The point-like limit for a NLS equation with concentrated nonlinearity in dimension three (Q2361335)

In this paper the authors consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a nonlinearity concentrated at a single point in dimension three: \[ i\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\psi\left( t\right) =H_{\mu,\gamma}\psi\left(t\right) ,\quad\psi\left( 0\right) =\psi_{0}\in\mathcal{D}\tag{1} \] where \(H_{\mu,\gamma}\), \(\gamma\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(\mu\geq0\), is the nonlinear operator with the domain \[ \mathcal{D=}\left\{ \left. \psi\in L^{2}\left( \mathbb{R}^{3}\right) \right| \psi=\phi+qG;\phi\in\dot{H}^{2}\left( \mathbb{R}^{3}\right) ,q\in\mathbb{C};\phi\left( 0\right) =\gamma\left| q\right| ^{2\mu }q\right\} , \] where \(G\left( x\right) =\frac{1}{4\pi\left| x\right| }\) and the action given by \(H_{\mu,\gamma}\psi=-\Delta\phi\). The aim of the paper is to prove that problem (1) can be obtained from a scaling limit of the regularized NLS equation \[ i\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\psi^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) =-\Delta \psi^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) +g\left( \varepsilon,\mu,\left| \left( \rho^{\varepsilon},\psi^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) \right) \right| ^{2\mu}\right) \left( \rho^{\varepsilon}, \psi^{\varepsilon }\left( t\right) \right) \rho^{\varepsilon},\text{ }\psi^{\varepsilon }\left( 0\right) =\psi_{0}^{\varepsilon},\tag{2} \] where \(\rho_{\varepsilon}\rightarrow\delta_{0}\) weakly and the function \(g\) is constructed in such a way that a limit dynamics exists when \(\rho_{\varepsilon}\rightarrow\delta_{0}\). The authors prove that the solution \(\psi^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) \) to (2) with initial data \ \(\psi_{0}^{\varepsilon}=\phi_{0}+q_{0}\rho^{\varepsilon}\ast G\in H^{2}\left( \mathbb{R}^{3}\right) \) tends to the solution \(\psi\left(t\right) \) to (1) with \(\psi_{0}=\phi_{0}+q_{0}G\in\mathcal{D}\). More precisely, for a fix \(T>0\), \(\sup_{t\in[0,T]}\left\| \psi^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) -\psi\left( t\right) \right\| _{L^{2}\left( \mathbb{R}^{3}\right) }\leq C\varepsilon^{\delta}\), \(C>0\) and \(0\leq\delta<1/4\). To prove this result the authors write the problems (1) and (2) in the integral form and study the correspondent integral equations for the charge \(q\) and the approximated charge \(q^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) =\varepsilon\frac{\left( \rho^{\varepsilon },\psi^{\varepsilon}\left( t\right) \right) }{\left( \rho,\left(-\Delta\right) ^{-1}\rho\right) }\).
