For the NLSE under a box or a harmonic potential, we can derive explicitly the approximations of the ground states and their corresponding energy and chemical potential in weak or strong interaction regimes with a fixed nonlinearity $\\sigma$. Besides, we study the case where the nonlinearity $\\sigma\\to\\infty$ with a fixed interaction strength. In particular, a bifurcation in the ground states is observed. Numerical results in 1D and 2D will be reported to support our asymptotic results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-03-02T07:21:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B40", "35P30", "35Q55", "65N25" ], "keywords": [ "ground state", "nonlinear schrödinger equation", "energy asymptotics", "general power nonlinearity", "strong interaction regimes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
