Abstract
Collapse of -dimensional beams in the inhomogeneous one-dimensional quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation is analyzed both numerically and analytically. It is shown that in the vicinity of a narrow attractive inhomogeneity, the collapse of beams in which the homogeneous medium would blow up may be delayed and even arrested.
