We consider the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation with a harmonic potential in the presence of two combined energy-subcritical power nonlinearities. We assume that the larger power is defocusing, and the smaller power is focusing. Such a…

On the contrary to the common intuition, which suggests that a steep expulsive potential makes quantum states widely delocalized, we demonstrate that one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) Schroedinger equations, which include expulsive…

We consider a model of three electrons and one hole confined in a two-dimensional (2D) plane, interacting with one another through Coulomb forces. Using a Ritz variational method we find an upper bound of \approx -0.0112me^4/8\pi^2 \epsilon…

Bound state solutions of the Schrodinger Equation for the $-a/r^2$ potential have been presented recently for both the weak and strong coupling cases. However, Shortley in 1931 and Landau and Lifshitz in 1958 claimed that no bound state…
