WKB analysis of the logarithmic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in an analytic framework

Abstract

We are interested in a WKB analysis of the logarithmic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with “Riemann-like” variables in an analytic framework in semiclassical regime. We show that the Cauchy problem is locally well posed uniformly in the semiclassical constant and that the semiclassical limit can be performed. In particular, our framework is not only compatible with the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with logarithmic nonlinearity, but also allows initial data (and solutions) which can converge to [Formula: see text] at infinity.
