Explicit rate of decay of the positive standing wave of the subcritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Consider the following semilinear problem: $$ \begin{cases} - \Delta u + u = u |u|^{p - 2} &\text{in} ~ \mathbb{R}^N; \\ u (x) \to 0 &\text{as} ~ |x| \to \infty, \end{cases} $$ where $N \geq 2$...

Eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator

I'm interested in the existence of eigenfunctions and finding eigenvalues of the following operator $$L(\varphi) = \varphi_{rr} - \frac{1}{r} \varphi_r - [V + \frac{m}{r^2}] \varphi$$ $$\varphi(0) = \...

Understanding a Bessel function gluing argument of Simon

I would like to construct a real-valued function $f$ on $(0, \infty)$ with the following properties: $f(r)$ is $C^1$ on $(0,\infty)$ and $C^\infty$ on $(0,1) \cup (1, \infty)$, $-f'' + \tfrac{3}{4}r^...

Fourier transform of a generalized function on the plane

Is there an explicit formula for the Fourier transform of the generalized function of 2 variables $$\frac{1}{x+y^2+i0}?$$ Remark. Equivalent question: consider the Schroedinger equation one the ...

Change of variables for obtaining a unitary group

Consider the following NLS: $$i u_t + \Delta u- 2 \operatorname{Re} u = F(u),$$ where $F(u):=(u + \bar{u} + |u|^2)u.$ In Scattering for the Gross–Pitaevskii equation, the authors S. Gustafson, K. ...

Duality argument

$\newcommand\norm[1]{\lVert#1\rVert}\newcommand\abs[1]{\lvert#1\rvert}$Throughout my studying for some papers, in particular, the proof of localized Strichartz estimates, I encountered a use of the ...

Nonlinear ODE to linear PDE?

I am interested in when and how one can trade a non-liner ODE for a linear PDE. To explain what this could look like here is a physics-inspired discussion. Consider a classical mechanical system with ...

Lower estimate of the minimal eigenvalue of a Hamiltonian

Consider a linear operator $H\colon L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)\to L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ given by $$H(\psi)(x):=-\Delta\psi(x)+V(x)\cdot \psi(x),$$ where $V\colon \mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous (or ...

An optimization problem for one- dimensional Schrodinger operator

For a potential of the form $V(x)=ax^4+bx^2$, where $a,b>0$, let us consider the one dimensional Schrodinger operator $D=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+V$ with Dirichlet B.C on $[-L,L]$ and denote its first ...

the asymptotic behaviour of function as $\lambda \to -\infty$

Let's consider the following differential equation on $\mathbb{R}$: $$-u''(x)+u(x)-V(x)u(x)=\lambda u(x),$$ where $\lambda<1$ and $V$ is a bounded. We consider only that solution $u(x) \in C^1$ ...

When Schroedinger propagator commutes other operators?

Let $f\in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb R^d)$ (Schwartz Space). We know that $\widehat{\nabla f}(\xi)= 2 \pi i \xi \hat{f} (\xi). $ We define $$\widehat{|\nabla| f^{s}} (\xi) = (2 \pi |\xi|)^s \hat{f} (\xi), ...

Solutions to Schrödinger equation parameter dependence

This is somewhat unrelated to what I normally do in mathematics, which is why it may be obvious to some of you, but I was puzzled by this: If we look for classical solutions on $[0,1]$ to $$-y''(x) =...

Limit-circle and limit-point at endpoints

I was wondering if the following holds: If you have an ODE $$-y''(x) + q(x) y(x) = \lambda y(x)$$ on a finite interval $(a,b)$ and you know that this equation is limit-circle or limit-point at the ...

Spectrum of this ODE

I noticed something interesting studying this Sturm-Liouville Problem: $$ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{(1-x^{2})}\frac{df}{dx} \right)+\frac{\left(n \alpha x+\alpha^2 x^{2} + \lambda\right)f}{\sqrt{(1-x^{...

Zeroes of Sturm-Liouville solutions as a function of the (complex) eigenvalue

Given the Sturm-Liouville type (time independent Schroedinger) equation \begin{equation} \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2} - \left(\mu + V(x)\right) y = \lambda \, y,\quad x \in \mathbb{R} \end{equation} where $V(...
