In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a nontrival potential Vε(x). In particular, we consider the case where the initial data is close to a superposition of k solitons with prescribed phase and location, and investigate the evolution of the Schrödinger system. We prove that over a large time interval with the maximum time tending to infinity, all k solitons will maintain the shape, and the solitons dynamics can be regarded as an approximation of k particles moving in ℝN with their accelerations dominated by ∇ Vε, provided the barycenters of these solitons do not coincide.
