Every minimizer of the Weinstein functional has the formwhere is the positive radial NLS ground state. The Euler-Lagrange equation first reduces a minimizer to a rescaled ground-state equation; the equality cases in the diamagnetic and rearrangement inequalities give the constant phase, translation, and radial profile.

For , the mass-critical Weinstein functional isIt is invariant under multiplication by a nonzero scalar, spatial dilation, translation, and constant phase. Its positive minimizers are rescalings and translations of the NLS ground state.
