A discrete Schrödinger equation via optimal transport on graphs (Q1729708)

The authors of this work introduce the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NSE) on graphs following the approach proposed by E. Nelson, who connected the Schrödinger equation with the probability density evolution generated by a random walk in the continuous case. Here, this approach is transferred to the discrete case, namely to finite graphs, where the nonlinear Laplacian on graphs is considered. In addition to the construction, some properties of the obtained system are analysed.
