Abstract

We study the semiclassical limit of the least energy solutions to the nonlinear Dirac equation for x ∈ ℝ3. We prove that the equation has least energy solutions for all ħ > 0 small, and, in addition, that the solutions converge in a certain sense to the least energy solution of the associated limit problem as ħ → 0.
