We consider the semi-classical limit of nonlinear Schrodinger equations in the presence of both a polynomial nonlinearity and thederivative in space of a polynomial nonlinearity. By working in a class of analytic initial data, we do not…

The exactly solvable Schr\"{o}dinger equations with the conventional shape-invariant potentials are known to be related with each other through point cannonical transformations. In this paper, we extend the idea to integral formulae called…
Let $\mathbf{a}$ be a quadratic form associated with a Schr\"odinger operator $L=-\nabla\cdot(A\nabla)+V$ on a domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. If $\mathbf{a}$ is nonnegative on $C_0^{\infty}(\Omega)$, then either there is $W>0$ such…

We justify the WKB analysis for the semiclassical nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a subquadratic potential. This concerns subcritical, critical, and supercritical cases as far as the geometrical optics method is concerned. In the…
