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 $N \geq 2$...

Mapping properties of the Schrödinger semigroup
The Schrödinger semigroup $e^{t(-\Delta +V(x))}$ for Kato class potentials is fairly well-understood. A classical reference is the AMS paper "Schrödinger Semigroups" by Barry Simon. I was ...

What can one say about the Dirichlet problem for Schrödinger equation with negative potential?
Consider the Schrödinger type equation in $\Bbb R^2$:
$$
\Delta f(x,y)+c(x,y)f(x,y)=0
$$
where $c(x,y)$ is a positive (!) function everywhere analytic on the plane, and $\Delta$ is the Laplace ...

Even and odd solutions for the Schrödinger equation
We consider $2a$ - periodic smooth solutions for
\begin{eqnarray*}
-\Delta u+V(x)\,u=0\qquad\hbox{in}\:[-a,a]
\end{eqnarray*}
We assume that $V$ is smooth and even (i.e. $V(-x)=V(x)$). We also assume ...

How to prove the following linearized operator is positive?
In $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, let $Q$ be the solution to
\begin{equation}
-\Delta Q+\alpha^2 Q = |Q|^{2\sigma} Q,
\end{equation}
and $Q$ satisfies that it is positive, radial, and exponentially decaying (...
