Abstract

We perform a rigorous analysis of the anelastic approximation for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with xx-dependent chemical potential. For general initial data and periodic boundary condition, we show that as \eps0\eps\to 0, equivalently the Planck constant tends to zero, the density ψ\eps2|\psi^{\eps}|^{2} converges toward the chemical potential ρ0(x)\rho_{0}(x) and the velocity field converges to the anelastic system. When the chemical potential is a constant, the anelastic system will reduce to the incompressible Euler equations. The resonant effects the singular limit process and it can be overcome because of oscillation-cancelation.
