Finite-time blowup for a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

Abstract

We prove that negative energy solutions of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation $e^{-i\theta }{u}_t=\Delta u+|u{|}^{\alpha }u$ blow up in finite time, where α>0 and π/2<θ<π/2. For a fixed initial value $u(0)$, we obtain estimates of the blow-up time $T_{max}^{\theta }$ as $\theta \to \pm \pi /2$. It turns out that $T_{max}^{\theta }$ stays bounded (respectively, goes to infinity) as $\theta \to \pm \pi /2$ in the case where the solution of the limiting nonlinear Schrödinger equation blows up in finite time (respectively, is global).
