From nonlinear Schrödinger equation to interacting particle system (Q6942673)

This paper deals with the limiting behavior of solutions to the following nonlinear Schrödinger equations\N\[\N-\varepsilon^2 \Delta u + u =u^p,\,\,u>0,\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^n,\N\]\Nas \(\varepsilon \to 0\), where \(p\) is Sobolev subcritical. Under the assumption that the solutions have infinitely many peaks, the paper derives the interaction form between the limiting peak points. The main argument consists of two parts: first describing the main order term of the solutions \(u_\varepsilon\) and providing a very precise estimate on the error by the reverse Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method, and second extracting information from the reduction equation in a limiting way.
