Abstract

We study the strong instability of ground-state standing waves eiωtϕω(x)e^{i\omega t}\phi_\omega(x) for NN-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with double power nonlinearity. One is L2L^2-subcritical, and the other is L2L^2-supercritical. The strong instability of standing waves with positive energy was proven by Ohta and Yamaguchi (2015). In this paper, we improve the previous result, that is, we prove that if λ2Sω(ϕωλ)λ=10\partial_\lambda^2S_\omega(\phi_\omega^\lambda)|_{\lambda=1}\le0, the standing wave is strongly unstable, where SωS_\omega is the action, and ϕωλ(x):=λN/2ϕω(λx)\phi_\omega^\lambda(x)\mathrel{\mathop:}=\lambda^{N/2}\phi_\omega(\lambda x) is the L2L^2-invariant scaling.
