Blowup on an arbitrary compact set for a Schrödinger equation with nonlinear source term

Abstract: We consider the nonlinear Schr"odinger equation on

{m a t h b b R}^{N}

,

N g e 1

, �egin{equation*} partial _t u = i Delta u + lambda | u |^alpha u quad mbox{on

{m a t h b b R}^{N}

,

a l p h a > 0

,} end{equation*} with

l a m b d a i n m a t h b b C

and

R e l a m b d a > 0

, for

H^{1}

-subcritical nonlinearities, i.e.

a l p h a > 0

and

(N - 2) a l p h a < 4

. Given a compact set

K s u b s e t {m a t h b b R}^{N}

, we construct

H^{1}

solutions that are defined on

(- T, 0)

for some

T > 0

, and blow up on

K

at

t = 0

. The construction is based on an appropriate ansatz. The initial ansatz is simply

U_{0} (t, x) = (R e l a m b d a)^{- f r a c 1 a l p h a} (- a l p h a t + A (x))^{- f r a c 1 a l p h a - i f r a c I m l a m b d a a l p h a R e l a m b d a}

, where

A g e 0

vanishes exactly on

K

, which is a solution of the ODE

u^{'} = l a m b d a | u |^{a} l p h a u

. We refine this ansatz inductively, using ODE techniques. We complete the proof by energy estimates and a compactness argument. This strategy is reminiscent of~[3, 4].

Review text

This paper is concerned with the existence of \(H^1\) solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on \(\mathbb R^N\): \(\partial_t u=i\Delta u+\lambda|u|^{\alpha}u,\) where \(N\geq1,\lambda\in\mathbb{C}, \mathfrak{R}\lambda>0\) and \(\alpha>0\) with \((N-2)\alpha<4.\) The authors construct \(H^1\) solutions which are defined on \((-T, 0)\) for some \(T>0,\) and blow up on \(K\) at \(t = 0.\) This construction is based on an appropriate ansatz. The initial ansatz is simply \(U_0(t, x) = (\mathfrak{R}\lambda)^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}}(-\alpha t+A(x))^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}-i\frac{ \mathfrak{J}\lambda}{\mathfrak{R}\lambda}}\), where \(A(x)\geq 0\) is a solution of the ODE \( u'=\lambda|u|^{\alpha}u,\) vanishing exactly on \(K.\) The authors refine this ansatz inductively, by using ODE techniques. The proof of the main result is accomplished by employing energy estimates and a compactness argument.
