An evolution equation as the WKB correction in long-time asymptotics of Schrodinger dynamics
We consider 3d Schrodinger operator with long-range potential that has
short-range radial derivative. The long-time asymptotics of non-stationary
problem is studied and existence of modified wave operators is proved. It turns
out, the standard WKB correction should be replaced by the solution to certain
evolution equation.Comment: This is a preprint of an article whose final and definitive form has

Spectral Analysis for Matrix Hamiltonian Operators
In this work, we study the spectral properties of matrix Hamiltonians
generated by linearizing the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation about soliton
solutions. By a numerically assisted proof, we show that there are no embedded
eigenvalues for the three dimensional cubic equation. Though we focus on a
proof of the 3d cubic problem, this work presents a new algorithm for verifying
certain spectral properties needed to study soliton stability. Source code for
verification of our comptuations, and for further experimentation, are
available at http://www.math.toronto.edu/simpson/files/spec_prop_code.tgz.Comment: 57 pages, 22 figures, typos fixe
