Unlike the defocusing nonlinear Schr\\\"odinger equations with null condition at infinity, the presence of non-zero conditions at infinity yields a rather rich and delicate dynamics. We focus on the case N = 2 and N = 3, and also briefly review some classical results on the one-dimensional case. The works we survey provide rigorous justifications to the impressive series of results which Jones, Putterman and Roberts established by formal and numerical arguments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-02-22T16:55:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q40", "35Q53", "35Q55", "35A05", "35B40" ], "keywords": [ "gross-pitaevskii equation", "properties", "one-dimensional case", "travelling wave solutions", "infinity yields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.3804B" } } }
