Abstract

We analyse a nonlinear Schrodinger equation for the time-evolution of the wave function of an electron beam, interacting selfconsistently through a Hartree–Fock nonlinearity and through the repulsive Coulomb interaction of an atomic nucleus. The electrons are supposed to move under the action of a time dependent, rapidly periodically oscillating electromagnetic potential. This can be considered a simplified effective single particle model for an X-ray free electron laser. We prove the existence and uniqueness for the Cauchy problem and the convergence of wave-functions to corresponding solutions of a Schrodinger equation with a time-averaged Coulomb potential in the high frequency limit for the oscillations of the electromagnetic potential.

Highlights

  • Introduction and Statement of the MainResultsIn this paper we investigate the following nonlinear Schrodinger equation i ∂tψ = (i ∇ − A)2ψ + c 1 |x| ψ C1(|

  • In this paper we are interested in studying the case when A(t) is rapidly oscillating and we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of (1.3) in the highly oscillating regime

  • We use the Fourier transform for the slow time variable. For this purpose we extend the function g from [0, T ]×R×R3 to R×R×R3, such that it is smooth in R×R×R3 and it vanishes outside the slab (−1, T +1)×R×R3

Summary

Introduction and Statement of the Main Results

The idea for the proof is as in [2] and can be explained in the following way: if we consider the Duhamel’s formula for equation (1.6), the oscillating potential (1.5) appears inside the time integral, the weak convergence for (1.5) can be improved to the strong one for {uω}. This is possible thanks to the uniform bounds in ω we have for {uω}
