We consider the wave equation with an energy supercritical focusing nonlinearity in general odd dimensions. We prove that any radial solution that remains bounded in the critical Sobolev space is global and scatters to a linear solution.
Given $n \in \{ 3,4,5 \}$ and $k > 1$ (resp. $\frac{4}{3} > k > 1$) if $n \in \{ 3,4 \}$ (resp. $n=5$), we prove scattering of the radial $\tilde{H}^{k}:= \dot{H}^{k}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) \cap \dot{H}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ solutions of a focusing size-dependent log energy-supercritical Schrodinger equation for critical energies below that of the ground states, and for critical potential energies below that of the ground states.
In this paper, we consider the wave equation in space dimension 3 with an energy-supercritical, focusing nonlinearity. We show that any radial solution of the equation which is bounded in the critical Sobolev space is globally defined and scatters to a linear solution. As a consequence, finite time blow-up solutions have critical Sobolev norm converging to infinity (along some sequence of times). The proof relies on the compactness/rigidity method, pointwise estimates on compact solutions obtained by the two last authors, and channels of energy arguments used by the authors in previous works o…
We investigate the $L^2$-supercritical and $\dot{H}^1$-subcritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $H^1$. In \cite{G1} and \cite{yuan}, the mass-energy quantity $M(Q)^{\frac{1-s_{c}}{s_{c}}}E(Q)$ has been shown to be a threshold for the dynamical behavior of solutions of the equation. In the present paper, we study the dynamics at the critical level $M(u)^{\frac{1-s_{c}}{s_{c}}}E(u)=M(Q)^{\frac{1-s_{c}}{s_{c}}}E(Q)$ and classify the corresponding solutions using modulation theory, non-trivially generalize the results obtained in \cite{holmer3} for the 3D cubic Schrödinger equation.
We consider the focusing $\dot H^{s_c}$-critical biharmonic Schrödinger equation, and prove a global wellposedness and scattering result for the radial data $u_0\in H^2(\mathbb R^N)$ satisfying $ M(u_0)^{\frac{2-s_c}{s_c}}E(u_0)<M(Q)^{\frac{2-s_c}{s_c}}E(Q) $ and $ \|u_{0}\|^{\frac{2-s_c}{s_c}}_{2}\|Δu_{0}\|_{2}<\|Q\|^{\frac{2-s_c}{s_c}}_{2}\|ΔQ\|_{2}, $ where $s_c\in(0,2)$ and $Q$ is the ground state of $Δ^2Q+(2-s_c)Q-|Q|^{p-1}Q=0$.
We consider the focusing $L^2$-supercritical Schrödinger equation in the exterior of a smooth, compact, strictly convex obstacle. We construct a solution behaving asymptotically as a solitary waves on $R^3$, as large time. When the velocity of the solitary wave is high, the existence of such a solution can be proved by a classical fixed point argument. To construct solutions with arbitrary nonzero velocity, we use a compactness argument similar to the one that was introduced by F.Merle in 1990 to construct solution of NLS blowing up at several blow-up point together with a topological argument…
We study dynamical properties of blowup solutions to the focusing $L^2$-supercritical nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation \[ i\partial_t u -(-Δ)^s u = -|u|^αu, \quad u(0) = u_0, \quad \text{on } [0,\infty) \times \mathbb{R}^d, \] where $d \geq 2, \frac{d}{2d-1} \leq s <1$, $\frac{4s}{d}<α<\frac{4s}{d-2s}$ and $u_0 \in \dot{H}^{s_{\text{c}}} \cap \dot{H}^s$ is radial with the critical Sobolev exponent $s_{\text{c}}$. To this end, we establish a compactness lemma related to the equation by means of the profile decomposition for bounded sequences in $\dot{H}^{s_{\text{c}}} \cap \dot{H}^s$. …
We prove the existence of global solutions to the focusing energy-supercritical semilinear wave equation in R^{3+1} for arbitrary outgoing large initial data, after we modify the equation by projecting the nonlinearity on outgoing states.
We consider the semiclassical limit of the Hartree equation with a data causing a focusing at a point. We study the asymptotic behavior of phase function associated with the WKB approximation near the caustic when a nonlinearity is supercritical. In this case, it is known that a phase shift occurs in a neighborhood of focusing time in the case of focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Thanks to the smoothness of the nonlocal nonlinearities, we justify the WKB-type approximation of the solution for a data which is larger than in the previous results and is not necessarily well-prepared.…
We present a numerical study of a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a general power nonlinearity, $|ψ|^{2σ}ψ_x$. In the $L^2$-supercritical regime, $σ>1$, our simulations indicate that there is a finite time singularity. We obtain a precise description of the local structure of the solution in terms of blowup rate and asymptotic profile, in a form similar to that of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with supercritical power law nonlinearity.
