Asymptotic behavior and life-span estimates for the damped inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation
We are interested in the behavior of solutions to the damped inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation $ i\partial_tu+Δu+μ|x|^{-b}|u|^αu+iau=0$, $μ\in\mathbb{C} $, $b>0$, $a \in \mathbb{C}$ such that $\Re \textit{e}(a) \geq 0$, $α>0$. We establish lower and upper bound estimates of the life-span. In particular for $a\geq 0$, we obtain explicit values $a_*,\; a^*$ such that if $a a^*,$ global existence holds. Also, we prove scattering results with precise decay rates for large damping. Some of the results are new even for $b=0.$
