A method for determination of bound state energies for an asymmetric quantum well with an arbitrary shape of the bottom is suggested. It is shown that how the equation determining the energy levels can be easily derived if one knows the…
In this paper, we study the ground state solutions of the following coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger system (P) $-\Delta u_1-\tau_1 u_1 =\mu_1u_1^3+\beta u_1u_2^2$, $ -\Delta u_2-\tau_2 u_2 =\mu_2u_2^3+\beta u_1^2u_2$ in $\Omega$,…
We consider a nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a finite bands periodic potential in R . We assume the existence of an orbitally stable family of ground states. We prove that under appropriate hypotheses the ground states are…
We have discovered an unexpected and surprising fact: a 2D axially symmetric short-range potential contains {\it infinite} number of the levels of negative energy {\it if one takes into account the spin-orbit (SO) interaction.} For a…
We give upper and lower bounds for the ground-state energy of the infinite-U Hubbard model. In two dimensions, using these bounds we are able to rule out the possibility of phase separation between the undoped-insulating state and an…
We study analytically the existence and uniqueness of the ground state of the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation (NLSE) with a general power nonlinearity described by the power index $\sigma\ge0$. For the NLSE under a box or a harmonic…

A nonlinear Schroedinger model in a square well and managed nonlinearity is shown to possess nonlinear states as continuous extensions of the linear levels. The solutions are remarkably stable up to a threshold amplitude where a soliton is…
This article is a review of results on the nonlinear Schroedinger / Gross-Pitaevskii equation (NLS / GP). Nonlinear bound states and aspects of their stability theory are discussed from variational and bifurcation perspectives. Nonlinear…
The excited states of a charged particle interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field and an external potential all decay, but such a particle should have a true ground state--one that minimizes the energy and satisfies the…
We determine approximate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions shapes for bound states in the $3D$ shallow spherical ultrarelativistic well. Existence thresholds for the ground state and first excited states are identified, both in the purely…
We give two-sided estimates of a ground state for Schr\"odinger operators with confining potentials. We propose a semigroup approach, based on resolvent and the Feynman--Kac formula, which leads to a new, rather short and direct proof. Our…
By considering the Higgs mechanism in the framework of a parity-preserving Planar Quantum Electrodynamics, one shows that an attractive electron-electron interaction may come out. The e-e interaction potential emerges as the…
We consider a non-relativistic electron bound by an external potential and coupled to the quantized electromagnetic field in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. We compute the energy functional of product states of the form…
We consider a Schr\"odinger particle on a graph consisting of $\,N\,$ links joined at a single point. Each link supports a real locally integrable potential $\,V_j\,$; the self--adjointness is ensured by the $\,\delta\,$ type boundary…
We solve the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation for the bound states of two potential models with a rich structure as shown by their "spectral phase diagram". These potentials do not belong to the well-known class of exactly solvable…

A classic no-go theorem in one-dimensional quantum mechanics can be evaded when the potentials are unbounded below, thus allowing for novel parity-paired degenerate energy bound states. We numerically determine the spectrum of one such…
