Schrodinger estimates

Solutions to the linear Schrodinger equation and its perturbations are either estimated in mixed space-time norms or , or in 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. These spaces and estimates first appear in the context of the Schrodinger equation in [Bo1993], although the analogous spaces for the wave equation appeared earlier [RaRe1982], [Be1983] in the context of propogation of singularities. See also [Bo1993b], [KlMa1993].

Strichartz estimates are also available on [#manifold more general manifolds], and in the [#potential 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. [CoKeStTkTa-p4])

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, references:CoDeKnSt-p CoDeKnSt-p.
