1. nonlinear Schrödinger equation with complex coefficient
We consider the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation with complex coefficient of the power nonlinearity
[TABLE]
where and is a solution. There are large number of papers for the case which delt with, for examples, wellposedness and behaviours of solutions. In this case, we have the following conservation laws, charge and energy respectively
[TABLE]
These laws do not hold with in general. In the special case , there are results in the book written by Lions [6], the technique of monotone operators and compactness argument are applied to have existence of the solutions. Cazenave, Martel and Zhao [2] investigate (1.1) with the same setting . More general setting are discussed in [5] and which are sometimes called complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We consider (1.1) under this general setting with some assumptions. We investigate the finite time blow-up phenomena of the solution of (1.1). There are former results. Kita [4] proved the blow-up solution which starts with small initial data in one spatial dimension, so called, small data blow-up phenomena. Cazenave, Martel and Zhao [2] proved the blow-up solution in general dimensions. We introduce more details in [2] at Remark 2 below.
If we set the initial data belonging to the Sobolev space of order 1, that is , from the standard argument, there exists an unique time local solution of (1.1). There we assume the power condition
[TABLE]
where it means actually for and for , and we employ this rule throughout this paper. We introduce a blow-up profile for our argument:
[TABLE]
This is the same in [2] when . From the elemental calculation, we have
[TABLE]
Now we state the main theorem.
Theorem 1**.**
Let . Let and satisfy
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Then there exists a solution of (1.1) which blows up at in the sense of the following
[TABLE]
More precisely there exist positive constants and such that
[TABLE]
where is the blow-up profile of (1.3).
Remark 1*.*
The conditions (1.4) and (1.5) allow the followings
[TABLE]
Remark 2*.*
Cazenave-Martel-Zhao [2] gave the same conclusion under the assumption and for the power
[TABLE]
and the coefficinet which satisfy (1.4) and (1.5). They, in fact, proved more generalized case that any number and anywhere for the blow up points. We generalize the range of and we reduce the lower bound of . For our lower bound , it seems difficult to reduce the number below 1 since our argument requires to estimate norm for the difference of the two functions, that are, solution of (1.1) and the blow up profile . We remark is critical and still open as well.
In the sequential paper, we will deal with the double critical point
[TABLE]
for both the time global wellposendness and the blow up problem. We will apply the results in [5] to solve the following complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for global existence time
[TABLE]
The solution exists globally in the negative time for any and we take limit .
2. Preliminaries
Before going to our proof, we collect the standard estimates.
Lemma 2**.**
Let and . Then the estimates
[TABLE]
hold for where the implicit constant depends on and is independent of .
We remark for this lemma that we may consider minus power of the modulus, although the total power is positive.
For the nonlinear term, we set
[TABLE]
Lemma 3**.**
Let . Let be bounded interval. Suppose a sequence and a function satisfy
[TABLE]
Let satisfies subcritical or critical condition
[TABLE]
Then the limit and of it belong to the spaces
[TABLE]
respectively, and the following convergences hold
[TABLE]
Moreover, suppose additional bounded condition
[TABLE]
then the limit also belong to the space
[TABLE]
and the following convergence holds
[TABLE]
Remark 3*.*
We do not need to take any subsequence in the conclusions. We do not require that satisfy any equation likely as (1.1), neither.
Proof.
From (2.2), we have a subsequence and such as
[TABLE]
Since limit is unique, we obtain . If there is subsequence which does not converge to , then there are its subsequence , some test function and satisfy
[TABLE]
This is a contradiction since this subsequence is bounded, and so, it contains a subsequence which does not satisfy (2.9). Therefore the whole sequence converges to the limit. We obtain (2.4), and so, (2.5) follows as well. Next we consider (2.6). Incidentally, we have the following convergence in the norm for the subcritical power . By using the Gagliard-Nirenberg inequality
[TABLE]
as , where . For the critical power , we shall prove the same convergence but in the weak sense. We take any . For each , we calculate
[TABLE]
The integrable majorant in is the following
[TABLE]
We then apply Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem to obtain
[TABLE]
Since is dense, this implies as desired
[TABLE]
Actually we can prove this weak convergence for from boundedness and convergence of in another way. Since the interval is finite, we have
[TABLE]
we then have a subsequence which converges almost everywhere, i.e.
[TABLE]
This gives
[TABLE]
From Fubini’s theorem, we have
[TABLE]
for a.e. . We estimate the norm
[TABLE]
and this is uniformly bounded in and . From Lemma 1.3 in [6] , we have
[TABLE]
for a.e. in . Here we do not need to take a subsequence out. We estimate
[TABLE]
with some constant . So, for any and this , we have
[TABLE]
From Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem again gives the result,
[TABLE]
We may say from this argument that the whole sequence converges to the same limit which corresponds to (2.10). This complete the second proof for weak convergence for .
Next we assume (2.7) additionally and show (2.8). From the same argument above, we have where is the limit in (2.3). Form (2.4), we have for any ,
[TABLE]
as . This implies
[TABLE]
Combining with (2.4), we obtain (2.8) and this complete the proof. ∎
We define the space
[TABLE]
Lemma 4**.**
Let . Then the embedding is compact.
We introduce the Aubin-Lions lemma, see Simon [7].
Lemma 5**.**
Let and be three Banach spaces with where is compactly embedded in , and is continuously embedded in . For , define
[TABLE]
Then
- (1)
If , the embedding is compact. 2. (2)
If , the embedding is compact.
