Schrodinger estimates

Solutions to the linear Schrodinger equation and its perturbations are either estimated in mixed space-time norms or , or in X^{s,b} spaces defined by

Note that these spaces are not invariant under conjugation.

Linear space-time estimates in which the space norm is evaluated first are known as Strichartz estimates. They are useful for NLS without derivatives, but are much less useful for derivative non-linearities. Other linear estimates include smoothing estimates and maximal function estimates. The spaces are used primarily for bilinear estimates, although more recently multilinear estimates have begun to appear.

        • The endpoint is true for KeTa1998. When it fails even in the BMO case Mo1998, although it still is true for radial functions Ta2000b, Stv-p.In fact the estimates are true assuming for non-radial functions some additional regularity in the angular variable Ta2000b, although there is a limit as to low little regularity one can impose MacNkrNaOz-p.

On T:

  • embds into Bo1993 (see also HimMis2001).
  • embeds into Bo1993. One cannot remove the from the exponent, however it is conjectured in Bo1993 that one might be able to embed into

On :

  • When embeds into (this is essentially in Bo1993)
    • The endpoint is probably false in every dimension.

Strichartz estimates are also available on more general manifolds, and in the presence of a potential. Inhomogeneous estimates are also available off the line of duality; see Fc-p2 for a discussion.

Schrodinger Bilinear Estimates

  • On R2 we have the bilinear Strichartz estimate Bo1999:

and BkOgPo1998

Also, if u has frequency and v has frequency then we have (see e.g. CoKeStTkTa2003b)

and similarly for .

  • The s indices on the right cannot be lowered, but perhaps the s indices on the left can be raised in analogy with the R2 estimates. The analogues on are also known KnPoVe1996b:

Schrodinger Trilinear estimates

  • On R we have the following refinement to the Strichartz inequality Gr-p2:

Schrodinger Multilinear estimates

  • In R2 we have the variant

where each factor is allowed to be conjugated if desired. See St1997b, CoDeKnSt-p.
