    Self-focusing in the damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation (English)
    0 references
    The author analyzes the effect of damping (absorption) on critical self-focusing. The threshold value \(\delta_{th}\) is identified for the damping parameter \(\delta\) such that when \(\delta>\delta_{th}\) damping arrests blowup. When \(\delta<\delta_{th}\), the solution blows up at the same asymptotic rate as the undamped nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
