We assume the pair interaction potential is N^{3{\\beta}-1}V(N^{{\\beta}}x). We justify the mean-field approximation and offer a rigorous derivation of the 3D cubic NLS with a quadratic trap. We establish the space-time bound conjectured by Klainerman and Machedon [30] for {\\beta} in (0,2/7] by adapting and simplifying an argument in Chen and Pavlovi\\'c [7] which solves the problem for {\\beta} in (0,1/4) in the absence of a trap.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-04-23T16:25:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q55", "35A02", "81V70", "35A23", "35B45", "81Q05" ], "keywords": [ "3d cubic nonlinear schrödinger equation", "quadratic trap", "rigorous derivation", "3d cubic nls", "pair interaction potential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis", "year": 2013, "month": "Nov", "volume": 210, "number": 2, "pages": 365 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013ArRMA.210..365C" } } }
