Abstract: The paper deals with standing wave solutions of the dimensionless nonlinear Schr"odinger equation label{eq:abs1} iPhi_t(x,t) = -Delta_xPhi +V_la(x)Phi + f(x,Phi), quad xinR^N, tinR, ag{$NL{S}_{l}a$} where the potential $V_{l}a:R^{N}oR$ is close to an infinite well potential $V_{i}nfty:R^{N}oR$, i. e. $V_{i}nfty=infty$ on an exterior domain $R^{N}setminusOm$, $V_{i}nfty{|}_{O}min{L}^{i}nfty(Om)$, and $V_{l}ao{V}_{i}nfty$ as $laoinfty$ in a sense to be made precise. The nonlinearity may be of Gross-Pitaevskii type. A solution of eqref{eq:abs1} with $la=infty$ vanishes on $R^{N}setminusOm$ and satisfies Dirichlet boundary conditions, hence it solves label{eq:abs2} iPhi_t(x,t) &= -Delta_xPhi +V_la(x)Phi + f(x,Phi), &&quad xinOm, tinR Phi(x,t) &= 0 &&quad xinpaOm, tinR. ag{$NL{S}_{i}nfty$}. We investigate when a solution $Ph{i}_{i}nfty$ of the infinite well potential eqref{eq:abs2} gives rise to nearby solutions $Ph{i}_{l}a$ of the finite well potential eqref{eq:abs1} with $lagg1$ large. Considering eqref{eq:abs2} as a singular limit of eqref{eq:abs1} we prove a kind of singular continuation type results.
