Abstract

We consider a scaling limit of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with a nonlocal nonlinearity showing that it reproduces in the limit of cutoff removal a NLS equation with nonlinearity concentrated at a point. The regularized dynamics is described by the equation \begin{equation*} i\frac{\partial }{\partial t} ψ^\varepsilon(t)= -Δψ^\varepsilon(t) + g(\varepsilon,μ,|(ρ^\varepsilon,ψ^\varepsilon(t))|^{2μ}) (ρ^\varepsilon,ψ^\varepsilon(t)) ρ^\varepsilon \end{equation*} where weakly and the function embodies the nonlinearity and the scaling and has to be fine tuned in order to have a nontrivial limit dynamics. The limit dynamics is a nonlinear version of point interaction in dimension three and it has been previously studied in several papers as regards the well-posedness, blow-up and asymptotic properties of solutions. Our result is the first justification of the model as the point limit of a regularized dynamics.
