We prove the Hopf boundary point lemma for solutions of the Dirichlet problem involving the Schr\"odinger operator $- \Delta + V$ with a nonnegative potential $V$ which merely belongs to $L_{\mathrm{loc}}^1(\Omega)$. More precisely, if $u…

The blowup is studied for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation $iu_{t}+\Delta u+ |u|^{p-1}u=0$ with $p$ is odd and $p\ge 1+\frac 4{N-2}$ (the energy-critical or energy-supercritical case). It is shown that the solution with negative…
