The small dispersion limit of the focusing nonlinear Schro\"odinger equation (NLS) exhibits a rich structure of sharply separated regions exhibiting disparate rapid oscillations at microscopic scales. The non self-adjoint scattering problem and ill-posed limiting Whitham equa- tions associated to focusing NLS make rigorous asymptotic results difficult. Previous studies [KMM03, TVZ04, TVZ06] have focused on special classes of analytic initial data for which the limiting elliptic Whitham…
