Jan 13, 2016 at 21:57 comment added Christian Remling Yes, on $\mathbb R$ the $L^2$ theory is straightforward: $A=iD^3$ is essentially self-adjoint on $C_0^{\infty}$, so again $e^{itA}$ is a unitary group.
Jan 13, 2016 at 20:04 comment added Delio Mugnolo @ChristianRemling Indeed! There are several works suggesting that two b.c. have to be imposed on the right and one on the left endpoints; but in these works I can never find a "clean" well-posedness theorem in a "nice" function space (ideally, a Sobolev or Lebesgue space, but I'd be happy even with one space from Triebel's zoo; ideally, by means of a unitary $C_0$-group). Remarkably, the equation on $\mathbb R$ is governed by a propagator that is just the convolution of an integral kernel based on Airy's function and the Fourier transform of the initial data, so a group might exist after all.

Jan 13, 2016 at 18:54 comment added Christian Remling On a bounded interval, the deficiency index is $3$, so you need this many boundary conditions (not two).
Jan 13, 2016 at 18:46 comment added Christian Remling On a bounded interval, $A=iD^3$ has self-adjoint realizations and then $e^{itA}$ is a unitary group. On a half line, $D^3$ has unequal deficiency indices $(2,1)$, so this approach won't work.
