On the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for trapped dipolar quantum gases

Mathematical Physics 2009-11-13 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We study the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing Bose-Einstein condensation of trapped dipolar quantum gases. Existence and uniqueness as well as the possible blow-up of solutions are studied. Moreover, we discuss the problem of dimension-reduction for this nonlinear and nonlocal Schrodinger equation.
