Inverse Quantum Potential Reconstruction via Generalized Bertlmann-Martin Inequalities

Abstract

Reconstructing a radial (1D) quantum potential, V(r), from a few bound-state energies is a long-standing inverse problem because limited spectral data must constrain an entire potential. We present a Laplace-moment reconstruction pipeline that links the Bertlmann-Martin gap bound to generalized Bertlmann-Martin (GBM) even-moment ladders, continues the Laplace transform with Pade approximants, and inverts the transform to recover rho(r) and V(r). Odd moments are supplied by a physically consistent interpolation scheme. Benchmark settings and diagnostics for Coulomb, harmonic oscillator, Hulthen, Kratzer, and hyperbolic-well cases are stated so each approximation stage can be assessed under a common empirical basis. The conclusions are therefore limited to the reported benchmark settings rather than offered as universal method claims.

Regular hyperbolic tilings have no $\ell^2$ eigenfunctions

We show that the adjacency operator of the $1$-skeleton of any regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane has no nonzero square-integrable eigenfunctions. As a consequence, the same holds for every infinite connected regular graph admitting a proper planar embedding with regular dual.

Inverse Heat Source Problems from Boundary Flux and Interior Observations on Sets of Low Hausdorff Dimension

This paper investigates conditional stability for inverse source problems for the heat equation with a known temporal factor and an unknown spatial component in a bounded $C^{1,1}$ domain. We focus on observations supported on sets of low Hausdorff dimension and establish conditional stability in this setting. For boundary observations on compact sets of positive $q$-dimensional Hausdorff content, we establish logarithmic stability from full-time boundary flux observations and double-logarithmic stability from delayed-time boundary flux observations. The admissible dimensional ranges are $q>d-2$ when the observation set is contained in a flat boundary patch and $q>d-1-c_{d+1}$ on a general $C^{1,1}$ boundary, where $c_{d+1}>0$ depends only on the dimension. A key ingredient in deriving these results is a new boundary spectral inequality for the Dirichlet Laplacian, which controls a finite Dirichlet spectral sum through observations of the normal derivative of its elliptic extension on such a boundary set. Our results also cover inverse heat source problems with interior observations on sets of positive $q$-dimensional Hausdorff content for some $q>d-1$, yielding logarithmic stability from full-time observations for general sources in $H_0^1(\Omega)$ and H\"older stability from terminal-time observations for sources in a suitable spectral Gevrey class.

Resolvent bounds and eigenvalue estimates of generalized Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials on compact manifolds

We extend Cuenin's compact-manifold spectral bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials to a general pseudodifferential setting. More precisely, we study operators \(P+V\), where \(P\) is a positive self-adjoint elliptic classical pseudodifferential operator of positive order and \(V\) is complex-valued. The main analytic input is a resolvent principle showing that spectral cluster estimates for \(P\) imply \(L^p\)-\(L^{p'}\) resolvent estimates along suitable complex curves. Combined with Sogge's spectral cluster bounds, this yields exterior-region resolvent estimates extending those of Krupchyk and Uhlmann; we also prove direct resolvent bounds in the interior region. On Zoll manifolds, we discuss the sharpness of the resulting spectral bounds.
