# On weak interaction between a ground state and a trapping potential

• We continue our study initiated in [4] of the interaction of a ground state with a potential considering here a class of trapping potentials. We track the precise asymptotic behavior of the solution if the interaction is weak, either because the ground state moves away from the potential or is very fast.
