On nonlinear effects in multiphase WKB analysis for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation
Résumé
We consider the Schrodinger equation with an external potential
and a cubic nonlinearity, in the semiclassical limit. The initial
data are sums of WKB states, with smooth phases and smooth, compactly
supported initial amplitudes, with disjoint supports. We show that
like in the linear case, a superposition principle holds on some time
interval independent of the semiclassical parameter, in several
regimes in term of the size of initial data with respect to the semiclassical parameter.
For large data, we invoke properties of compressible Euler
equations. For smaller data, we show that there may be no
nonlinear interferences on some time interval independent of the
semiclassical parameter, and interferences for later time, thanks to
explicit computations available for particular phases.
