On the Landis conjecture for the fractional Schrödinger equation (Q6039736): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper, we study a Landis-type conjecture for the general fractional Schrödinger equation \(((-P)^s + q)u = 0\). As a byproduct, we also prove the additivity and boundedness of the linear operator \((-P)^s\) for non-smooth coefficents. For differentiable potentials \(q\), if a solution decays at a rate \(\exp (-|x|^{1+})\), then the solution vanishes identically. For non-differentiable potentials \(q\), if a solution decays at a rate \(\exp (-|x|^{\frac{4s}{4s -1}+})\), then the solution must again be trivial. The proof relies on delicate Carleman estimates. This study is an extension of the work by \textit{A. Rüland} and \textit{J.-N. Wang} [J. Funct. Anal. 277, No. 9, 3236--3270 (2019; Zbl 1423.35412)].
