Abstract

We prove the instability of threshold resonances and eigenvalues of the linearized NLSoperator. We compute the asymptotic approximations of the eigenvalues appearing from theendpoint singularities in terms of the perturbations applied to the original NLS equation.Our method involves such techniques as the Birman-Schwinger principle and the Feshbachmap.
