Changing blow-up time in nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Rémi Carles (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations may blow up in finite time. We study the influence of the introduction of a potential on this phenomenon. For a linear potential (Stark effect), the blow-up time remains unchanged, but the location of the collapse is altered. The main part of our study concerns isotropic quadratic potentials. We show that the usual (confining) harmonic potential may anticipate the blow-up time, and always does when the power of the nonlinearity is L 2 -critical. On the other...

Critical nonlinear elliptic equations with singularities and cylindrical symmetry

Marino Badiale, Enrico Serra (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Motivated by a problem arising in astrophysics we study a nonlinear elliptic equation in RN with cylindrical symmetry and with singularities on a whole subspace of RN. We study the problem in a variational framework and, as the nonlinearity also displays a critical behavior, we use some suitable version of the Concentration-Compactness Principle. We obtain several results on existence and nonexistence of solutions.
