In this article, we prove the (uniform) global exponential stabilization of the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the torus $(\mathbb{R}/2 \pi \mathbb{Z})^d$, for $d=1$, $2$ or $3$, with a linear damping localized in a subset of the torus satisfying some geometrical assumptions. In particular, this answers an open question of Dehman, Gérard and Lebeau from 2006. Our approach is based on three ingredients. First, we prove the well-posedness of the closed-loop system in Bourgain spaces. Secondly, we derive new Carleman estimates for the nonlinear equation by directly including the cubic term in the conjugated operator. Thirdly, by conjugating with energy estimates and Morawetz multipliers method, we then deduce quantitative observability estimates leading to the uniform exponential decay of the total energy of the system. As a corollary of the global stabilization result, we obtain an upper bound of the minimal time of the global null-controllability of the nonlinear equation by using a stabilization procedure and a local null-controllability result.

Dans cet article, nous prouvons la stabilisation exponentielle globale (uniforme) de l’équation de Schrödinger non linéaire défocalisationte cubique sur le tore $(\mathbb{R}/2 \pi \mathbb{Z})^d$, pour $d=1$, $2$ ou $3$, avec un amortissement linéaire localisé dans un sous-ensemble du tore satisfaisant certaines hypothèses géométriques. Cela répond notamment à une question ouverte de Dehman, Gérard et Lebeau de 2006. Notre approche repose sur trois ingrédients. Premièrement, nous prouvons le caractère bien posé du système en boucle fermée dans les espaces de Bourgain. Deuxièmement, nous obtenons de nouvelles estimations de Carleman pour l’équation non linéaire en incluant directement le terme cubique dans l’opérateur conjugué. Troisièmement, en conjuguant les estimations d’énergie et la méthode des multiplicateurs de Morawetz, nous en déduisons ensuite des estimations d’observabilité quantitative conduisant à la décroissance exponentielle uniforme de l’énergie totale du système. Comme corollaire du résultat de stabilisation globale, nous obtenons une borne supérieure sur le temps minimal de contrôlabilité globale à zéro de l’équation non linéaire en utilisant une procédure de stabilisation et un résultat de contrôlabilité locale à zéro.