In this paper, we prove the existence of a countable family of regular spherically symmetric self-similar solutions to focusing energy super-critical semi-linear wave equations \begin{equation*} \partial_{tt}u-Δu=|u|^{p-1}u \qquad \text{in} \,\, \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{equation*} where $N\geq 3$, $1+\frac{4}{N-2}<p$, and, if $N\geq 4$, $p \leq 1+\frac{4}{N-3}$. This was previously known only in the case $N=3$, for integer $p$ (see Bizoń, Maison and Wasserman \cite{BMW}). We also study the asymptotics of these solutions.
We consider spherically symmetric supercritical focusing wave equations outside a ball. Using mixed analytical and numerical methods, we show that the threshold for blowup is given by a codimension-one stable manifold of the unique static solution with exactly one unstable direction. We analyze in detail the convergence to this critical solution for initial data fine-tuned to the threshold.
We prove that every solution of the focusing energy-critical wave equation with the compactness property is global. We also give similar results for supercritical wave and Schrödinger equations.
We study the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the $L^2$-supercritical regime with finite energy and finite variance initial data. We investigate solutions above the energy (or mass-energy) threshold. In our first result, we extend the known scattering versus blow-up dichotomy above that threshold for finite variance solutions in the energy-subcritical and energy-critical regimes, obtaining scattering and blow-up criteria for solutions with arbitrarily large mass and energy. As a consequence, we characterize the behavior of the ground state initial data modulated by a quadratic phase.…
We consider the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations $i\partial_t u+Δu +u|u|^{p-1}=0$ in dimension $1\leq N\leq 5$ and for slightly $L^2$ supercritical nonlinearities $p_c<p<(1+\e)p_c$ with $p_c=1+\frac{4}{N}$ and $0<\e\ll 1$. We prove the existence and stability in the energy space $H^1$ of a self similar finite time blow up dynamics and provide a qualitative description of the singularity formation near the blow up time
We consider odd solutions to the Schrödinger equation with the $L^2$-supercritical power type nonlinearity in one dimensional Euclidean space. It is known that the odd solution scatters or blows up if its action is less than twice as that of the ground state. In the present paper, we show that the odd solutions with the action as twice as that of the ground state scatter or blow up.
For the 3D focusing cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation, Scattering of $H^1$ solutions inside the (scale invariant) potential well was established by Holmer and Roudenko~\cite{HR2} (radial case) and Duyckaerts, Holmer and Roudenko~\cite{DHR} (general case). In this paper, we extend this result to arbitrary space dimensions and focusing, mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical power nonlinearities, by adapting the method of~\cite{DHR}.
We show that all supercritical monic focusing NLS in one space dimension exhibit asymptotic stability of perturbed standing waves provided the perturbations are chosen on a small hypersuface in a suitable space.
We consider the wave equation in space dimension $3$, with an energy-supercritical nonlinearity which can be either focusing or defocusing. For any radial solution of the equation, with positive maximal time of existence $T$, we prove that one of the following holds: (i) the norm of the solution in the critical Sobolev space goes to infinity as $t$ goes to $T$, or (ii) $T$ is infinite and the solution scatters to a linear solution forward in time. We use a variant of the channel of energy method, relying on a generalized $L^p$-energy which is almost conserved by the flow of the radial linear w…

We consider the focusing $L^2$-supercritical fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation \[ i\partial_t u - (-Δ)^s u = -|u|^αu, \quad (t,x) \in \mathbb{R}^+ \times \mathbb{R}^d, \] where $d\geq 2, \frac{d}{2d-1} \leq s <1$ and $\frac{4s}{d}<α<\frac{4s}{d-2s}$. By means of the localized virial estimate, we prove that the ground state standing wave is strongly unstable by blow-up. This result is a complement to a recent result of Peng-Shi [J. Math. Phys. 59 (2018), 011508] where the stability and instability of standing waves were studied in the $L^2$-subcritical and $L^2$-critical cases.
