Two-point correlation function and its applications to the Schrödinger-Lohe type models

Abstract

We study the asymptotic emergent dynamics and the continuum limit for the Schrödinger-Lohe (SL) model and semi-discrete SL model. For the SL model, emergent dynamics has been mostly studied for systems with identical potentials in literature. In this paper, we further extend emergent dynamics and stability estimate for the SL model with nonidentical potentials. To achieve this, we use two-point correlation functions defined as an inner product between wave functions. For the semi-discrete SL model, we provide a global unique solvability and a sufficient framework for the smooth transition from the semi-discrete SL model to the SL model in any finite-time interval, as the mesh size tends to zero. Our convergence estimate depends on the uniform-in- h h Strichartz estimate and the uniform-stability of the SL models with respect to initial data.
