Stability for the multi-dimensional Borg--Levinson theorem of the biharmonic operator

In this paper, we prove a conditional Hölder stability estimate for the inverse spectral problem of the biharmonic operator. The proof employs the resolvent estimate and a Weyl-type law for the biharmonic operator which were obtained by the authors in \cite{LYZ}. This work extends nontrivially the result in \cite{stefanov} from the second order Schrödinger operator to the fourth order biharmonic operator.

Decay estimates for bi-Schrödinger operators in dimension one

This paper is devoted to study the time decay estimates for bi-Schrödinger operators $H=Δ^{2}+V(x)$ in dimension one with decaying potentials $V(x)$. We first deduce the asymptotic expansions of resolvent of $H$ at zero energy threshold without/with the presence of resonances, and then characterize these resonance spaces corresponding to different types of zero resonance in suitable weighted spaces $L_s^2({\mathbf{R}})$. Next we use them to establish the sharp $L^1-L^\infty$ decay estimates of Schrödinger groups $e^{-itH}$ generated by bi-Schrödinger operators also with zero resonances. As a consequence, Strichartz estimates are obtained for the solution of fourth-order Schrödinger equations with potentials for initial data in $L^2({\mathbf{R}})$. In particular, it should be emphasized that the presence of zero resonances does not change the optimal time decay rate of $e^{-itH}$ in dimension one, except at requiring faster decay rate of the potential.

Kato smoothing, Strichartz and uniform Sobolev estimates for fractional operators with sharp Hardy potentials

Let $0<σ -C_{σ,n}$, we first prove {\it uniform resolvent estimates} of Kato--Yajima type for all $0<σ 1/2$ and {\it uniform Sobolev estimates} of Kenig--Ruiz--Sogge type for $σ\ge n/(n+1)$. These extend the same properties for the Schrödinger operator with the inverse-square potential to the higher-order and fractional cases. Moreover, we also obtain {\it improved Strichartz estimates with a gain of regularities} for general initial data if $1<σ<n/2$ and for radially symmetric data if $n/(2n-1)<σ\le1$, which extends the corresponding results for the free evolution to the case with Hardy potentials. These arguments can be further applied to a large class of higher-order inhomogeneous elliptic operators and even to certain long-range metric perturbations of the Laplace operator. Finally, in the critical coupling constant case (i.e. $a=-C_{σ,n}$), we show that the same results as in the subcritical case still hold for functions orthogonal to radial functions.

Direct and inverse problems for the Schrödinger operator in a three-dimensional planar waveguide

In this paper, we study the meromorphic continuation of the resolvent for the Schrödinger operator in a three-dimensional planar waveguide. We prove the existence of a resonance-free region and an upper bound for the resolvent. As an application, the direct source problem is shown to have a unique solution under some appropriate assumptions. Moreover, an increasing stability is achieved for the inverse source problem of the Schrödinger operator in the waveguide by using limited aperture Dirichlet data only at multiple frequencies. The stability estimate consists of the Lipschitz type data discrepancy and the high frequency tail of the source function, where the latter decreases as the upper bound of the frequency increases.

Stability for an inverse source problem of the damped biharmonic plate equation

This paper is concerned with the stability of the inverse source problem for the damped biharmonic plate equation in three dimensions. The stability estimate consists of the Lipschitz type data discrepancy and the high frequency tail of the source function, where the latter decreases as the upper bound of the frequency increases. The stability also shows exponential dependence on the constant damping coefficient. The analysis employs Carleman estimates and time decay estimates for the damped plate wave equation to obtain an exact observability bound and depends on the study of the resonance-free region and an upper bound of the resolvent of the biharmonic operator with respect to the complex wavenumber.

Stability for an inverse source problem of the biharmonic operator

In this paper, we study for the first time the stability of the inverse source problem for the biharmonic operator with a compactly supported potential in $\mathbb R^3$. Firstly, to connect the boundary data with the unknown source, we shall consider an eigenvalue problem for the bi-Schr$\ddot{\rm o}$dinger operator $Δ^2 + V(x)$ on a ball which contains the support of the potential $V$. We prove a Weyl-type law for the upper bounds of spherical normal derivatives of both the eigenfunctions $ϕ$ and their Laplacian $Δϕ$ corresponding to the bi-Schr$\ddot{\rm o}$dinger operator. This type of upper bounds was proved by Hassell and Tao for the Schr$\ddot{\rm o}$dinger operator. Secondly, we investigate the meromorphic continuation of the resolvent of the bi-Schr$\ddot{\rm o}$dinger operator and prove the existence of a resonance-free region and an estimate of $L^2_{\rm comp} - L^2_{\rm loc}$ type for the resolvent. As an application, we prove a bound of the analytic continuation of the data from the given data to the higher frequency data. Finally, we derive the stability estimate which consists of the Lipschitz type data discrepancy and the high frequency tail of the source function, where the latter decreases as the upper bound of the frequency increases.