We consider the focusing mass supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation with rotation \begin{equation*} iu_{t}=-\frac{1}{2}Δu+\frac{1}{2}V(x)u-|u|^{p-1}u+L_Ωu,\quad (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^{N}\times\mathbb{R}, \end{equation*} where $N=2$ or $3$ and $V(x)$ is an anisotropic harmonic potential. Here $L_Ω$ is the quantum mechanical angular momentum operator. We establish conditions for global existence and blow-up in the energy space. Moreover, we prove strong instability of standing waves under certain conditions on the rotation and the frequency of the wave. Finally, we construct orbitally stabl…
We construct radially symmetric self-similar blow-up profiles for the mass supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation $i\partial_t u + Δu + |u|^{p-1}u=0$ on $\mathbf{R}^d$, close to the mass critical case and for any space dimension $d\ge 1$. These profiles bifurcate from the ground state solitary wave. The argument relies on the classical matched asymptotics method suggested in [Sulem, C.; Sulem, P.-L., The nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Self-focusing and wave collapse. Applied Mathematical Sciences, 139. Springer-Verlag, New York, 1999] which needs to be applied in a degenerate case due t…
We study the blowup behavior for the focusing energy-supercritical semilinear wave equation in 3 space dimensions without symmetry assumptions on the data. We prove the stability of the ODE blowup profile.
The nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-Δu +|u_t|^{p-1}u_t=0$ is shown to be globally well-posed in the Sobolev spaces of radially symmetric functions $H^k_{\rm rad}({\bf R}^3)\times H^{k-1}_{\rm rad}({\bf R}^3)$ for all $p\geq 3$ and $k\geq 3$. Moreover, global $C^\infty $ solutions are obtained when the initial data are $C_0^\infty$ and exponent $p$ is an odd integer. The radial symmetry allows a reduction to the one-dimensional case where an important observation of A. Haraux (2009) can be applied, i.e., dissipative nonlinear wave equations contract initial data in $W^{k,q}({\bf R})\times W^{k-…
We consider the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equation with focusing point nonlinearity. "Point" means that the pure-power nonlinearity has an inhomogeneous potential and the potential is the delta function supported at the origin. This equation is used to model a Kerr-type medium with a narrow strip in the optic fibre. There are several mathematical studies on this equation and the local/global existence of solution, blow-up occurrence and blow-up profile have been investigated. In this paper we focus on the asymptotic behavior of the global solution, i.e, we show that the global solution scatters…
We study the focusing stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in 1D in the $L^2$-critical and supercritical cases with an additive or multiplicative perturbation driven by space-time white noise. Unlike the deterministic case, the Hamiltonian (or energy) is not conserved in the stochastic setting, nor is the mass (or the $L^2$-norm) conserved in the additive case. Therefore, we investigate the time evolution of these quantities. After that we study the influence of noise on the global behavior of solutions. In particular, we show that the noise may induce blow-up, thus, ceasing the global ex…
In this paper we consider global and non-global radial solutions of the focusing energy--critical wave equation on $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^N$ where $N \geq 5$ is odd. We prove that if the solution remains bounded in the energy space as you approach the maximal forward time of existence, then along a sequence of times converging to the maximal forward time of existence, the solution decouples into a sum of dynamically rescaled solitons, a free radiation term, and an error tending to zero in the energy space. If, in addition, we assume a bound on the evolution that rules out formation of m…
We consider the focusing mass supercritical semilinear Schrödinger equation with a repulsive Dirac delta potential on the real line (deltaNLS). Our aim in the present paper is to find a necessary and sufficient condition on the data below the standing wave of NLS without a potential to determine the global behavior of the solution. Moreover, we determine the global dynamics of the radial solution whose mass-energy is larger than that of the standing wave and smaller than that of the standing wave of deltaNLS.
We consider the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with focusing \emph{point nonlinearity}, $$i\partial_tψ+ \partial_x^2ψ+ δ|ψ|^{p-1}ψ= 0$$ where $δ=δ(x)$ is the delta function supported at the origin. In the $L^2$ supercritical setting $p>3$, we construct self-similar blow-up solutions belonging to the energy space $L_x^\infty \cap \dot H_x^1$. This is reduced to finding outgoing solutions of a certain stationary profile equation. All outgoing solutions to the profile equation are obtained by using parabolic Weber functions and solving the jump condition at $x=0$ imposed by the $δ$ term.…
We prove blow up results for the solution of the initial value problem with negative energy of the focusing mass-critical and supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger and the focusing energy-subcritical nonlinear wave equations with electromagnetic potential.
