Long-time behavior for evolution processes associated with non-autonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

We consider non-autonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded smooth domain and time-dependent forcing that models the motion of waves in a quantum-mechanical system. We address the problem of the local and global well posedness and using rescaling of time we prove the existence of a compact pullback attractor for the associated evolution process. Moreover, we prove that the pullback attractor has finite fractal dimension. To the best of our knowledge, our approach has not been used in the literature to treat the non-autonomous Schrödinger equation.
