doi:10.2478/caim-2023-0004

Abstract

The paper presents a complete (to the best of the author’s knowledge) overview on the existing literature concerning the NLS equation with point-concentrated nonlinearity. Precisely, it mainly covers the following topics: definition of the model, weak and strong local well-posedness, global well-posedness, classification and stability (orbital and asymptotic) of the standing waves, blow-up analysis and derivation from the standard NLS equation with shrinking potentials. Also some related problem is mentioned.
