A note on the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in a general domain

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in a general domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. Construction of solutions has been only done by classical compactness method in previous results. Here, we construct solutions by a simple alternative approach. More precisely, solutions are constructed by proving that approximate solutions form a Cauchy sequence in some Banach space. We discuss three different types of nonlinearities: power type nonlinearities, logarithmic nonlinearities and damping nonlinearities.
