Unique Continuation for Fractional Schrödinger Equations with Rough Potentials

This article deals with the weak and strong unique continuation principle for fractional Schrödinger equations with scaling-critical and rough potentials via Carleman estimates. Our methods extend to “variable coefficient” versions of fractional Schrödinger equations and operators on non-flat domains.     

Intrinsic Ultracontractivity for Schrödinger Operators Based on Fractional Laplacians

We study the Feynman-Kac semigroup generated by the Schrödinger operator based on the fractional Laplacian ??(???Δ)^α/2???q in R ^d , for q?≥?0, α?∈?(0,2). We obtain sharp estimates of the first eigenfunction φ ₁ of the Schrödinger operator and conditions equivalent to intrinsic ultracontractivity of the Feynman-Kac semigroup. For potentials q such that lim_{|x| →?∞?} q(x)?=?∞ and comparable on unit balls we obtain that φ ₁(x) is comparable to (|x|?+?1)^???d???α (q(x)?+?1)^???1 and intrinsic ultracontractivity holds iff lim_{|x| →?∞?} q(x)/log|x|?=?∞. Proofs are based on uniform estimates of q-harmonic functions.     

Fractional Schrödinger equation; solvability and connection with classical Schrödinger equation

We consider the Dirichlet boundary problem for semilinear fractional Schrödinger equation with subcritical nonlinear term. Local and global in time solvability and regularity properties of solutions are discussed. But our main task is to describe the connections of the fractional equation with the classical nonlinear Schrödinger equation, including convergence of the linear semigroups and continuity of the nonlinear semigroups when the fractional exponent α approaches 1.     

Spherical Perturbations of Schrödinger Equations

We give conditions on radial nonnegative weights $W_1We give conditions on radial nonnegative weights and on , for which the a priori inequality holds with constant independent of . Here is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere . Due to the relation between and the tangential component of the gradient, , we obtain some "Morawetz-type" estimates for on . As a consequence we establish some new estimates for the free Schr?dinger propagator , which may be viewed as certain refinements of the -(super)smoothness estimates of Kato and Yajima. These results, in turn, lead to the well-posedness of the initial value problem for certain time dependent first order spherical perturbations of the dimensional Schr?dinger equation.     

Normalized Solutions of Schrödinger Equations with Potentially Bounded Measures

Given a potentially bounded signed measure on a Brelot space (X,) with Green function G, it is well known that -harmonic functions (i.e., in the classical case, finely continuous versions of solutions to u–u=0) may be very discontinuous. In this paper it is shown that under very general assumptions on G (satisfied for large classes of elliptic second-order linear differential operators) normalized perturbation, however, leads to a Brelot space (X, ) admitting a Green function T (G) which is locally (or even globally) comparable with G and has all properties required of G before. In particular, iterated perturbation is possible. Moreover, intrinsic Hölder continuity of quotients of harmonic functions with respect to the local quasimetric :=(G ^–1+^* G ^–1)/2 yields -Hölder continuity for quotients of -harmonic functions as well.     

Linearized Transformed $L1$ Galerkin FEMs with Unconditional Convergence for Nonlinear Time Fractional Schrödinger Equations

A linearized transformed $L1$ Galerkin finite element method (FEM) is presented for numerically solving the multi-dimensional time fractional Schrödingerequations. Unconditionally optimal error estimates of the fully-discrete scheme areproved. Such error estimates are obtained by combining a new discrete fractionalGrönwall inequality, the corresponding Sobolev embedding theorems and some inverse inequalities. While the previous unconditional convergence results are usuallyobtained by using the temporal-spatial error spitting approaches. Numerical examples are presented to confirm the theoretical results.     

Dispersion Estimates for Spherical Schrödinger Equations

We derive a dispersion estimate for one-dimensional perturbed radial Schrödinger operators. We also derive several new estimates for solutions of the underlying differential equation and investigate the behavior of the Jost function near the edge of the continuous spectrum.     

Group Classification of Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

We propose an approach to problems of group classification. By using this approach, we perform a complete group classification of nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form i _t + + F(, *) = 0.     

