First order asymptotics for the travelling waves in Gross-Pitaevskii equation (Q2434041)

The Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GP) is a relevant model in many domains of physics, e.g. Bose-Einstein condensation, superconductivity, superfluidity, nonlinear optics etc. The author gives a derivation of the asymptotic expansion for the solution of the GP in any dimension. The first-order asymptotics at infinity is computed in the general case. The \(\Gamma\) functions which enter in many formulas come from the formula for the area of \(\mathcal{S}^{N-1}\) [\textit{G. B. Folland}, Real analysis. Modern techniques and their applications. Pure and Applied Mathematics, New York etc.: Wiley (1984; Zbl 0549.28001)]. The general asymptotic formula in theorem 2 contains the \(N\)-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau energy and the \(N\)-dimensional momentum. The proof uses Fourier transforms of tempered distributions.
