On the collapse of trial solutions for a damped-driven non-linear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

We consider the focusing 2D non-linear Schrödinger equation, perturbed by a damping term, and driven by multiplicative noise. We show that a physically motivated trial solution does not collapse for any admissible initial condition although the exponent of the non-linearity is critical. Our method is based on the construction of a global solution to a singular stochastic Hamiltonian system used to connect trial solution and Schrödinger equation.
