On multi-lump solutions to the non-linear Schrodinger equation
Robert Magnus
Abstract:
We present a new approach to proving the existence of semi-classical bound
states of the non-linear Schrodinger equation which are concentrated near
a finite set of non-degenerate critical points of the potential function.
The method is based on considering a system of non-linear elliptic equations.
The positivity of the solutions is considered. It is shown how the same method
yields ``multi-bump'' solutions ``homoclinic'' to an equilibrium point for
non-autonomous Hamiltonian equations. The method provides a calculable
asymptotic form for the solutions in terms of a small parameter.
