Approximations for strongly singular evolution equations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The problem of specification of self-adjoint operators corresponding to singular bilinear forms is very important for applications, such as quantum field theory and theory of partial differential equations with coefficient functions being distributions. In particular, the formal expression corresponds to a non-trivial self-adjoint operator hatH in the space L2(BbbRd) only if dle3. For spaces of larger dimensions (this corresponds to the strongly singular case), the construction of hatH is much more complicated: first one should consider the space L2(BbbRd) as a subspace of a wider Pontriagin space, then one implicitly specifies hatH. It is shown in this paper that Schrodinger, parabolic and hyperbolic equations containing the operator hatH can be approximated by explicitly defined systems of evolution equations of a larger order. The strong convergence of evolution operators taking the initial condition of the Cauchy problem to the solution of the Cauchy problem is proved.


Let \(T\) be a positively defined self-adjoint operator in the Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}=L^2({\mathbb R}^d)\) and denote by \(H^k(T)\), \(k\in\mathbb R\), the scale of Hilbert spaces associated with \(T\). The author considers the formal expression \(H_0\phi = T\phi + g\chi\langle\chi, \phi\rangle\). The function \(\chi\) belongs to the space \({\mathcal H}^{-k}\) for some \(k\). For the strongly singular case, i.e., for \(\chi \notin {\mathcal H}^{-2}\), \(d > 3\), a wider Pontryagin space is introduced and a self-adjoint operator \(\hat H\) corresponding to the formal expression \(H_0\) may be defined in this wider space. It is shown in this paper that the solution of the Cauchy problem for Schrödinger, parabolic and hyperbolic equations containing the operator \(\hat H\) can be approximated (in the general strong sense) by the solutions of explicitly defined systems of evolution equations of a larger order.
