contents For any $ν\in(\frac 37,\frac12)$, we prove the existence of an $H^1$ solution $u$ of the mass critical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation on the time interval $(0,T_0]$, for some $T_0>0$, which blows up at the time $t=0$ and at the point $x=0$ with the rate $\|\partial_x u (t,x)\|_{L^2} \approx t^{-ν}$. Such a blowup rate is associated to a blowup residue of the form $r_α(x)= x^{α-\frac 12}$ for $x>0$ close to the blowup point, where $α=\frac{3ν-1}{2-4ν}$. The condition $ν\in(\frac37,\frac12)$ is equivalent to $α>1$, which corresponds to the full range for which the residue $r_α$ belongs to $H^1$. Such blowup at a finite point is in contrast with all the blowup solutions constructed for this equation, except the one constructed previously by the authors corresponding to the special value $ν=\frac 25$. Finally, we present some open problems regarding the blowup phenomenon for the mass critical gKdV equation.

For any $ν\in(\frac 37,\frac12)$, we prove the existence of an $H^1$ solution $u$ of the mass critical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation on the time interval $(0,T_0]$, for some $T_0>0$, which blows up at the time $t=0$ and at the point $x=0$ with the rate $\|\partial_x u (t,x)\|_{L^2} \approx t^{-ν}$. Such a blowup rate is associated to a blowup residue of the form $r_α(x)= x^{α-\frac 12}$ for $x>0$ close to the blowup point, where $α=\frac{3ν-1}{2-4ν}$. The condition $ν\in(\frac37,\frac12)$ is equivalent to $α>1$, which corresponds to the full range for which the residue $r_α$ belongs to $H^1$. Such blowup at a finite point is in contrast with all the blowup solutions constructed for this equation, except the one constructed previously by the authors corresponding to the special value $ν=\frac 25$. Finally, we present some open problems regarding the blowup phenomenon for the mass critical gKdV equation.
