ROTATING NONLINEAR SCHR¨ODINGER

We consider the computations of the action ground state for a rotating nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. It reads as a minimization of the action functional under the Nehari constraint. In the focusing case, we identify an equivalent formulation of the problem which simplifies the constraint. Based on it, we propose a normalized gradient flow method with asymptotic Lagrange multiplier and establish the energy-decaying property. Popular optimization methods are also applied to gain more efficiency. In the defocusing case, we prove that the ground state can be obtained by the unconstrained minimization. Then the direct gradient flow method and unconstrained optimization methods are applied. Numerical experiments show the convergence and accuracy of the proposed methods in both cases, and comparisons on the efficiency are discussed. Finally, the relation between the action and the energy ground states are numerically investigated.
