We consider optimization problems for cost functionals which depend on the negative spectrum of Schrodinger operators of the form $-Delta+V(x)$, where $V$ is a potential, with prescribed compact support, which has to be determined. Under suitable assumptions the existence of an optimal potential is shown. This can be applied to interesting cases such as costs functions involving finitely many negative eigenvalues.
The compression of the resolvent of a non-self-adjoint Schrodinger operator $-Delta+V$ onto a subdomain $Omegasubsetmathbb R^n$ is expressed in a Krein-Naimark type formula, where the Dirichlet realization on $Omega$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, and certain solution operators of closely related boundary value problems on $Omega$ and $mathbb R^nsetminusoverlineOmega$ are being used. In a more abstract operator theory framework this topic is closely connected and very much inspired by the so-called coupling method that has been developed for the self-adjoint case by Henk de Snoo and his coauthors.
In this paper we prove the existence of complete, noncompact convex hypersurfaces whose $p$-curvature function is prescribed on a domain in the unit sphere. This problem is related to the solvability of Monge-Amp`ere type equations subject to certain boundary conditions depending on the value of $p$. The special case of $p=1$ was previously studied by Pogorelov and Chou-Wang. Here, we give some sufficient conditions for the solvability for general $p eq1$.
We give a uniform description of resolvents and complex powers of elliptic semiclassical cone differential operators as the semiclassical parameter $h$ tends to $0$. An example of such an operator is the shifted semiclassical Laplacian $h^2Delta_g+1$ on a manifold $(X, g)$ of dimension $ngeq 3$ with conic singularities. Our approach is constructive and based on techniques from geometric microlocal analysis: we construct the Schwartz kernels of resolvents and complex powers as conormal distributions on a suitable resolution of the space $[0,1)_htimes Xtimes X$ of $h$-dependent integral kernels; the construction of complex powers relies on a calculus with a second semiclassical parameter. As an application, we characterize the domains of $(h^2Delta_g+1)^{w/2}$ for $mathrm{Re},win(-frac{n}{2},frac{n}{2})$ and use this to prove the propagation of semiclassical regularity through a cone point on a range of weighted semiclassical function spaces.
We prove global weighted Strichartz estimates for radial solutions of linear Schrodinger equation on a class of rotationally symmetric noncompact manifolds, generalizing the known results on hyperbolic and Damek-Ricci spaces. This yields classical Strichartz estimates with a larger class of exponents than in the Euclidian case and improvements for the scattering theory. The manifolds, whose volume element grows polynomially or exponentially at infinity, are characterized essentially by negativity conditions on the curvature, which shows in particular that the rich algebraic structure of the Hyperbolic and Damek-Ricci spaces is not the cause of the improved dispersive properties of the equation. The proofs are based on known dispersive results for the equation with potential on the Euclidean space, and on a new one, valid for C^1 potentials decaying like 1/r^2 at infinity.
We obtain the maximal regularity for the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem in cylindrical domains with time-dependent separations, which is the first of its kind. The boundary of the domain is assumed to be Reifenberg-flat and the separation is locally sufficiently close to a Lipschitz function of $m$ variables, where $m=0,ldots,d-2$, with respect to the Hausdorff distance. We consider solutions in both $L_p$-based Sobolev spaces and $L_{q,p}$-based mixed-norm Sobolev spaces.
