Abstract
It is shown that a large subset of initial data with finite energy (L 2 norm) evolves nearly linearly in nonlinear Schrödinger equation with periodic boundary conditions. These new solutions are not perturbations of the known ones such as solitons, semiclassical or weakly linear solutions.
