Existence and uniqueness of solutions of Schrödinger type stationary equations with very singular potentials without prescribing boundary conditions and some applications

Abstract

Motivated mainly by the localization over an open bounded set $\Omega$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of solutions of the Schrödinger equations, we consider the Schrödinger equation over $\Omega$ with a very singular potential $V(x)\ge Cd(x,\partial \Omega {)}^{-r}$ with $r\ge 2$ and a convective flow $\vec{U}$. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a very weak solution of the equation, when the right hand side datum $f(x)$ is in $L^1(\Omega ,d(\cdot ,\partial \Omega ))$, even if no boundary condition is a priori prescribed. We prove that, in fact, the solution necessarily satisfies (in a suitable way) the Dirichlet condition $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$. These results improve some of the results of the previous paper by the authors in collaboration with Roger Temam. In addition, we prove some new results dealing with the $m$-accretivity in $L^1(\Omega ,d(\cdot ,\partial \Omega {)}^{\alpha })$, where $\alpha \in [0,1]$, of the associated operator, the corresponding parabolic problem and the study of the complex evolution Schrödinger equation in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$.
