We prove convergence of the reduced density matrix corresponding to the exact time evolution to the projector onto the solution of the respective Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our work extends a previous result by one of us (P.P.[44]) to interaction potentials which need not to be nonnegative, but may have a sufficiently small negative part. One key estimate in our proof is an operator inequality which was first proven by Jun Yin, see [49].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-15T13:43:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "time dependent gross-pitaevskii equation", "non purely positive potentials", "derivation", "exact time evolution", "time-dependent gross-pitaevskii equation starting" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
