Control for Schrödinger operators on 2-tori: rough potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For the Schr"odinger equation, (ipartialt+Delta)u=0 on a torus, an arbitrary non-empty open set Omega provides control and observability of the solution: |u|t=0|L2(T2)leqKT|u|L2([0,T]imesOmega). We show that the same result remains true for (ipartialt+Delta−V)u=0 where VinL2(T2), and T2 is a (rational or irrational) torus. That extends the results of cite{AM}, and cite{BZ4} where the observability was proved for VinC(T2) and conjectured for VinLinfty(T2). The higher dimensional generalization remains open for VinLinfty(Tn).


Summary: For the Schrödinger equation \((i \partial_t+\Delta)u=0\) on a torus, an arbitrary non-empty open set \(\Omega\) provides control and observability of the solution: \(\| u|_{t=0}\|_{L^2(\mathbb T^2)}\leq K_T\| u \|_{L^2([0,T]\times\Omega)}\). We show that the same result remains true for \(( i\partial_t+\Delta-V)u=0\) where \(V\in L^2(\mathbb T^2)\), and \(\mathbb T^2\) is a (rational or irrational) torus. That extends the results of \textit{N. Anantharaman} and \textit{F. Maciá} [``Semiclassical measures for the Schrödinger equation on the torus, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1005.0296}], and the second and third author [Math. Res. Lett. 19, No. 2, 309--324 (2012; Zbl 1281.35011)] where the observability was proved for \(V \in C(\mathbb T^2)\) and conjectured for \(V\in L^\infty(\mathbb T^2)\). The higher-dimensional generalization remains open for \(V\in L^\infty(\mathbb T^n)\).
