Representation formula for stochastic Schrödinger evolution equations and applications

Abstract

We prove a representation formula for solutions of Schrödinger equations with potentials multiplied by a temporal real-valued white noise in the Stratonovich sense. Using this formula, we obtain a dispersive estimate which allows us to study the Cauchy problem in L2 or in the energy space of model equations arising in Bose–Einstein condensation, Abdullaev et al (2001 Nonlinearity and Disorder: Theory and Applications (NATO Science Series vol 45) ed F Abdullaev et al (Dodrecht: Kluwer)), or in fiber optics, Abdullaev et al (2000 Physica D 135 369–86). Our results also give a justification of diffusion-approximation for stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
