Abstract In this paper we study the existence as well as uniform decay rates of the energy associated with the nonlinear damped Schrödinger equation, i u t + Δ u + | u | α u - g ( u t ) = 0 in Ω × ( 0 , ∞ ) , iu_{t}+\Delta u+|u|^{\alpha}u-g(u_{t})=0\quad\text{in }\Omega\times(0,\infty), subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, where Ω ⊂ ℝ n {\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}} , n ≤ 3 {n\leq 3} , is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂ Ω = Γ {\partial\Omega=\Gamma} and α = 2 , 3 {\alpha=2,3} . Our goal is to consider a different approach than the one used in [B. Dehman, P. Gérard and G. Lebeau, Stabilization and control for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a compact surface, Math. Z. 254 2006, 4, 729–749], so instead than using the properties of pseudo-differential operators introduced by cited authors, we consider a nonlinear damping, so that we remark that no growth assumptions on g ( z ) {g(z)} are made near the origin.
