Transverse instability for nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a linear potential

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we consider the transverse instability for a nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with a linear potential on mathbbRimesmathbbTL, where 2piL is the period of the torus mathbbTL. Rose and Weinstein showed the existence of a stable standing wave for a nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with a linear potential. We regard the standing wave of nonlinear Schr"odinger equation on mathbbR as a line standing wave of nonlinear Schr"odinger equation on mathbbRimesmathbbTL. We show the stability of line standing waves for all L>0.


In this paper, using the smallness of the line standing wave of the equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINEi\partial_t u=-\Delta u+V(x)u-|u|^{p-1}u, \quad(t,x,y)\in \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}_LNEWLINE\]NEWLINE and the expansion of the standing wave with respect to the parameter \(\omega\), the author weakens the nonlinear structure of the Lyapunov functional around the line standing wave of the equation. Therefore, they can evaluate a value of the integral and make a close investigation into the stability for all exponents \(p\geq 2\), i.e., for all \(L>0\).
