Abstract
This notes studies the inhomogeneous non-linear Schrödinger equations with a harmonic potential
Indeed, following the methods of Fukuizumi and Ohta (Differ Integral Equ 16(6):691–706, 2003), Ohta (Funccialaj Ekvacioj 61:135–143, 2018), the non-linear and strong instability of standing waves are obtained in the two different regimes \(b>0\) and \(b<0\).

Take \(\epsilon >0\).

A.
First case \(-2<b<0\).
Take \((u_n)\) a bounded sequence of H. Without loss of generality, we assume that \((u_n)\) converges weakly to zero in H. Our purpose is to prove that \(\Vert u_n\Vert _{L^{p}(|x|^{b}\,dx)}\rightarrow 0.\) Using Hölder estimate, if \((q,q')\) satisfying \(q'|b|<N\), one gets
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x|\le \epsilon }|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx\le & {} \Vert u_n\Vert _{pq}^{p}\Vert |x|^{b}\Vert _{q'}\\\le & {} C\Vert u_n\Vert _{pq}^{p}\int _0^\epsilon \frac{dt}{t^{-q'b-N+1}}\\\le & {} C\Vert u_n\Vert _{pq}^{p}\epsilon ^{N+q'b}. \end{aligned}$$-

First sub-case \(N\ge 3\).
Now, since \(p<p^*\), we have \(N+\frac{2Nb}{2N-p(N-2)}>0\). Taking \(q:=\frac{2N}{p(N-2)}\) and using Sobolev injections, it follows that there exists \(\mu >0\) such that
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x|\le \epsilon }|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx\le & {} C\Vert u_n\Vert _{H^1}^{p}\epsilon ^{N+q'b}\\\le & {} C\epsilon ^{N+\frac{2Nb}{2N-p(N-2)}}\\\le & {} C\epsilon ^\mu . \end{aligned}$$ -
2.
Second sub-case \(N=2\).
Taking \(q>>1\) and using Sobolev injections, it follows that for \(b>-N\), there exists \(\mu >0\) such that
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x|\le \epsilon }|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx\le & {} C\Vert u_n\Vert _{H^1}^{p}\epsilon ^{N+q'b}\\\le & {} C\epsilon ^{N+q'b}\\\le & {} C\epsilon ^\mu . \end{aligned}$$
On the other hand, by Sobolev injections,
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x|\ge \epsilon }|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx \le \epsilon ^{b}\Vert u_n\Vert _{p}^{p}. \end{aligned}$$Since \(\epsilon \) is arbitrary, one obtains \(\int _{\mathbb {R}^N}|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx\rightarrow 0\) as \(n\rightarrow \infty .\) The proof is complete.

Second case \(b\ge 0\).
Take \((u_n)\) a bounded sequence of \(\Sigma .\) Without loss of generality, we assume that \((u_n)\) converges weakly to zero in \(\Sigma .\) Our purpose is to prove that \(\Vert u_n\Vert _{L^{p}(|x|^{b}\,dx)}\rightarrow 0.\) Write
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x|\le \epsilon }|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx\le C\Vert u_n\Vert _{p}^{p}\rightarrow 0. \end{aligned}$$Moreover, with Strauss inequality and Rellich Theorem,
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{\epsilon \le |x|\le \frac{1}{\epsilon }}|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx\le C\Vert u_n\Vert _{L^\infty (\epsilon \le |x|\le \frac{1}{\epsilon })}^{p-2} \int _{\epsilon \le |x|\le \frac{1}{\epsilon }}|u_n|^2\,dx\rightarrow 0. \end{aligned}$$Now, with Strauss inequality
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x|\ge \frac{1}{\epsilon }}|x|^{b}|u_n|^{p}\,dx= & {} \int _{|x|\ge \frac{1}{\epsilon }}|x|^{b-2-(p-2)\frac{N-1}{2}}(|x|^{\frac{N-1}{2}}|u_n|)^{p-2}|x|^2|u_n|^2\,dx\\\le & {} C\int _{|x|\ge \frac{1}{\epsilon }}|x|^{b-2-(p-2)\frac{N-1}{2}}|x|^2|u_n|^2\,dx\\\le & {} C\epsilon ^{(p-2)\frac{N-1}{2}-b+2}. \end{aligned}$$The proof is achieved because \({b-2-(p-2)\frac{N-1}{2}}<0.\)
