Universal quartic-root blowup conjecture for peak-type biharmonic NLS solutions

From papers

Let ψ\psi be a peak-type singular solution of the supercritical biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Let SB(ρ)S_{\mathrm B}(\rho) be a radial self-similar profile satisfying

νSB+iκ44(2σSB+ρSB)Δρ2SB+SB2σSB=0,-\nu S_{\mathrm B}+i\frac{\kappa^4}{4}\left(\frac{2}{\sigma}S_{\mathrm B}+\rho S_{\mathrm B}'\right)-\Delta_\rho^2S_{\mathrm B}+|S_{\mathrm B}|^{2\sigma}S_{\mathrm B}=0,

with SB(0)=SB(0)=0S_{\mathrm B}'(0)=S_{\mathrm B}”'(0)=0, SB()=0S_{\mathrm B}(\infty)=0, and H[SB]=0H[S_{\mathrm B}]=0. Universal quartic-root blowup conjecture. The collapsing core approaches ψSB\psi_{S_{\mathrm B}}; the profile is the unique admissible solution, SBRBS_{\mathrm B}\neq R_{\mathrm B}, and

L(t)κ(Tct)1/4,κ>0.L(t)\sim\kappa(T_{\rm c}-t)^{1/4},\qquad \kappa>0.

Moreover,

κ=limtTcL(t)(Tct)1/4=κadmis.(σ,d,ν),\kappa=\lim_{t\to T_{\rm c}}\frac{L(t)}{(T_{\rm c}-t)^{1/4}}=\kappa^{\rm admis.}(\sigma,d,\nu),

so the blowup coefficient is universal and independent of the initial condition. These are conjectural conclusions summarized by the paper; the admissible profile and its selection remain unproved.
