چکیده

For the semi-classical limit of the cubic, defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an external potential, we explain the notion of criticality before a caustic is formed. In the sub-critical and critical cases, we justify the WKB approximation. In the super-critical case, the WKB analysis provides a new phenomenon for the (classical) cubic, defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which can be compared to the loss of regularity established for the nonlinear wave equation by G. Lebeau. We also show some instabilities at the semi-classical level.

Using WKB methods for very small times, we prove some instability phenomena for semi-classical (linear or) nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Like in several recent papers concerned with instability or ill-posedness issues, the main step of the analysis consists in reducing the problem to an ordinary differential equation. The solution to this o.d.e. is explicit, and the instability mechanism is ...

The main step of the analysis consists in reducing the problem to an ordinary differential equation. The solution to this o.d.e. is explicit, and the instability mechanism is due to the presence of the semi-classical parameter. For nonlin-ear equations, our...

Stability of Solitary Waves for a Generalized Derivative Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

We consider a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a general nonlinearity. This equation has a two parameter family of solitary wave solutions. We prove orbital stability/instability results that depend on the strength of the nonlinearity and, in some instances, their velocity. We illustrate these results with numerical simulations.
