Abstract

We construct stationary statistical solutions of a deterministic unforced nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, by perturbing it by a linear damping γu\gamma u and a stochastic force whose intensity is proportional to γ\sqrt \gamma, and then letting γ0+\gamma\to 0^+. We prove indeed that the family of stationary solutions {Uγ}γ>0\{U_\gamma\}_{\gamma>0} of the perturbed equation possesses an accumulation point for any vanishing sequence γj0+\gamma_j\to 0^+ and this stationary limit solves the deterministic unforced nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation and is not the trivial zero solution. This technique has been introduced in [KS04], using a different dissipation. However considering a linear damping of zero order and weaker solutions we can deal with larger ranges of the nonlinearity and of the spatial dimension; moreover we consider the focusing equation and the defocusing equation as well.
