We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear self-focusing Schrödinger equation in ℝNwith an inhomogeneous smooth damping coefficient and we prove, for suitable initial data, and in the spirit of the seminal work of R. Glassey, a blowup result for the corresponding local solutions. We also give some lower bound estimates for the blowing-up solutions.

AbstractWe consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the whole space. After introducing a weaker concept of finite speed of propagation, we show that the concatenation of initial data gives rise to solutions whose time of existence increases as one translates one of the initial data. Moreover, we show that, given global decaying solutions with initial data u0, v0, if |y| is large, then the concatenated initial data u0 + v0(· − y) gives rise to globally decaying solutions.
