<p>where $ \psi: \mathbb{R}^+\times \mathbb{R}^D\rightarrow \mathbb{C} $ is the wave function, $ p = 3+\frac{4}{D} $. It is known that the set of standing waves is stable for $ 1 < p < 3+\frac{4}{D} $ and it is strongly unstable for $ 3+\frac{4}{D} < p < \frac{3D+2}{D-2} $. In this paper, we prove that the standing waves are strongly unstable for $ p = 3+\frac{4}{D} $. Moreover, a property on the set of the ground states of (Q) is investigated.</p></abstract>
