In this thesis, we consider two types of nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS), namely a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with mixed power nonlinearities in R^N and a class of Schrödinger-Poisson-Slater equations in R^3. These two types of NLS arise in various mathematical and physical models and have drawn wide attention in recent years.From the physical point of view, since, in addition to being a conserved quantity for the evolution equation, the mass often has a clear physical meaning; for instance, it represents the power supply in nonlinear optics, or the total number of atoms in Bose-Einstein condensation, etc, we focus on studying solutions having prescribed mass, namely normalized solutions. The existence, multiplicity, and stability issues of such solutions are considered in this thesis. We deal with both Sobolev sub-critical and Sobolev critical cases. Particular attention is paid to Sobolev critical cases in which many open problems remain. Since normalized solutions are found as critical points of an associated functional on a constraint, the main ingredients of our proofs are variational methods.The thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction to this thesis containing a brief presentation of issues treated and obtained results. In Chapter 2, we study Sobolev critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations with mixed power nonlinearities in R^N. In a situation where the associated functional is unbounded from below on the constraint, we prove the existence of two constrained critical points, one local minimizer, and one saddle point lying at a mountain pass level. We also show that the standing waves associated with the local minimizer are orbitally stable and the associated standing waves corresponding with saddle points lying at mountain pass levels are strongly unstable. The main difficulty is the presence of the Sobolev critical exponent. Concerning the local minimizer, it is not possible to use in a standard way the compactness by concentration approach developed by P. L. Lions. Even having the compactness, the global existence in evolution is still unknown. For the existence of the saddle point, we need a strict upper estimate of the associated mountain pass level that we derive using testing functions.In Chapter 3, we study Schrödinger-Poisson-Slater equations in R^3. We deal with some range of parameters under which the associated functional restricted on the constraint will sometimes be bounded, sometimes be unbounded. In the case where the geometric structure of the associated functional suggests the existence of local minima or global minima, we develop an argument to deal with both Sobolev sub-critical and Sobolev critical cases. In the case where the geometric structure of the associated functional suggests the existence of a saddle point, we need two different arguments to deal with Sobolev sub-critical and Sobolev critical cases. Finally, in Chapter 4, we present some concluding remarks about the two equations considered in this thesis and also we propose some open problems.

We study the critical initial-value problem for defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We adapt techniques that were originally developed to treat the mass- and energy-critical equations to the case of `non-conserved' critical regularity. In particular, we follow the minimal counterexample approach to the induction on energy technique of Bourgain. For a range of dimensions and critical regularities, we prove that any solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space must exist globally in time, obey spacetime bounds, and scatter to a free solution. In certain cases, the main result applies only to radial solutions. An equivalent formulation of the main result is the statement that any solution that fails to scatter must blow up its critical Sobolev norm.

The nonlinear Schrodinger equation has received a great deal of attention from mathematicians, particularly because of its applications to nonlinear optics. This book presents various mathematical aspects of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. It studies both problems of local nature and problems of global nature.

We consider the initial value problem for various type of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with derivative nonlinearity which cannot be treated by normal perturbative arguments because of the loss in derivative from the nonlinearity. The first part of the study involves finding the well-posedness in low regularity Sobolev spaces for different types of nonlinearities. The key idea is to capture a part of the solution that resembles the linear Schrödinger dynamic while keeping the remaining part spatial and frequency localized. With this, we can study the interactions between the truncations of the solution at different frequencies and obtain a meaningful perturbative analysis. In the second part, we study the dynamic of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the energy critical Sobolev space by projecting the solution onto different wave packets which are frequency and spatial localized at all time. As a result, we obtain the asymptotic behavior, modified scattering profile and asymptotic completeness of the solution without relying on the integrable structure of the equation.

This book emphasizes those basic abstract methods and theories that are useful in the study of nonlinear boundary value problems. The content is developed over six chapters, providing a thorough introduction to the techniques used in the variational and topological analysis of nonlinear boundary value problems described by stationary differential operators. The authors give a systematic treatment of the basic mathematical theory and constructive methods for these classes of nonlinear equations as well as their applications to various processes arising in the applied sciences. They show how these diverse topics are connected to other important parts of mathematics, including topology, functional analysis, mathematical physics, and potential theory. Throughout the book a nice balance is maintained between rigorous mathematics and physical applications. The primary readership includes graduate students and researchers in pure and applied nonlinear analysis.
