We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
${u_t} = i\Delta u + {\left| u \right|^\alpha }u\;\;\;\;{\rm{on}}\;\;\;{\mathbb{R}^N},\;\;\alpha >0$
for
$H^1$
-subcritical or critical nonlinearities:
$(N-2) α ≤ 4$
. Under the additional technical assumptions
$α≥ 2$
 (and thus
$N≤4$
), we construct
$H^1$
 solutions that blow up in finite time with explicit blow-up profiles and blow-up rates. In particular, blowup can occur at any given finite set of points of
$\mathbb{R}^N$
.
The construction involves explicit functions
$U$
, solutions of the ordinary differential equation
$U_t=|U|^α U$
. In the simplest case,
$U(t,x)=(|x|^k-α t)^{-\frac 1α}$
 for
$t<0$
,
$x∈ \mathbb{R}^N$
. For
$k$
 sufficiently large,
$U$
 satisfies
$|Δ U|\ll U_t$
 close to the blow-up point
$(t,x)=(0,0)$
, so that it is a suitable approximate solution of the problem. To construct an actual solution u close to U, we use energy estimates and a compactness argument.
Keywords: Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, finite-time blowup, blow-up profile.
