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.     

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.     

A remark on linearly unstable standing wave solutions to NLS

We obtain an optimal growth estimate of a semigroup generated by a linearized operator around a standing wave solution nonlinear Schrödinger equations in two-dimension. Using the growth estimate of the semigroup, we prove that a linearly unstable standing wave solution is orbitally unstable and that instability of the standing wave solution is mainly caused by a mode of an eigenfunction associated with the rightmost (or the leftmost) eigenvalues of the linearized operator. Our result is obtained by using the method of Yajima and Cuccagna that proved L^p$L^p$-boundedness of the wave operator.     

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

A priori bounds and weak solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in Sobolev spaces of negative order

Solutions to the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the real line are studied in Sobolev spaces Hs, for s negative but close to 0. For smooth solutions there is an a priori upper bound for the Hs norm of the solution, in terms of the Hs norm of the datum, for arbitrarily large data, for sufficiently short time. Weak solutions are constructed for arbitrary initial data in Hs.

Stability of small periodic waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation possesses three distinct six-parameter families of complex-valued quasiperiodic traveling waves, one in the defocusing case and two in the focusing case. All these solutions have the property that their modulus is a periodic function of x−ct for some c∈R. In this paper we investigate the stability of the small amplitude traveling waves, both in the defocusing and the focusing case. Our first result shows that these waves are orbitally stable within the class of solutions which have the same period and the same Floquet exponent as the original wave. Next, we consider general bounded perturbations and focus on spectral stability. We show that the small amplitude traveling waves are stable in the defocusing case, but unstable in the focusing case. The instability is of side-band type, and therefore cannot be detected in the periodic set-up used for the analysis of orbital stability.     

Asymptotics of odd solutions for cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the Cauchy problem for a cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the case of an odd initial data from H²∩H0,2. We prove the global existence in time of solutions to the Cauchy problem and construct the modified asymptotics for large values of time.     

A nonlinear superposition principle and multibump solutions of periodic Schrödinger equations

In an abstract setting we prove a nonlinear superposition principle for zeros of equivariant vector fields that are asymptotically additive in a well-defined sense. This result is used to obtain multibump solutions for two basic types of periodic stationary Schrödinger equations with superlinear nonlinearity. The nonlinear term may be of convolution type. If the superquadratic term in the energy functional is convex, our results also apply in certain cases if 0 is in a gap of the spectrum of the Schrödinger operator.

Structure of Regular Solutions of the Three-Body Schrödinger Equation near the Pair Impact Point

We investigate the six-dimensional Schrödinger equation for a three-body system with central pair interactions of a more general form than Coulomb interactions. Regular general and special physical solutions of this equation are represented by infinite asymptotic series in integer powers of the distance between two particles and in the sought functions of the other three-body coordinates. Constructing such functions in angular bases composed of spherical and bispherical harmonics or symmetrized Wigner D-functions is reduced to solving simple recursive algebraic equations. For projections of physical solutions on the angular bases functions, we derive boundary conditions at the pair impact point.     

Symbolic computation on the Darboux transformation for a generalized variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation from fiber optics

Considering the propagation of ultrashort pulse in the realistic fiber optics, a generalized variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated in this paper. Under certain constraints, a new 3×3 Lax pair for this equation is obtained through the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur procedure. Furthermore, with symbolic computation, the Darboux transformation and nth-iterated potential transformation formula for such a model are explicitly derived. The corresponding features of ultrashort pulse in inhomogeneous optical fibers are graphically discussed by the one- and two-soliton-like solutions.
