Finite time extinction by nonlinear damping for Schrodinger equation

Analysis of PDEs 2010-09-16 v2

Abstract

We consider the Schrodinger equation on a compact manifold, in the presence of a nonlinear damping term, which is homogeneous and sublinear. For initial data in the energy space, we construct a weak solution, defined for all positive time, which is shown to be unique. In the one-dimensional case, we show that it becomes zero in finite time. In the two and three-dimensional cases, we prove the same result under the assumption of extra regularity on the initial datum.
