Abstract

In this paper, we study the orbital stability of standing waves for one-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with potentials. We show that the standing waves are orbitally stable for all frequencies in the $L^{2}$- subcritical and critical cases. Since the presence of potentials breaks the scale invariance of the equations, it is a delicate problem to apply the abstract theory of Grillakis, Shatah, and Strauss (1987) directly without a perturbative argument. For this reason, little is known about the orbital stability of standing waves for \textit{all} frequencies in the non-scale-invariant setting. We overcome this difficulty by employing the approach of Noris, Tavares, and Verzini (2014).
