Asymptotic stability in the energy space for dark solitons of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

We pursue our work on the dynamical stability of dark solitons for the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In this paper, we prove their asymptotic stability under small perturbations in the energy space. In particular, our results do not require smallness in some weighted spaces or a priori spectral assumptions. Our strategy is reminiscent of the one used by Martel and Merle in various works regarding generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations. The important feature of our contribution is related to the fact that while Korteweg-de Vries equations possess unidirectional dispersion, Schrödinger equations do not.

Stability in the energy space for chains of solitons of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation

We establish the stability in the energy space for sums of solitons of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation when their speeds are mutually distinct and distinct from zero, and when the solitons are initially well-separated and spatially ordered according to their speeds.

Existence and properties of travelling waves for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

This paper presents recent results concerning the existence and qualitative properties of travelling wave solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation posed on the whole space R^N. Unlike the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations with null condition at infinity, the presence of non-zero conditions at infinity yields a rather rich and delicate dynamics. We focus on the case N = 2 and N = 3, and also briefly review some classical results on the one-dimensional case. The works we survey provide rigorous justifications to the impressive series of results which Jones, Putterman and Roberts established by formal and numerical arguments.

Orbital stability of the black soliton to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

We establish the orbital stability of the black soliton, or kink solution, $\v_0(x) = þ\big(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} \big)$, to the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, with respect to perturbations in the energy space.

On the KP I transonic limit of two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii travelling waves

We provide a rigorous mathematical derivation of the convergence in the long-wave transonic limit of the minimizing travelling waves for the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation towards ground states for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KP I).
