Observability of Schr\"odinger equations in Euclidean space

In this paper we introduce a new dynamical condition, the comb geometric control condition, which is sufficient for observability of the Schr\"odinger equation in Euclidean space. We provide examples which show this condition is strictly weaker than the observation set being open and periodic. We also prove for the fractional Schr\"odinger equation that for observation functions which are uniformly continuous, the geometric control condition is equivalent to observability and implies arbitrary time observability. The proofs rely on uncertainty principles for frequency localized functions which are proved using a semiclassical propagation of singularities approach.

Dominating Sets in Bergman Spaces on Strongly Pseudoconvex Domains

We obtain local estimates, also called propagation of smallness or Remez-type inequalities, for analytic functions in several variables. Using Carleman estimates, we obtain a three sphere-type inequality, where the outer two spheres can be any sets satisfying a boundary separation property, and the inner sphere can be any set of positive Lebesgue measure. We apply this local result to characterize the dominating sets for Bergman spaces on strongly pseudoconvex domains in terms of a density condition or a testing condition on the reproducing kernels. Our methods also yield a sufficient condition for arbitrary domains and lower-dimensional sets.

Uncertainty Principles Associated to Sets Satisfying the Geometric Control Condition

In this paper, we study forms of the uncertainty principle suggested by problems in control theory. We obtain a version of the classical Paneah-Logvinenko-Sereda theorem for the annulus. More precisely, we show that a function with spectrum in an annulus of a given thickness can be bounded, in $L^2$-norm, from above by its restriction to a neighborhood of a GCC set, with constant independent of the radius of the annulus. We apply this result to obtain energy decay rates for damped fractional wave equations, extending the work of Malhi and Stanislavova to both the higher-dimensional and non-periodic setting.

Source Reconstruction and Stability via Boundary Control of Abstract Viscoelastic Systems

We study the inverse source problem for a class of viscoelastic systems from a single boundary measurement in a general spatial dimension. We give specific reconstruction formula and stability estimate for the source in terms of the boundary measurement. Our approaches rely on the exact boundary controllability of the corresponding viscoelastic systems for which we also provide a new proof based on a modification of the well-known moment method.

On the Energy Decay Rate of the Fractional Wave Equation on $\mathbb{R}$ with Relatively Dense Damping

We establish upper bounds for the decay rate of the energy of the damped fractional wave equation when the averages of the damping coefficient on all intervals of a fixed length are bounded below. If the power of the fractional Laplacian, $s$, is between 0 and 2, the decay is polynomial. For $s \ge 2$, the decay is exponential. Second, we show that our assumption on the damping is necessary for the energy to decay exponentially.