Global existences and asymptotic behavior for semilinear heat equation

In this paper, we consider the global Cauchy problem for the $L^2$-critical semilinear heat equations $ \partial_t h=Δh\pm |h|^{\frac4d}h, $ with $h(0,x)=h_0$, where $h$ is an unknown real function defined on $ \R^+\times\R^d$. In most of the studies on this subject, the initial data $h_0$ belongs to Lebesgue spaces $L^p(\R^d)$ for some $p\ge 2$ or to subcritical Sobolev space $H^{s}(\R^d)$ with $s>0$. {\it First,} we prove that there exists some positive constant $γ_0$ depending on $d$, such that the Cauchy problem is locally and globally well-posed for any initial data $h_0$ which is radial, supported away from the origin and in the negative Sobolev space $\dot H^{-γ_0}(\R^d)$. In particular, it leads to local and global existences of the solutions to Cauchy problem considered above for the initial data in a proper subspace of $L^p(\R^d)$ with some $p<2$. {\it Secondly,} the sharp asymptotic behavior of the solutions ( i.e. $L^2$-decay estimates ) as $t\to +\infty$ are obtained with arbitrary large initial data $h_0\in \dot H^{-γ_0}(\R^d)$ in the defocusing case and in the focusing case with suitably small initial data $h_0$.

Decay estimates for higher order elliptic operators

This paper is mainly devoted to study time decay estimates of the higher-order Schrödinger type operator $H=(-Δ)^{m}+V(x)$ in $\mathbf{R}^{n}$ for $n>2m$ and $m\in\mathbf{N}$. For certain decay potentials $V(x)$, we first derive the asymptotic expansions of resolvent $R_{V}(z)$ near zero threshold with the presence of zero resonance or zero eigenvalue, as well identify the resonance space for each kind of zero resonance which displays different effects on time decay rate. Then we establish Kato-Jensen type estimates and local decay estimates for higher order Schrödinger propagator $e^{-itH}$ in the presence of zero resonance or zero eigenvalue. As a consequence, the endpoint Strichartz estimate and $L^{p}$-decay estimates can also be obtained. Finally, by a virial argument, a criterion on the absence of positive embedded eigenvalues is given for $(-Δ)^{m}+V(x)$ with a repulsive potential.

Time Asymptotic expansions of solution for fourth-order Schrödinger equation with zero resonance or eigenvalue

In this paper, we first deduce the asymptotic expansions of resolvent of $H=(-Δ)^2+V$ with the presence of resonance or eigenvalue at the degenerate zero threshold for $d\geq5$. In particular, we identify these resonance spaces for full kinds of zero resonances. As a consequence, we then establish the {\it time asymptotic expansions} and {\it Kato-Jensen estimates} for the solution of fourth-order Schrödinger equation under the presence of zero resonance or eigenvalue.

Global rough solution for $L^2$-critical semilinear heat equation in the negative Sobolev space

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy global problem for the $L^2$-critical semilinear heat equations $\partial_t h=Δh\pm |h|^{\frac4d}h, $ with $h(0,x)=h_0$, where $h$ is an unknown real function defined on $ \R^+\times\R^d$. In most of the studies on this subject, the initial data $h_0$ belongs to Lebesgue spaces $L^p(\R^d)$ for some $p\ge 2$ or to subcritical Sobolev space $H^{s}(\R^d)$ with $s>0$. We here prove that there exists some positive constant $\varepsilon_0$ depending on $d$, such that the Cauchy problem is locally and globally well-posed for any initial data $h_0$ which is radial, supported away from origin and in the negative Sobolev space $\dot H^{-\varepsilon_0}(\R^d)$ including $L^p(\R^d)$ with certain $p<2$ as subspace. Furthermore, unconditional uniqueness, and $L^2$-estimate both as time $t\to0$ and $t\to +\infty$ were considered.

