The rate of convergence of a CI calculation on the ground state of the helium atom is rigorously derived under suitable assumptions on the regularity of the exact wavefunction. For bases consisting o...
This paper is devoted to the study of large-scale oceanic motions forced by some wind at the surface and braked by solid friction at the bottom. As the effect of the Coriolis force is dominant, this ...

We study the effective dynamics of solitons for the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation in a random potential. We show that when the external potential varies slowly in space compared to the size of the soliton, the dynamics of the center of the soliton is almost surely described by Hamilton's equations for a classical particle in the random potential, plus error terms due to radiation damping. Furthermore, we prove a limit theorem for the dynamics of the center of mass of the soliton in the weak-coupling and space-adiabatic limit in two and higher dimensions: Under certain mixing hypotheses for the potential, the momentum of the center of mass of the soliton converges in law to a diffusion process on a sphere of constant momentum. In three and higher dimensions, the dynamics of the center of mass of the soliton converges to spatial diffusion.
