Schrödinger equations with unique positive isolated singularities (Q757727)

The authors describe a class of nonnegative potentials in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\), \(n\geq 3\), such that the Schrödinger equation (*) \(-\Delta u+Vu=0\) has a unique type of singularity among its solutions, i.e. every non-negative solution of (*) differs from a multiple of a fixed nonnegative singular solution only by a bounded and regular solution in the unit ball. This class contains all potentials of inverse square growth but is much larger; a sufficient (more complicated) growth condition is also given. Moreover, it is shown that the singular solution is characterized by its boundary values on the unit sphere up to a multiplicative constant.
