A Resonance Problem in Relaxation of Ground States of Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations

Abstract

In this paper we consider a resonance problem, in a generic regime, in the consideration of relaxation of ground states of semilinear Schrodinger equations. Different from previous results, our consideration includes the presence of resonance, resulted by overlaps of frequencies of different states. All the known key results, proved under non-resonance conditions, have been recovered uniformly. These are achieved by better understandings of normal form transformation and Fermi Golden rule. Especially, we find that if certain denominators are zeros (or small), resulted by the presence of resonances (or close to it), then cancellations between terms make the corresponding numerators proportionally small.
