This paper deals with the theory of point interactions for the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. The familiar example of the δ-potential V(x) = gδ(x−x0), for which the transfer matrix across the singularity (point transfer matrix) is given byis extended to cover cases in which the transfer matrix M(z) is dependent on the (complex) spectral parameter z, and which can be obtained as limits of transfer matrices across finite intervals for sequences of approximating potentials Vn.The case of point transfer matrices polynomially dependent on z is treated in detail, with a complete characterization of such matrices and a proof of their factorization as products of point transfer matrices linearly dependent on z.The theory presented here has applications to the study of point interactions in quantum mechanics, and provides new classes of point interactions which can be obtained as limiting cases of regular potentials.

The One

The Saxon–Hutner–Luttinger theorem for the system of the one-dimensional disordered diatomic chains is reinvestigated and proved herein by using a very general mathematical scheme. This scheme does not depend upon the explicit forms of the transfer matrices in physical models. The method is applied to the continuous Schrödinger equation such as the delta-function Kronig–Penny model.

AbstractIn this paper we disprove part of a conjecture of Lieb and Thirring concerning the best constant in their eponymous inequality. We prove that the best Lieb–Thirring constant when the eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator $$-\Delta +V(x)$$ - Δ + V ( x ) are raised to the power $$\kappa $$ κ is never given by the one-bound state case when $$\kappa >\max (0,2-d/2)$$ κ > max ( 0 , 2 - d / 2 ) in space dimension $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 . When in addition $$\kappa \ge 1$$ κ ≥ 1 we prove that this best constant is never attained for a potential having finitely many eigenvalues. The method to obtain the first result is to carefully compute the exponentially small interaction between two Gagliardo–Nirenberg optimisers placed far away. For the second result, we study the dual version of the Lieb–Thirring inequality, in the same spirit as in Part I of this work Gontier et al. (The nonlinear Schrödinger equation for orthonormal functions I. Existence of ground states. Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00205-021-01634-7). In a different but related direction, we also show that the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation admits no orthonormal ground state in 1D, for more than one function.

A new twelfth-order four-step formula containing fourth derivatives for the numerical integration of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation has been developed. It was found that by adding multi-derivative terms, the stability of a linear multi-step method can be improved and the interval of periodicity of this new method is larger than that of the Numerov's method. The numerical test shows that the new method is superior to the previous lower orders in both accuracy and efficiency and it is specially applied to the problem when an increasing accuracy is requested.

Abstract In this paper we study the existence as well as uniform decay rates of the energy associated with the nonlinear damped Schrödinger equation, i ⁢ u t + Δ ⁢ u + | u | α ⁢ u - g ⁢ ( u t ) = 0   in  ⁢ Ω × ( 0 , ∞ ) , iu_{t}+\Delta u+|u|^{\alpha}u-g(u_{t})=0\quad\text{in }\Omega\times(0,\infty), subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, where Ω ⊂ ℝ n {\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}} , n ≤ 3 {n\leq 3} , is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂ ⁡ Ω = Γ {\partial\Omega=\Gamma} and α = 2 , 3 {\alpha=2,3} . Our goal is to consider a different approach than the one used in [B. Dehman, P. Gérard and G. Lebeau, Stabilization and control for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a compact surface, Math. Z. 254 2006, 4, 729–749], so instead than using the properties of pseudo-differential operators introduced by cited authors, we consider a nonlinear damping, so that we remark that no growth assumptions on g ⁢ ( z ) {g(z)} are made near the origin.
