The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) arises in various areas in physics. As an important example we mention nonlinear optics where the NLS approximatively describes evelope functions of wave packets. The NLS has attracted a lot of interest in mathematics in recent years and it has been treated using a great variety of methods. In this lecture we give an introduction to the analysis of the (non-stationary) NLS. We want to treat the following topics:
- Heuristics and derivation
- Linear theory and Strichartz estimates
- Local wellposedness
- Global wellposedness
- Stability of standing waves
Prerequistes are (the contents of) the lectures functional analysis and spectral theory.
