave system in the long‐wave limit. Our main goal is to understand resonances and their effects on having the nonlinear Schrödinger approximation or modification of it or having other models to describe the limit equation. In this first paper, our goal is not to derive NLS but to allow the presence of an arbitrary sequence of frequencies around which we have a modulation and prove local existence on a uniform time. This yields a new class of large data for which we have a large time of existence. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

An inverse scattering problem for the Schrödinger equation in a semiclassical process

We study a direct and an inverse scattering problem for a pair of Hamiltonians (H(h),H₀(h)) on , where H₀(h)=−h²Δ and H(h)=H₀(h)+V, V is a short-range potential and h is the semiclassical parameter. First, we show that if two potentials are equal in the classical allowed region for a fixed non-trapping energy, the associated scattering matrices coincide up to O(h^∞) in . Then, for potentials with a regular behaviour at infinity, we study the inverse scattering problem. We show that in dimension n3, the knowledge of the scattering operators S(h), , up to O(h^∞) in , and which are localized near a fixed energy λ>0, determine the potential V at infinity.     

Increasing stability for the inverse problem for the Schrödinger equation

In this article, we study the increasing stability property for the determination of the potential in the Schrödinger equation from partial data. We shall assume that the inaccessible part of the boundary is flat, and homogeneous boundary condition is prescribed on this part. In contrast to earlier works, we are able to deal with the case when potentials have some Sobolev regularity and also need not be compactly supported inside the domain.     

Estimates on modulation spaces for Schrödinger evolution operators with quadratic and sub-quadratic potentials

Minimal time for the approximate bilinear control of Schrödinger equations

We consider a quantum particle in a potential V(x) subject to a time‐dependent (and spatially homogeneous) electric field E(t) (the control). Boscain, Caponigro, Chambrion, and Sigalotti proved that, under generic assumptions on V, this system is approximately controllable on the unit sphere, in sufficiently large time T. In the present article, we show that, for a large class of initial states (dense in unit sphere), approximate controllability does not hold in arbitrarily small time. This generalizes our previous result for Gaussian initial conditions. Furthermore, we prove that the minimal time can in fact be arbitrarily large.     

A note on the finite fractal dimension of the global attractors for dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equations

In this article, we present, throughout two basic models of damped nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS)–type equations, a new idea to bound from above the fractal dimension of the global attractors for NLS‐type equations. This could answer the following open issue: consider, for instance, the classical one‐dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$u_t+i{u}_{xx}+i|u{|}^{2}u+\gamma u=f,f\in {\mathrm{??}}^2(?).$$ “How can we bound the fractal dimension of the associate global attractor without the need to assume that the external forcing term f has some decay at infinity (that is belonging to some weighted Lebesgue space)?”     

The attractor of the dissipative coupled fractional Schrödinger equations

In the present paper, we consider the dissipative coupled fractional Schrödinger equations. The global well‐posedness by the contraction mapping principle is obtained. We study the long time behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem. We prove the existence of global attractor. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On a discrete‐time collocation method for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator

We consider a discrete‐time orthogonal spline collocation scheme for solving Schrödinger equation with wave operator. The scheme is proposed recently by Wang et al. (J Comput Appl Math 235 (2011), 1993–2005) and is showed to have high‐order convergence rate when a parameter θ in the scheme is not less than $\frac{1}{4}$. In this article, we show that the result can be extended to include $\theta\in(0,\frac{1}{4})$ under an assumption. Numerical example is given to justify the theoretical result. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2013     

Asymptotics for the third‐order nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the critical case

We consider the Cauchy problem for the third‐order nonlinear Schrödinger equation where and is the Fourier transform. Our purpose in this paper is to prove the large time asymptoitic behavior of solutions for the defocusing case λ > 0 with a logarithmic correction under the non zero mass condition Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal regularity for Schrödinger equations

In this paper we study the regularity theory for the Schrödinger equations under proper conditions. Furthermore, it will be verified that these conditions are optimal.     

On the Dirac delta as initial condition for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this article we will study the initial value problem for some Schrödinger equations with Dirac-like initial data and therefore with infinite L² mass, obtaining positive results for subcritical nonlinearities. In the critical case and in one dimension we prove that after some renormalization the corresponding solution has finite energy. This allows us to conclude a stability result in the defocusing setting. These problems are related to the existence of a singular dynamics for Schrödinger maps through the so-called Hasimoto transformation.     

Unimodular Fourier multipliers for modulation spaces

We investigate the boundedness of unimodular Fourier multipliers on modulation spaces. Surprisingly, the multipliers with general symbol eiα|ξ|, where α∈[0,2], are bounded on all modulation spaces, but, in general, fail to be bounded on the usual Lp-spaces. As a consequence, the phase-space concentration of the solutions to the free Schrödinger and wave equations are preserved. As a byproduct, we also obtain boundedness results on modulation spaces for singular multipliers |ξ|^−δsin(α|ξ|) for 0?δ?α.     

Analysis of finite element method for one-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation on unbounded domain

This paper addresses the theoretical analysis of a fully discrete scheme for the one-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation on unbounded domain. We first reduce the original problem into an initial-boundary value problem in a bounded domain by introducing a transparent boundary condition, then fully discretize this reduced problem by applying Crank–Nicolson scheme in time and linear or quadratic finite element approximation in space. By a rigorous analysis, this scheme has been proved to be unconditionally stable and convergent, its convergence order has also be obtained. Finally, two numerical examples are performed to show the accuracy of the scheme.     

Nodal bound state of nonlinear problems involving the fractional Laplacian

This paper is concerned with the following nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation where ε>0 is a small parameter, V(x) is a positive function, 0<s<1, and . Under some suitable conditions, we prove that for any positive integer k, one can construct a nonradial sign‐changing (nodal) solutions with exactly k maximum points and k minimum points near the local minimum point of V(x).
