Title: Inviscid limit of linearly damped and forced nonlinear Schrodinger equations Author: Nikolaos Gialelis (National and Kapodistrian Univ. of Athens, Greece) Abstract: We approximate a solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger Cauchy problem by solutions of the linearly damped and driven nonlinear Schrodinger Cauchy problems in any open subset of Rn and, for the case n=1, we provide an estimate of the convergence rate. In doing so, we extract a sufficient relation between the external force and the constant of damping. Submitted November 12, 2018. Published June 29, 2020.
