TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear semi-classical Schrodinger equation for which quadratic oscillations lead to focusing at one point, described by nonlinear scattering operator, is considered.
Abstract: We consider a nonlinear semi-classical Schrodinger equation for which quadratic oscillations lead to focusing at one point, described by a nonlinear scattering operator. The relevance of the nonlinearity was discussed by R. Carles, C. Fermanian-Kammerer and I. Gallagher for $L^2$-supercritical power-like nonlinearities and more general initial data. The present results concern the $L^2$-critical case, in space dimensions 1 and 2; we describe the set of non-linearizable data, which is larger, due to the conformal invariance. As an application, we precise a result by F. Merle and L. Vega concerning finite time blow up for the critical Schrodinger equation. The proof relies on linear and nonlinear profile decompositions.

TL;DR: In this article, a global well-posedness result for defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equations with time dependent potentials was proved, motivated by physics and appeared also as a preparation for the analysis of the propagation of wave packets in a nonlinear context.
Abstract: We prove a global well-posedness result for defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equations with time dependent potential. We then focus on time dependent harmonic potentials. This aspect is motivated by Physics (Bose--Einstein condensation), and appears also as a preparation for the analysis of the propagation of wave packets in a nonlinear context. The main aspect considered here is the growth of high Sobolev norms of the solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing Bose-Einstein condensation of trapped dipolar quantum gases and discussed the problem of dimension reduction for this nonlinear and nonlocal Schrodinger equation.
Abstract: We study the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation describing Bose–Einstein condensation of trapped dipolar quantum gases. Existence and uniqueness as well as the possible blow-up of solutions are studied. Moreover, we discuss the problem of dimension reduction for this nonlinear and nonlocal Schrodinger equation.

TL;DR: Thanks to quadratic potentials, this work provides a method to anticipate, delay, or prevent wave collapse; this mechanism is explicit for critical nonlinearity.
Abstract: We study the Cauchy problem for Schrodinger equations with repulsive quadratic potential and power-like nonlinearity. The local problem is well-posed in the same space as that used when a confining harmonic potential is involved. For a defocusing nonlinearity, it is globally well-posed, and a scattering theory is available, with no long range effect for any superlinear nonlinearity. When the nonlinearity is focusing, we prove that choosing the harmonic potential sufficiently strong prevents blow-up in finite time. Thanks to quadratic potentials, we provide a method to anticipate, delay, or prevent wave collapse; this mechanism is explicit for critical nonlinearity.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: The variable-order Adams method (SIVA/DIVA) package as discussed by the authors is a collection of subroutines for solution of non-stiff ODEs.
Abstract: Initial-value ordinary differential equation solution via variable order Adams method (SIVA/DIVA) package is collection of subroutines for solution of nonstiff ordinary differential equations. There are versions for single-precision and double-precision arithmetic. Requires fewer evaluations of derivatives than other variable-order Adams predictor/ corrector methods. Option for direct integration of second-order equations makes integration of trajectory problems significantly more efficient. Written in FORTRAN 77.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors mainly review recent results on mathematical theory and numerical methods for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE).
Abstract: In this paper, we mainly review recent results on mathematical theory and numerical methods for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). Starting from the simplest case with one-component BEC of the weakly interacting bosons, we study the reduction of GPE to lower dimensions, the ground states of BEC including the existence and uniqueness as well as nonexistence results, and the dynamics of GPE including dynamical laws, well-posedness of the Cauchy problem as well as the finite time blow-up. To compute the ground state, the gradient flow with discrete normalization (or imaginary time) method is reviewed and various full discretization methods are presented and compared. To simulate the dynamics, both finite difference methods and time splitting spectral methods are reviewed, and their error estimates are briefly outlined. When the GPE has symmetric properties, we show how to simplify the numerical methods. Then we compare two widely used scalings, i.e. physical scaling (commonly used) and semiclassical scaling, for BEC in strong repulsive interaction regime (Thomas-Fermi regime), and discuss semiclassical limits of the GPE. Extensions of these results for one-component BEC are then carried out for rotating BEC by GPE with an angular momentum rotation, dipolar BEC by GPE with long range dipole-dipole interaction, and two-component BEC by coupled GPEs. Finally, as a perspective, we show briefly the mathematical models for spin-1 BEC, Bogoliubov excitation and BEC at finite temperature.
