We consider an open bounded set Ω ⊂ Rn and a family {K(t)}t≥0 of orthogonal matrices of Rn. Set Ωt = {x ∈Rn; x = K(t)y, for all y ∈Ω}, whose boundary is Γt. We denote by ̂ Q the noncylindrical domain given by ̂ Q =⋃0<t<T{Ωt ×{t}}, with the regular lateral boundary ̂ ∑ = ⋃0<t<T{Γt × {t}}. In this paper we investigate the boundary exact controllability for the linear Schrödinger equation u′ − iΔu= f...

The three bilinearities uv, uv, uv for functions u, v : R2×[0, T ] 7−→ C are sharply estimated in function spaces Xs,b associated to the Schrödinger operator i∂t+∆. These bilinear estimates imply local wellposedness results for Schrödinger equations with quadratic nonlinearity. Improved bounds on the growth of spatial Sobolev norms of finite energy global-in-time and blow-up solutions of the cu...

Some properties of the fractional Schrödinger equation are studied. We prove the Hermiticity of the fractional Hamilton operator and establish the parity conservation law for fractional quantum mechanics. As physical applications of the fractional Schrödinger equation we find the energy spectra of a hydrogenlike atom (fractional "Bohr atom") and of a fractional oscillator in the semiclassical a...

Using a Fourier spectral method, we provide a detailed numerical investigation of dispersive Schrödinger-type equations involving a fractional Laplacian in an one-dimensional case. By an appropriate choice of the dispersive exponent, both mass and energy sub- and supercritical regimes can be identified. This allows us to study the possibility of finite time blow-up versus global existence, the ...

A Lyapunov-based approach for trajectory tracking of the Schrödinger equation is proposed. In the finite dimensional case, convergence is precisely analyzed. Connection between the controllability of the linear tangent approximation around the reference trajectory and asymptotic tracking is studied. When the linear tangent approximation is controllable, such a feedback ensures almost global asy...

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 besi...

We use multiscale perturbation theory in conjunction with the inverse scattering transform to study the interaction of a number of solitons of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation under the influence of a small correction to the nonlinear potential. We assume that the solitons are all moving with the same velocity at the initial instant; this maximizes the effect each soliton has on the oth...

Radially symmetric solutions of many important systems of partial differential equations can be reduced to systems of special ordinary differential equations. A numerical solver for initial value problems for such systems is developed based on Matlab, and numerical bifurcation diagrams are obtained according to the behavior of the solutions. Various bifurcation diagrams of coupled Schrödinger e...

A local time-splitting method (LTSM) is developed to design absorbing boundary conditions for numerical solutions of time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equations associated with open boundaries. These boundary conditions are significant for numerical simulations of propagations of nonlinear waves in physical applications, such as nonlinear fiber optics and Bose-Einstein condensations.
