Approximations for strongly singular evolution equations (Q1876243)

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.
