Polynomial deceleration for a system of cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in one space dimension.

In this paper, we consider the initial value problem of a specific system of cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Our aim of this research is to specify the asymptotic profile of the solution in L ∞ as t → ∞. It is then revealed that the solution decays slower than a linear solution does. Further, the difference of the decay rate is a polynomial order. This deceleration of the decay is due to an amplification effect by the nonlinearity. This nonlinear amplification phenomena was previously known for several specific systems, however the deceleration of the decay in these results was by a logarithmic order. As far as we know, the system studied in this paper is the first model in that the deceleration in a polynomial order is justified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
