The Biharmonic Heat Equation with General Dynamic Boundary Conditions

In this work, we initiate the study of the biharmonic heat equation in a spatial bounded domain subject to dynamic boundary conditions involving the bi-Laplace-Beltrami operator on the boundary. The boundary heat equation is coupled to the interior one via a normal derivative term. By combining the sesquilinear form method and semigroup theory, we establish substantial qualitative properties of the fourth-order parabolic equation; in particular, the self-adjointness of the associated operator, compactness of its resolvent, and further spectral properties. We also investigate the generation of a $C_0$-semigroup and analyze its main properties: analyticity, compactness, eventual positivity, and eventual $L^\infty$-contractivity.

Maximal regularity for time-fractional Schrödinger equations and application to nonlinear equations

We study the maximal regularity problem for abstract time-fractional Schrödinger equations $\partial_t^α(u-u_0) -\mathrm{i} A u=f$, with a fractional derivative $\partial_t^α$ of order $α\in (0,1)$. We assume that $A$ is a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent on a Hilbert space $H$. First, we prove the maximal $L^2$-regularity by leveraging properties of Mittag-Leffler functions with an imaginary argument. Compared to existing results for the subdiffusion equations, our proof avoids using the complete monotonicity of Mittag-Leffler functions, which seems difficult to prove within the setting of an imaginary argument. Then, we prove the maximal $L^p$-regularity for $p\in (1,\infty)$ using the operator-valued version of Mikhlin's multiplier theorem. Finally, we apply the maximal regularity results to prove the local well-posedness of quasilinear and semilinear time-fractional Schrödinger equations.

Inverse problems for time-fractional Schrödinger equations

We study some inverse problems for time-fractional Schrödinger equations involving the Caputo derivative of fractional order $α\in (0,1)$. We prove refined uniqueness results from sets of positive Lebesgue measure for various problems by weakening the regularity of initial data.

Forward and backward problems for abstract time-fractional Schrödinger equations

We investigate forward and backward problems associated with abstract time-fractional Schrödinger equations $\mathrm{i}^ν\partial_t^αu(t) + A u(t)=0$, $α\in (0,1)\cup (1,2)$ and $ν\in\{1,α\}$, where $A$ is a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent on a Hilbert space $H$. This kind of equation, which incorporates the Caputo time-fractional derivative of order $α$, models quantum systems with memory effects and anomalous wave propagation. We first establish the well-posedness of the forward problems in two scenarios: ($ν=1,\,$ $α\in (0,1)$) and ($ν=α,\,$ $α\in (0,1)\cup (1,2)$). Then, we prove well-posedness and stability results for the backward problems depending on the two cases $ν=1$ and $ν=α$. Our approach employs the solution's eigenvector expansion along with the properties of the Mittag-Leffler functions, including the distribution of zeros and asymptotic expansions. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of some open problems.
