Localizing Estimates of the Support of Solutions of some Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger Equations - The Stationary Case
The main goal of this paper is to study the nature of the support of the solution of suitable nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations mainly the compactness of the support and its spatial localization. This question is very related with pure essence of the derivation of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation since it is well-known that if the linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation is perturbated with "regular" potentials then the corresponding solution never vanishes on a positive measured subset of the domain, which corresponds with the impossibility of localize the particle. Here we shall prove that if the perturbation involves suitable singular nonlinear terms then the support of the solution becomes a compact set and so any estimate on its spatial localization implies a very rich information on places which can not be. Our results are obtained by the application of some energy methods which connect the compactness of the support with the local vanishing of a suitable "energy function" which satisfies a nonlinear differential inequality with an exponent less than one. The results improve and extend a previous short presentation by the authors published in 2006.
