Lower bounds for order of decay or of growth in time for solutions to linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations (Q750733)

Summary: We study lower bounds of decay (or of growth) order in time for solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger equation: \[ i\partial_ tu=-\Delta u+f(u),\quad (t,x)\in {\mathbb{R}}\times {\mathbb{R}}^ n\quad (n\geq 1);\quad u(0)=\phi,\quad x\in {\mathbb{R}}^ n, \] where f is a linear or nonlinear complex-valued function. Under some conditions on f and \(\phi\), it is shown that every nontrivial solution u has the estimate \[ \lim_{t\to \pm \infty}\inf | t|^{n/2-n/q}\| u(t)\|_{L^ q(| x| <k| t|)}>0 \] for sufficiently large \(k>0\) and for any \(q\in [2,\infty].\) In the previous work of the first named author [ibid. 25, No.4, 579-586 (1989; Zbl 0702.35021)], we imposed on the assumption that u is asymptotically free. In this article, however, we show the assumption is, in fact, irrelevant to the results.
