Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS : "dispersive") and Nonlinear Wave equations (NLW : "hyperbolic") are fundamental classes of Partial Differential Equations (PDE), with many important applications. To deal with them jointly (in the spirit of e.g. Terry Tao’s book) reveals an interesting mutual crossover of ideas between these 2 different types of PDEs.

In this lecture we deal with two aspects of "Applied Mathematics”, Modeling and Analysis, based on lecture notes that are handed out to students.

1) Modeling: motivation / derivation of NLS :
a) quantum physics, where “one particle” NLS occur as approximate models for the linear N-body Schrödinger equation.
Quantum HydroDynamics.
b) nonlinear optics, where the paraxial approximation of the Helmholtz (wave) equation yields 2+1 dimensional cubic NLS

2) Analysis:
Existence and Uniqueness (“Local/Global WellPosedness) of NLS and NLW
with local and non-local nonlinearities, scattering, finite(-time) Blow-up; asymptotic results e.g. for the (semi-)classical limit of NLS.

3) numerics : we give a Brief Outlook to numerical methods for NLS - a follow up course "Computational Schrödinger equations" will present full Details.

Methods:
functional analysis, semigroup theory, Sobolev embeddings, Strichartz estimates, energy estimates, linear PDE theory, …

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Oral exam (presence on the blackboard or distance) where the presentation of exercises enters the grade.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The presentation is self-contained based on material
distributed to the students.
Basic knowledge of functional analysis, PDEs and physics is helpful.

Prüfungsstoff

The exam is an opportunity to prove the understanding of basic
concepts, own lecture notes etc can be used during the exam.
