Global behavior of solutions to generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Abstract

This paper is concerned with time global behavior of solutions to nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a non-vanishing condition at the spatial infinity. Under a non-vanishing condition, it would be expected that the behavior is determined by the shape of the nonlinear term around the non-vanishing state. To observe this phenomenon, we introduce a generalized version of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which is a typical equation involving a non-vanishing condition, by modifying the shape of nonlinearity around the non-vanishing state. It turns out that, if the nonlinearity decays fast as a solution approaches to the non-vanishing state, then the equation admits a global solution which scatters to the non-vanishing element for both time directions.
