✦ Synopsis
The capacity of coupled nonlinear Schro dinger (NLS) equations to support multipulse solutions (multibump solitary-waves) is investigated. A detailed analysis is undertaken for a system of quadratically coupled equations that describe the phenomena of second harmonic generation and parametric wave interaction in non-centrosymmetric optical materials. Utilising the framework of homoclinic bifurcation theory, and employing a Lyapunov Schmidt reduction method developed by Hale, Lin, and Sandstede, a novel mechanism for the generation of multipulses is identified, which arises from a resonant semi-simple eigenvalue configuration of the linearised steady-state equations. Conditions for the existence of multipulses, as well as a description of their geometry, are derived from the analysis.

## Abstract We are interested in finding the sharp regularity with respect to the time variable of the coefficients of a Schrödinger type operator in order to have a well‐posed Cauchy Problem in __H__^∞^. We consider both the cases of the first derivative that breaks down at a point __t__~0~ and of
We study the time evolution of a quantum particle in a Gaussian random environment. We show that in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of the wave function converges to a solution of a linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. The Boltzmann collision kernel is given by the Born approx
The eigenvalue problem for a system of N coupled one-dimensional Schrodinger equations, arising in bound state in quantum mechanics, is considered. A canonical approach for the calculation of the energy eigenvalues of this system is presented. This method replaces the use of the wave functions by 2
Orthogonal coordinate systems with helical geometry are constructed in euclidean 3-space and the Schrodinger equations in these coordinate systems are obtained. Of the two helical coordinate systems discussed, the external system consists of flat surfaces while the internal system consists of surfac
