Stable self-similar blow-up dynamics for slightly \(L^{2}\) super-critical NLS equations (Q602050)

{The authors prove the existence and stability of a self-similar blow-up regime for the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation \(i\partial_{t}u+ \Delta u+u| u |^{p-1} = 0\) in dimensions \(1 \leq N \leq 5\) and for slightly \(L^{2}\) super-critical nonlinearities \(p_{c} < p < (1+\varepsilon)p_{c}\), \(p_{c}= 1+4/N\) and \(\varepsilon\) sufficiently small. They also obtain the blow-up dynamics and describe singularity formation near the blow-up time.} { Their idea of proof is to avoid the issue of the existence of exact self-similar solutions of the NLS equation. Instead, they prove in a dynamical way the existence of stable self-similar blow-up dynamics using a crude and compactly supported approximation of the self-similar profile and log-log analysis tools.}