Dynamics of the focusing 3D cubic NLS with slowly decaying potential

In this paper, we consider a 3d cubic focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with slowing decaying potentials. Adopting the variational method of Ibrahim-Masmoudi-Nakanishi \cite{IMN}, we obtain a condition for scattering. It is actually sharp in some sense since the solution will blow up if it's false. The proof of blow-up part relies on the method of Du-Wu-Zhang \cite{DWZ}

Scattering and blowup for $L^{2}$-supercritical and $\dot{H}^{2}$-subcritical biharmonic NLS with potentials

We mainly consider the focusing biharmonic Schrödinger equation with a large radial repulsive potential $V(x)$: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} iu_{t}+(Δ^2+V)u-|u|^{p-1}u=0,\;\;(t,x) \in {\bf{R}\times{\bf{R}}^{N}}, u(0, x)=u_{0}(x)\in H^{2}({\bf{R}}^{N}), \end{aligned}\right. \end{equation*} If $N>8$, \ $1+\frac{8}{N} N+4$, then we firstly prove a global well-posedness and scattering result for the radial data $u_0\in H^2({\bf R}^N)$ which satisfies that $$ M(u_0)^{\frac{2-s_c}{s_c}}E(u_0) \|Q\|^{\frac{2-s_c}{s_c}}_{L^{2}}\|ΔQ\|_{L^{2}}. $$

Decay Estimates and Strichartz Estimates of Fourth-order Schrödinger Operator

We study time decay estimates of the fourth-order Schrödinger operator $H=(-Δ)^{2}+V(x)$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ for $d=3$ and $d\geq5$. We analyze the low energy and high energy behaviour of resolvent $R(H; z)$, and then derive the Jensen-Kato dispersion decay estimate and local decay estimate for $e^{-itH}P_{ac}$ under suitable spectrum assumptions of $H$. Based on Jensen-Kato decay estimate and local decay estimate, we obtain the $L^1\rightarrow L^{\infty}$ estimate of $e^{-itH}P_{ac}$ in $3$-dimension by Ginibre argument, and also establish the endpoint global Strichartz estimates of $e^{-itH}P_{ac}$ for $d\geq5$. Furthermore, using the local decay estimate and the Georgescu-Larenas-Soffer conjugate operator method, we prove the Jensen-Kato type decay estimates for some functions of $H$.

Scattering below ground state of 3D focusing cubic fractional Schordinger equation with radial data

The aim of this note is to adapt the strategy in [4][See,B.Dodson, J.Murphy, a new proof of scattering below the ground state for the 3D radial focusing cubic NLS, arXiv:1611.04195 ] to prove the scattering of radial solutions below sharp threshold for certain focusing fractional NLS with cubic nonlinearity. The main ingredient is to apply the fractional virial identity proved in [11][See,T.Boulenger, D.Himmelsbach,E.Lenzmann, Blow up for fractional NLS,J.Func.Anal,271(2016),2569-2603] to exclude the concentration of mass near the origin.

The existence and concentration of positive ground state solutions for a class of fractional Schrödinger-Poisson systems with steep potential wells

The present study is concerned with the following fractional Schrödinger-Poisson system with steep potential well: $$ \left\{% \begin{array}{ll} (-Δ)^s u+ \la V(x)u+K(x)ϕu= f(u), & x\in\R^3, (-Δ)^t ϕ=K(x)u^2, & x\in\R^3, \end{array}% \right. $$ where $s,t\in(0,1)$ with $4s+2t>3$, and $\la>0$ is a parameter. Under certain assumptions on $V(x)$, $K(x)$ and $f(u)$ behaving like $|u|^{q-2}u$ with $2<q<2_s^*=\frac{6}{3-2s}$, the existence of positive ground state solutions and concentration results are obtained via some new analytical skills and Nehair-Pohožaev identity. In particular, the monotonicity assumption on the nonlinearity is not necessary.

Remarks on $L^p$-limiting absorption principle of Schrödinger operators and applications to spectral multiplier theorems

This paper comprises two parts. We first investigate a $L^p$ type of limiting absorption principle for Schrödinger operators $H=-Δ+V$, i.e., In $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\ge 3$) we prove the $ε-$uniform $L^{\frac{2(n+1)}{n+3}}$-$L^{\frac{2(n+1)}{n-1}}$ estimates of the resolvent $(H-λ\pm iε)^{-1}$ for all $λ>0$ when the potential $V$ belongs to some integrable spaces and a spectral condition of $H$ at zero is assumed. As an application, we establish a sharp spectral multiplier theorem and $L^p$ bound of Bochner-Riesz means associated with Schrödinger operators $H$. Next, we consider the fractional Schrödinger operator $H=(-Δ)^α+V$ ($0<2α<n$) and prove a uniform Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for $(-Δ)^α$, which generalizes the corresponding result of Kenig-Ruiz-Sogge \cite{KRS}.

Endpoint Strichartz Estimates for Charge Transfer Hamiltonians

We prove the optimal endpoint Strichartz estimates for Schrödinger equation with charge transfer potentials and a general source term in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n\geq3$. The proof is based on using the projection on the scattering states defined implicitly in Rodnianski, Schlag and Soffer \cite{RSS1}, and asymptotic completeness for such systems. The method works as well in the matrix non-selfadjoint case.
