Wkb Analysis for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Potential

چکیده
We justify the WKB analysis for the semiclassical nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a subquadratic potential. This concerns subcritical, critical, and supercritical cases as far as the geometrical optics method is concerned. In the supercritical case, this extends a previous result by E. Grenier; we also have to restrict to nonlinearities which are defocusing and cubic at the origin, but besides subquadratic potentials, we consider initial phases which may be unbounded. For this, we construct solutions for some compressible Euler equations with unbounded source term and unbounded initial velocity.

WKB Approximation of the Nonlinear Schrödinger-Newton Equations
In this paper we present a WKB approximation for sphericallysymmetric solutions of the Schrödinger-Newton equations. These are nonlinear modifications of the ordinary Schrödinger equation involving gravitational selfinteraction of the wavefunction. Applying the WKB procedure leads to two different nonlinear differential equations for the gravitational potential U for positive and negative value...
متن کاملDeterminant form of modulation equations for the semiclassical focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger equation
We derive a determinant formula for the WKB exponential of singularly perturbed Zakharov-Shabat system that corresponds to the semiclassical (zero dispersion) limit of the focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The derivation is based on the RiemannHilbert Problem (RHP) representation of the WKB exponential. We also prove its independence of the branchpoints of the corresponding hyperelliptic...
متن کاملInstability for Semi-classical Schrödinger Equations
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 ...
متن کاملSemiclassical Limit of the Nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson Equation with Subcritical Initial Data
We study the semi-classical limit of the nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson (NLSP) equation for initial data of the WKB type. The semi-classical limit in this case is realized in terms of a density-velocity pair governed by the Euler-Poisson equations. Recently we have shown in [ELT, Indiana Univ. Math. J., 50 (2001), 109–157], that the isotropic Euler-Poisson equations admit a critical threshold ph...
متن کاملMultiphase semiclassical approximation of an electron in a one-dimensional crystalline lattice ⋆ III. From ab-initio models to WKB for Schrödinger-Poisson
This work is concerned with the semiclassical approximation of the SchrödingerPoisson equation modeling ballistic transport in a 1D periodic potential by means of WKB techniques. It is derived by considering the mean-field limit of a N -body quantum problem, then K-multivalued solutions are adapted to the treatment of this weakly nonlinear system obtained after homogenization without taking int...
