Solitary and self-similar solutions of two-component system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations (Q2507974)

The authors consider solutions of two-component system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations given by \[ \begin{gathered} i\partial_t\phi+\Delta\phi+ \mu_1|\phi|^2\phi+ \beta|\psi|^2\phi= 0,\\ i\partial_t\psi+ \Delta\psi+ \mu_2|\psi|^2\psi+ \beta|\phi|^2\psi= 0,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^n,\quad t> 0,\\ \phi= \phi(x,t),\quad \psi= \psi(x,t)\in\mathbb{C},\\ \phi(x,t),\quad \psi(x,t)\to 0\quad\text{as }|x|\to+\infty,\quad t> 0\end{gathered}\tag{1} \] with initial data \(\phi|_{t=0}= \phi_0\in H^s_0(\mathbb{R}^n; \mathbb{C})\), \(\psi|_{t=0}= \psi_0\in H^s_0(\mathbb{R}^n;\mathbb{C})\), \(s> 2\), where \(\mu_j> 0\), \(j=1,2\) are positive constants, \(n\leq 3\), and \(\beta\in \mathbb{R}\) is a coupling constant. Here the authors prove simultaneous blow-up on two components of the system (1) by studying the associated self-similar solutions. These self-similar solutions have multi-bumps forming abundant geometric patterns which cannot be found in one-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Therefore the wave collapse of the system (1) is more complex than that of one-component self-focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
