TL;DR
The work develops a high-energy perturbation framework for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential in two dimensions, proving the existence of stationary states near two-plane-wave superpositions. It blends Bloch theory for the linear polyharmonic operator with a nonlinear fixed-point scheme to incorporate the nonlinearity, yielding convergent series for perturbed eigenvalues and spectral projections and explicit control of isoenergetic surfaces. In resonant regimes, a 2×2 model captures near-degeneracies, and the authors construct nonlinear corrections producing paired eigenfunctions $u^{\pm}$ with precise high-energy asymptotics and differentiability with respect to the Bloch parameter. Specializing to $n=2$, $l=1$, the results guarantee resonant nonlinear Bloch states for sufficiently small $V$ and small amplitudes, with explicit error bounds and separation of energy branches, enabling detailed geometry of isoenergetic surfaces at large energies.
Abstract
The goal is a construction of stationary solutions close to a non-trivial combination of two plane waves at high energies for a periodic non-linear Schroedinger equation in dimension two. The corresponding isoenergetic surfaces are described for every sufficiently large energy.
