We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
 ${u_t} = i\Delta u + {\left| u \right|^\alpha }u\;\;\;\;{\rm{on}}\;\;\;{\mathbb{R}^N},\;\;\alpha >0$
for
 $H^1$
-subcritical or critical nonlinearities:
 $(N-2) α ≤ 4$
. Under the additional technical assumptions
 $α≥ 2$
(and thus
 $N≤4$
), we construct
 $H^1$
solutions that blow up in finite time with explicit blow-up profiles and blow-up rates. In particular, blowup can occur at any given finite set of points of
 $\mathbb{R}^N$
.
The construction involves explicit functions
 $U$
, solutions of the ordinary differential equation
 $U_t=|U|^α U$
. In the simplest case,
 $U(t,x)=(|x|^k-α t)^{-\frac 1α}$
for
 $t<0$
,
 $x∈ \mathbb{R}^N$
. For
 $k$
sufficiently large,
 $U$
satisfies
 $|Δ U|\ll U_t$
close to the blow-up point
 $(t,x)=(0,0)$
, so that it is a suitable approximate solution of the problem. To construct an actual solution u close to U, we use energy estimates and a compactness argument.
