Asymptotic dynamics of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with many bound states. (Q1399891): Difference between revisions

The author considers a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a smooth localized real potential \(V\), \(i\partial_t\psi=(-\Delta+V)\psi+\lambda | \psi| ^2\psi\), where \(-\Delta+V\) is assumed to have three or more bound states. It is shown, under certain conditions on the initial data, that the solution will converge locally to a nonlinear ground state. This extends the author's previous work with \textit{H.-T. Yau} [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 55, 153--216 (2002; Zbl 1031.35137), Int. Math. Res. Notes 31, 1629--1673 (2002; Zbl 1011.35120)].
