Abstract

In a previous paper [13] we calculated the leading-order term q(0)(x, t, epsilon) of the solution of q (x, t, epsilon), the focusing nonlinear (cubic) Schrodinger (NLS) equation in the semiclassical limit (epsilon - > 0) for a certain one-parameter family of initial conditions. This family contains both solitons and pure radiation. In the pure radiation case, our result is valid for all times t > = 0. The aim of the present paper is to calculate the long-term behavior of the semiclassical solution q(x, t, epsilon) in. the pure radiation case. As before, our main tool is the Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) formulation of the inverse scattering problem and the corresponding system of "moment and integral conditions," known also as a system of "modulation equations."