We consider the non linear focusing wave equation $\partial_{tt}u-Δu-u|u|^{p-1}=0$ in large dimensions and for radially symmetric data, in the energy supercritical zone for p large enough. We construct finite time blow up solutions that concentrate the soliton profile $u \sim \frac{1}{λ^{\frac{2}{p-1}}}Q (\frac{r} λ)$, $Q$ being a special stationary state of the equation. The blow up is of type II i.e all norms below scaling remain bounded. The scale shrinks at quantized blow up rates: we exhibit a countable family of asymptotic behaviors near blow up time for the scale lambda. For each rate w…
We consider the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation (INLS) in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N \geq 1$, $$i \partial_t u + Δu + |x|^{-b} |u|^{p-1}u = 0,$$ with finite-variance initial data $u_0 \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$. We extend the dichotomy between scattering and blow-up for solutions above the mass-energy threshold (and with arbitrarily large energy). We also show other two blow-up criteria, wich are valid in any mass-supercritical setting, given there is local well-posedness.
We consider the long time asymptotics of (not necessarily small) odd solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with semi-linear and nonlocal Hartree nonlinearities, in one dimension of space. We assume data in the energy space $H^1(\mathbb{R})$ only, and we prove decay to zero in compact regions of space as time tends to infinity. We give three different results where decay holds: semilinear NLS, NLS with a suitable potential, and defocusing Hartree. The proof is based on the use of suitable virial identities, in the spirit of nonlinear Klein-Gordon models as in Kowalczyk-Martel-Muñoz, a…
In this paper we study dynamical properties of blowup solutions to the focusing intercritical (mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical) nonlinear fourth-order Schrödinger equation. We firstly establish the profile decomposition of bounded sequences in $\dot{H}^{γ_{\text{c}}} \cap \dot{H}^2$. We also prove a compactness lemma and a variational characterization of ground states related to the equation. As a result, we obtain the $\dot{H}^{γ_{\text{c}}}$-concentration of blowup solutions with bounded $\dot{H}^{γ_{\text{c}}}$-norm and the limiting profile of blowup solutions with critical $\dot{…
We consider the Yang-Mills equations in $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. It is known that in the supercritical case, i.e., for $d \geq 5$, these equations admit closed form equivariant self-similar blowup solutions \cite{BieBiz15}. These solutions are furthermore conjectured to be the universal attractors for generic large equivariant data evolutions. In this paper we partially prove this conjecture. Namely, we show that for all odd $d \geq 5$ the blowup mechanism exhibited by these solutions is stable.
We prove global well-posedness, scattering and blow-up results for energy-subcritical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the hyperbolic space. We show in particular the existence of a critical element for scattering for all energy-subcritical power nonlinearities. For mass-supercritical nonlinearity, we show a scattering vs blow-up dichotomy for radial solutions of the equation in low dimension, below natural mass and energy thresholds given by the ground states of the equation. The proofs are based on trapping by mass and energy, compactness and rigidity, and are similar to the ones …
We establish the scattering of solutions to the focusing mass supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a repulsive Dirac delta potential \[ i\partial_{t}u+\partial^{2}_{x}u+γδ(x)u+|u|^{p-1}u=0, \quad (t,x)\in {\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R}, \] at the mass-energy threshold, namely, when $E_γ(u_{0})[M(u_{0})]^σ=E_{0}(Q)[M(Q)]^σ$ where $u_{0}\in H^{1}({\mathbb R})$ is the initial data, $Q$ is the ground state of the free NLS on the real line ${\mathbb R}$, $E_γ$ is the energy, $M$ is the mass and $σ=(p+3)/(p-5)$. We also prove failure of the uniform space-time bounds at the mass-energy thr…
For the focusing cubic wave equation, we find an explicit, non-trivial self-similar blowup solution $u^*_T$, which is defined on the whole space and exists in all supercritical dimensions $d \geq 5$. For $d=7$, we analyze its stability properties without any symmetry assumptions and prove the existence of a set of perturbations which lead to blowup via $u^*_T$ in a backward light cone. Moreover, this set corresponds to a co-dimension one Lipschitz manifold modulo translation symmetries in similarity coordinates.
