Put andDifferentiate the scaling and quadratic phase. After multiplying the nonlinear Schrödinger equation by , the terms proportional to , , and vanish respectively whenThe remaining expression iswhich vanishes by part 4. Hence the Schrödinger expanding lens ansatz for the mass-critical equation solves the defocusing cubic equation.

A concrete Schrödinger expanding lens ansatz for the mass-critical equation starts with a finite-energy solution of the trapped defocusing stationary equationSet . Thensolves the Defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two dimensions. Direct substitution gives the scale/chirp conditions , , and phase rate . The displayed stationary equation supplies exactly the remaining spatial terms.[ref]
Critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations with and without harmonic potential by Rémi Carles. Equations (1.4)–(1.5), free/trapped lens transform, rescaled to Laplacian coefficient one
The harmonic-oscillator energy space assumption controls both the ordinary gradient and the quadratic-phase gradient. Moreover,by the substitution and . This gives an explicit free solution to which scattering from a finite Strichartz norm applies.
