Abstract

In this paper we consider the nonlinear Hartree equation in presence of a given external potential, for an initial coherent state. Under suitable smoothness assumptions, we approximate the solution in terms of a time dependent coherent state, whose phase and amplitude can be determined by a classical flow. The error can be estimated in L2L^2 by C\varC \sqrt {\var}, \var\var being the Planck constant. Finally we present a full formal asymptotic expansion.