Stochastic Nonlinear Equations of Schrödinger Type

In this article, the solution for a stochastic nonlinear equation of Schrödinger type, which is perturbed by an infinite dimensional Wiener process, is investigated. The existence of the solution is proved by using the Galerkin method. Moment estimates for the solution are also derived. Examples from physics are given in the final part of the article.     

Multi-bump Bound States of Schrödinger Equations with a Critical Frequency

We consider existence and qualitative properties of standing wave solutions $\Psi(x,t) = e^{-iEt/h}u(x)We consider existence and qualitative properties of standing wave solutions to the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation with E being a critical frequency in the sense that inf . We verify that if the zero set of W − E has several isolated points x _i () near which W − E is almost exponentially flat with approximately the same behavior, then for h > 0 small enough, there exists, for any integer k, , a standing wave solution which concentrates simultaneously on , where is any given subset of . This generalizes the result of Byeon and Wang in 3 (Arch Rat Mech Anal 165: 295–316, 2002).Supported by the Alexander von Humboldt foundation and NSFC(No:10571069).     

Nonlinear PDEs with Modulated Dispersion I: Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

We start a study of various nonlinear PDEs under the effect of a modulation in time of the dispersive term. In particular in this paper we consider the modulated non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLS) in dimension 1 and 2 and the derivative NLS in dimension 1. We introduce a deterministic notion of “irregularity” for the modulation and obtain local and global results similar to those valid without modulation. In some situations, we show how the irregularity of the modulation improves the well–posedness theory of the equations. We develop two different approaches to the analysis of the effects of the modulation. A first approach is based on novel estimates for the regularizing effect of the modulated dispersion on the non-linear term using the theory of controlled paths. A second approach is an extension of a Strichartz estimated first obtained by Debussche and Tsutsumi in the case of the Brownian modulation for the quintic NLS.     

Weak Dispersive Estimates for Schrödinger Equations with Long Range Potentials

We prove local smoothing estimates for the Schrödinger initial value problem with data in the energy space L ²(? ^d ), d ≥ 2 and a general class of potentials. In the repulsive setting we have to assume just a power like decay (1 + |x|)^?γ for some γ > 0. Also attractive perturbations are considered. The estimates hold for all time and as a consequence a weak dispersion of the solution is obtained. The proofs are based on similar estimates for the corresponding stationary Helmholtz equation and Kato H-smooth theory.     

Existence of Positive Solutions for a Class of Critical Fractional Schrödinger Equations with Potential Vanishing at Infinity

In this paper, we investigate the following critical fractional Schrödinger equation

$$\begin{aligned} (-\Delta )^su+V(x)u=|u|^{2_s^*-2}u+\lambda K(x)f(u), \ x \in \mathbb {R}^N, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\lambda >0\), \(0<s<1\), \((-\Delta )^s\) denotes the fractional Laplacian of order s, \(V, \ K\) are nonnegative continuous functions satisfying some conditions and f is a continuous function, \(N>2s\) and \(2_s^*=\frac{2N}{N-2s}\). We prove that the equation has a positive solution for large \(\lambda \) by the variational method.

Schrödinger Equations on Damek–Ricci Spaces

In this paper we consider the Laplace–Beltrami operator Δ on Damek–Ricci spaces and derive pointwise estimates for the kernel of e ^τΔ, when τ ∈ ?* with Re τ ≥0. When τ ∈i?*, we obtain in particular pointwise estimates of the Schrödinger kernel associated with Δ. We then prove Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation, for a family of admissible pairs which is larger than in the Euclidean case. This extends the results obtained by Anker and Pierfelice [4 Anker , J.-P. , Pierfelice , V. ( 2009 ). Nonlinear Schrödinger equation on real hyperbolic spaces . Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré (C) Non Linear Analysis 26 : 1853 – 1869 . [Google Scholar]] on real hyperbolic spaces. As a further application, we study the dispersive properties of the Schrödinger equation associated with a distinguished Laplacian on Damek–Ricci spaces, showing that in this case the standard L ¹ → L ^∞ estimate fails while suitable weighted Strichartz estimates hold.
