This paper is concerned with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an unbounded potential iϕt=−Δϕ+V(x)ϕ−μ|ϕ|p−1ϕ−λ|ϕ|q−1ϕ, x∈ℝN, t≥0, where μ>0, λ>0, and 1<p<q<1+4/N. The potential V(x) is bounded from below and satisfies V(x)→∞ as |x|→∞. From variational calculus and a compactness lemma, the existence of standing waves and their orbital stability are obtained.

Rogue periodic waves stand for rogue waves on a periodic background. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the focusing case admits two families of periodic wave solutions expressed by the Jacobian elliptic functions dn and cn . Both periodic waves are modulationally unstable with respect to long-wave perturbations. Exact solutions for the rogue periodic waves are constructed by using the explicit expressions for the periodic eigenfunctions of the Zakharov–Shabat spectral problem and the Darboux transformations. These exact solutions generalize the classical rogue wave (the so-called Peregrine’s breather). The magnification factor of the rogue periodic waves is computed as a function of the elliptic modulus. Rogue periodic waves constructed here are compared with the rogue wave patterns obtained numerically in recent publications.

We prove existence and orbital stability of standing waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation [Formula: see text] concentrating near a possibly degenerate local minimum of the potential V, when the Plank's constant ℏ is small enough. Our method applies to general nonlinearities, including f(s)=sp - 1 with p ∈ (1,1 + 4/N), but does not require uniqueness nor non-degeneracy of the limiting equation.
