Abstract

We consider the initial-value problem for the cubic-quintic NLS (it+Δ)ψ=α1ψα3ψ2ψ+α5ψ4ψ (i\partial_t+\Delta)\psi=\alpha_1 \psi-\alpha_{3}\vert \psi\vert^2 \psi+\alpha_5\vert \psi\vert^4 \psi in three spatial dimensions in the class of solutions with ψ(x)c>0|\psi(x)|\to c >0 as x|x|\to\infty. Here α1\alpha_1, α3\alpha_3, α5\alpha_5 and cc are such that ψ(x)c\psi(x)\equiv c is an energetically stable equilibrium solution to this equation. Normalizing the boundary condition to ψ(x)1\psi(x)\to 1 as x|x|\to\infty, we study the associated initial-value problem for u=ψ1u=\psi-1 and prove a scattering result for small initial data in a weighted Sobolev space.