3. Time global well-posedness
In this section we show the existence of solution from any initial data in . We later consider the sequence of solutions on each time interval where is maximal existence time. If we obtain the time global well-posedness, we have uniform existence time .
Theorem 6**.**
Let and
[TABLE]
Then for any there exists and unique solution
[TABLE]
*Moreover if we additionally assume , then . *
Proof.
The standard argument, contraction mapping principle by using Strichartz estimate, gives the time local well-posedness where the maximal existence time and depend on for the subcritical power and on the profile of for the critical power . In order to obtain the global soluvability, we deduce a priori estimate.
[TABLE]
from the assumption Im. We also have
[TABLE]
where the fourth line just used Re. Therefore we have and conclude global existence of on for the subcritical power. With respect to the critical power, we may apply the argument in [2] with all of (1.5) besides the critical complex coefficient . Indeed we utilize (3.2) to have
[TABLE]
for the maximal existence time . The index satisfies the embedding with Strichartz admissible which implies . ∎
4. Estimates of
We estimate the profile in (1.3). This function satisfies the following ODE
[TABLE]
We collect the estimates on which are from [2] or slight modifications. We have for and any ,
[TABLE]
Proof.
These estimates (4.2) – (4.5) follows by the calculation in [2]. The estimate (4.6) is new and follow by the scaling argument as
[TABLE]
and use (4.4) for small . ∎
5. Difference between the solution and the profile
Since the profile blows up at , in order to obtain the blow up phenomena it suffice to estimate the difference between the solution of (1.1) and the profile which converges to [math] as . We actually discuss the approximate solutions with the initial data at the initial time for each . As we saw in section 3 that (1.1) is time globally wellposed, there is no need to worry about the degeneration of the existence times for the sequence of these solutions. We consider the Cauchy problem of (1.1) with the initial data defined above at the initial time ,
[TABLE]
Theorem 6 gives the unique existence of the global solution of (5.3) for each
[TABLE]
We define and estimate the following
[TABLE]
Although it seems better to denote and for and respectively in each , we abbreviate them when there is no confusion. Then satisfies
[TABLE]
Proposition 7**.**
There are positive constants and such that for any
[TABLE]
Proof.
We start with the estimate on norm.
[TABLE]
We estimate that is the first term plus second term. We apply the mean value theorem for the two variables function ,
[TABLE]
where . We estimate
[TABLE]
where we used (1.4) at the last inequality. We therefore obtain
[TABLE]
where we used Re and in (5.6). We may write
[TABLE]
We integrate this on the interval and apply (2.1) to have
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
for sufficiently large . We next estimate norm.
[TABLE]
We estimate the sum of second and forth terms which is the worst if we consider the modulus of it in the sense of decay as . However it can be estimated since we just consider the real part of it likely as
[TABLE]
Next we estimate the first term plus the third term where the coefficient is estimated by its modulus. We use Lemma 2 for to have
[TABLE]
where we used at the beginning of the second line. In the long run, we have
[TABLE]
We estimate the first term in (5.9). We separate it into the follwing two cases.
[TABLE]
In the former case (5.10), we estimate
[TABLE]
where we apply Hölder inequality and Gagliard-Nirenberg inequality with
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
respectively. These satisfy
[TABLE]
which is provided by (5.10). We estimate the power of in (5.12). From (4.3) and (5.7) we have
[TABLE]
We require that this is strictly greater than . For simplisity we take and then gives
[TABLE]
and so
[TABLE]
which is provided by (1.4). In the latter case (5.11), we follow the arguments in [2].
[TABLE]
The first term of this is the same with the second term in (5.9), and we estimate later. We estimate the second term of this by Cauchy Schwarz and with any
[TABLE]
We absorb the first term of this into (5.8). We estimate the second term
[TABLE]
where we used . The Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality also uses the condition
[TABLE]
Therefore the right hand side of (5.14) is bounded by with some and . We also follow the estimates in [2] for the sencond and third terms in (5.9). We use Hölder inequality and (4.2), (4.3) and (4.5) to have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
We set and , we saw for sufficiently large . We then estimate (5.9) as
[TABLE]
This and give the value such that
[TABLE]
uniformly with respect to . Integrate this and we have (5.4). Next we show (5.5). We set and estimate
[TABLE]
The second term is zero and the third term is non negative from the same calculation with in (5.6). We only have to estimate the first term and fourth term like as
[TABLE]
We then have from (5.15) and (4.6)
[TABLE]
Integrate this to have
[TABLE]
We obtain the result (5.5) by using Fatou’s lemma as . ∎
6. Construction of blow up solution
Proof.
We construct the solution for Theorem (1.1) from the approximate solution and the difference function above. We set for ,
[TABLE]
In the following, we consider since we had in (5.4). We also remember . Then we have and
[TABLE]
on . It holds by (5.4) and (5.5)
[TABLE]
We estimate
[TABLE]
for sufficiently large and any . From the embeddings and ,
[TABLE]
and therefore
[TABLE]
with some for any and any . Given any , if we restrict the interval , the sequence is bounded in . Now we apply the Aubin-Lions lemma with
[TABLE]
to conclude that there exists a subsequence which is still written by and the limits such that
[TABLE]
We apply the diagonal argument. For sufficiently large , we set such as . We obtain (6.3) for each . We take the subsequence diagonally to have the limt which belongs to and satisfies
[TABLE]
for any . From this and the boundedness (6.2), we utilize Lemma 3 with to obtain four kinds of convergence (2.4), (2.5), (2.6) and (2.8) on the same . Therefore the limit satisfies the equation which corresponds to (6.1),
[TABLE]
The function satisfies (1.1) and for any ,