In this paper, we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a real valued potential V=V(x). We study global behavior of solutions to the equation with a data below the ground state under some conditions for the potential V and prove a scattering result and a blowing-up result in mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical. Our proof of the blowing-up or growing-up result without radially symmetric assumption is based on the argument by Du-Wu-Zhang in [6]. We can exclude the possibility of the growing-up result by the argument in [23], [15], and [10] if "the data and the potential are radi…
This article is concerned with time global behavior of solutions to focusing mass-subcritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation of power type with data in a critical homogeneous weighted $L^2$ space. We give a sharp sufficient condition for scattering by proving existence of a threshold solution which does not scatter at least for one time direction and of which initial data attains minimum value of a norm of the weighted $L^2$ space in all initial value of non-scattering solution. Unlike in the mass-critical or -supercritical case, ground state is not a threshold. This is an extension of previou…
We prove finite time supercritical blowup in a parity-time-symmetric system of the two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. One of the equations contains gain and the other one contains dissipation such that strengths of the gain and dissipation are equal. We address two cases: in the first model all nonlinear coefficients (i.e. the ones describing self-action and non-linear coupling) correspond to attractive (focusing) nonlinearities, and in the second case the NLS equation with gain has attractive nonlinearity while the NLS equation with dissipation has repulsive (defocusing) nonli…
We study the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an inverse-square potential in dimensions $3\leq d \leq 6$. We consider both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities in the mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical regime. In the focusing case, we prove a scattering/blowup dichotomy below the ground state. In the defocusing case, we prove scattering in $H^1$ for arbitrary data.
We consider the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (gKdV) equation $\partial_t u+\partial_x^3u+μ\partial_x(u^{k+1})=0$, where $k\geq5$ is an integer number and $μ=\pm1$. In the focusing case ($μ=1$), we show that if the initial data $u_0$ belongs to $H^1(\R)$ and satisfies $E(u_0)^{s_k} M(u_0)^{1-s_k} < E(Q)^{s_k} M(Q)^{1-s_k}$, $E(u_0)\geq0$, and $\|\partial_x u_0\|_{L^2}^{s_k}\|u_0\|_{L^2}^{1-s_k} < \|\partial_x Q\|_{L^2}^{s_k}\|Q\|_{L^2}^{1-s_k}$, where $M(u)$ and $E(u)$ are the mass and energy, then the corresponding solution is global in $H^1(\R)$. Here, $s_k=\frac{(k-4)}{2k}$ and $Q$ is the g…
We consider the focusing mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS). We are interested in the global behavior of the solutions to (NLS) with group invariance. By the group invariance, we can determine the global behavior of the solutions above the ground state standing waves.
We consider co-rotational wave maps from the $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space into the $d$-sphere for $d\geq 3$ odd. This is an energy-supercritical model which is known to exhibit finite-time blowup via self-similar solutions. Based on a method developed by the second author and Schörkhuber, we prove the asymptotic nonlinear stability of the "ground-state" self-similar solution.
We investigate the Cauchy problem for the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation $i \partial_t u + Δu = - |x|^b |u|^{p-1} u$ in the radial Sobolev space $H^1_{\text{rad}}(\mathbb{R}^N)$, where $b>0$ and $p>1$. We show the global existence and energy scattering in the inter-critical regime, i.e., $p>\frac{N+4+2b}{N}$ and $p<\frac{N+2+2b}{N-2}$ if $N\geq 3$. We also obtain blowing-up solutions for the mass-critical and mass-supercritical nonlinearities. The main difficulty, coming from the spatial growing nonlinearity, is overcome by refined Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequalities. …
We consider semilinear wave equations with focusing power nonlinearities in odd space dimensions $d \geq 5$. We prove that for every $p > \frac{d+3}{d-1}$ there exists an open set of radial initial data in $H^{\frac{d+1}{2}} \times H^{\frac{d-1}{2}}$ such that the corresponding solution exists in a backward lightcone and approaches the ODE blowup profile. The result covers the entire range of energy supercritical nonlinearities and extends our previous work for the three-dimensional radial wave equation to higher space dimensions.
We consider the focusing cubic wave equation in the energy supercritical case, i.e., in dimensions $d \geq 5$. For this model an explicit nontrivial self-similar blowup solution was recently found by the first and third author in \cite{GlogicSchoerkhuber}. Furthermore, the solution is proven to be co-dimension one stable in $d=7$. In this paper, we study the equation from a numerical point of view. For $d=5$ and $d=7$ in the radial case, we provide evidence that this solution is at the threshold between generic ODE blowup and dispersion. In addition, we investigate the spectral problem that un…
We consider a perturbed energy critical focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in three dimensions. We construct solitary wave solutions for focusing subcritical perturbations as well as defocusing supercritical perturbations. The construction relies on the resolvent expansion, which is singular due to the presence of a resonance. Specializing to pure power focusing subcritical perturbations we demonstrate, via variational arguments, and for a certain range of powers, the existence of a ground state solitary wave, which is then shown to be the previously constructed solution. Finally, we pres…
