Abstract

Consider nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with small nonlinearities ddtu+i(u+V(x)u)=ϵP(u,u,x),xTd.\eqno()\frac{d}{dt}u+i(-\triangle u+V(x)u)=\epsilon \mathcal{P}(\triangle u,u,x),\quad x\in \mathbb{T}^d.\eqno{(*)} Let {ζ1(x),ζ2(x),}\{\zeta_1(x),\zeta_2(x),\dots\} be the L2L_2-basis formed by eigenfunctions of the operator +V(x)-\triangle +V(x). For any complex function u(x)u(x), write it as \mbox{u(x)=k1vkζk(x)u(x)=\sum_{k\geqslant1}v_k\zeta_k(x)} and set Ik(u)=12vk2I_k(u)=\frac{1}{2}|v_k|^2. Then for any solution u(t,x)u(t,x) of the linear equation ()ϵ=0(*)_{\epsilon=0} we have I(u(t,))=constI(u(t,\cdot))=const. In this work it is proved that if ()(*) is well posed on time-intervals tϵ1t\lesssim \epsilon^{-1} and satisfies there some mild a-priori assumptions, then for any its solution uϵ(t,x)u^{\epsilon}(t,x), the limiting behavior of the curve I(uϵ(t,))I(u^{\epsilon}(t,\cdot)) on time intervals of order ϵ1\epsilon^{-1}, as ϵ0\epsilon\to0, can be uniquely characterized by solutions of a certain well-posed effective equation.
