Energy-critical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with two power-type nonlinearities

TL;DR
The paper studies the DINLS with two inhomogeneous nonlinearities, where one term is energy-critical in $\dot H^1$, and proves global well-posedness in several parameter regimes via a perturbative-in-energy framework, kinetic-energy control, and stability theory for the energy-critical INLS. It develops local well-posedness results for the DINLS, then extends them globally in settings where the energy and mass controls close, using fixed-point and perturbation arguments. In parallel, it derives finite-time blow-up criteria through virial identities in multiple parameter regimes, highlighting the delicate balance between the two nonlinearities and their inhomogeneities. The results advance the understanding of global dynamics and blow-up phenomena for INLS with dual nonlinearities, providing a blueprint for analyzing similarly structured dispersive PDEs with competing energy-critical and intercritical effects.
Abstract
We consider the initial value problem for the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with double nonlinearities (DINLS) \begin{equation*} i \partial_t u + Δu = λ_1 |x|^{-b_1}|u|^{p_1}u + λ_2|x|^{-b_2}|u|^{\frac{4-2b_2}{N-2}}u, \end{equation*} where $λ_1,λ_2\in \mathbb{R}$, $3\leq N<6$ and $0<b_1,b_2<\min\{2,\frac{6-N}{2}\}$. In this paper, we establish global well-posedness results for certain parameter regimes and prove finite-time blow-up phenomena under specific conditions. Our analysis relies on stability theory, energy estimates, and virial identities adapted to the DINLS model.
