Abstract: We consider a double power nonlinear Schr"odinger equation which possesses the algebraically decaying stationary solution

p h i_{0}

as well as exponentially decaying standing waves

e^{i o m e g a t} p h i_{o} m e g a (x)

with

o m e g a > 0

. It is well-known from the general theory that stability properties of standing waves are determined by the derivative of

o m e g a m a p s t o M (o m e g a) := f r a c 12 | p h i_{o} m e g a |_{L^{2}}^{2}

; namely

e^{i o m e g a t} p h i_{o} m e g a

with

o m e g a > 0

is stable if

M^{'} (o m e g a) > 0

and unstable if

M^{'} (o m e g a) < 0

. However, the stability/instability of stationary solutions is outside the general theory from the viewpoint of spectral properties of linearized operators. In this paper we prove the instability of the stationary solution

p h i_{0}

in one dimension under the condition

M^{'} (0) := l i m_{o m e g a d o w n a r r o w 0} M^{'} (o m e g a) i n [- i n f t y, 0)

. The key in the proof is the construction of the one-sided derivative of

o m e g a m a p s t o p h i_{o} m e g a

at

o m e g a = 0

, which is effectively used to construct the unstable direction of

p h i_{0}

.
