On the asymptotic stability of localized modes in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Q450768)

The authors consider a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with bounded trapping potential and onsite power nonlinearity with exponent \(2p\). It was shown by \textit{A. Stefanov} and \textit{P. G. Kevrekidis} [Nonlinearity 18, No. 4, 1841--1857 (2005; Zbl 1181.35266)] using Strichartz estimates, that localized stationary solutions are asymptotically stable for \(p\geq 3\). Based on this and improved pointwise dispersive estimates by \textit{A. Mielke} and \textit{C. Patz} [Appl. Anal. 89, No. 9, 1493--1512 (2010; Zbl 1200.37071)], the authors push this bound to \(p\geq 11/4\).
