In this paper, classical small perturbations against a stationary solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with the general form of nonlinearity are examined. It is shown that in order to obtain correct (in particular, conserved over time) nonzero expressions for the basic integrals of motion of a perturbation even in the quadratic order in the expansion parameter, it is necessary to consider nonlinear equations of motion for the perturbations. It is also shown that, despite the nonlinearity of the perturbations, the additivity property is valid for the integrals of motion of different nonlinear modes forming the perturbation (at least up to the second order in the expansion parameter).
We prove spatiotemporal algebraically decaying estimates for the density of the solutions of the linearly damped nonlinear Schrodinger equation with localized driving, when supplemented with vanishing boundary conditions. Their derivation is made via a scheme, which incorporates suitable weighted Sobolev spaces and a time-weighted energy method. Numerical simulations examining the dynamics (in the presence of physically relevant examples of driver types and driving amplitude/linear loss regimes), showcase that the suggested decaying rates, are proved relevant in describing the transient dynamics of the solutions, prior their decay: they support the emergence of waveforms possessing an algebraic space-time localization (reminiscent of the Peregrine soliton) as first events of the dynamics, but also effectively capture the space-time asymptotics of the numerical solutions.
I begin by reviewing the arguments leading to a nonlinear generalisation of Schrodingers equation within the context of the maximum uncertainty principle. Some exact and perturbative properties of that equation are then summarised: those results depend on a free regulating/interpolation parameter $eta$. I discuss here how one may fix that parameter using energetics. Other issues discussed are, a linear theory with an external potential that reproduces some unusual exact solutions of the nonlinear equation, and possible symmetry enhancements in the nonlinear theory.
We consider a system of $N$ bosons interacting through a singular two-body potential scaling with $N$ and having the form $N^{3beta-1} V (N^beta x)$, for an arbitrary parameter $beta in (0,1)$. We provide a norm-approximation for the many-body evolution of initial data exhibiting Bose-Einstein condensation in terms of a cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation for the condensate wave function and of a unitary Fock space evolution with a generator quadratic in creation and annihilation operators for the fluctuations.
We solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation describing the emission of electrons from a metal surface by an external electric field $E$, turned on at $t=0$. Starting with a wave function $psi(x,0)$, representing a generalized eigenfunction when $E=0$, we find $psi(x,t)$ and show that it approaches, as $ttoinfty$, the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling wavefunction $psi_E$. The deviation of $psi$ from $psi_E$ decays asymptotically as a power law $t^{-frac32}$. The time scales involved for typical metals and fields of several V/nm are of the order of femtoseconds.
The dynamics of small perturbations against the stationary density matrix of a pumped polariton system with only one photon polarization is studied. Depending on the way the system is pumped and probed, decay times ranging from 30 to 5000 ps are found. The large decay times under resonant pumping are related to a bottleneck effect in the decay of the excess (probe) populations of dark polariton states. No singular behaviour at the threshold for polariton lasing is observed.
