Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the nonrelativistic limit of the following pseudo-relativistic equation with Hartree nonlinearity or power type nonlinearity (2c2Δ+m2c4mc2)u+μu=N(u), \left(\sqrt{-\hbar^2c^2 \Delta +m^2c^4} - mc^2 \right) u + \mu u = \mathcal{N}(u), where cc denotes the speed of light. We prove that the ground states of this equation converges to the ground state of its nonrelativistic counterpart 22mΔu+μu=N(u) -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\Delta u + \mu u = \mathcal{N}(u) with an explicit convergence rate 1/c21/c^2 in arbitrary order as cc \to \infty. Moreover, we show that this rate is optimal.
