Radiation conditions and resolvent estimates for relativistic Schrödinger operators
We discuss the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method for the approximation of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in quantum molecular dynamics. This method approximates the high-dimensional nuclear wave function by a linear combination of products of functions depending only on a single degree of freedom. The equations of motion, obtained via the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variational principle, consist of a coupled system of low-dimensional nonlinear partial differential...
We consider Schrödinger operators on with variable coefficients. Let be the free Schrödinger operator and we suppose is a “short-range” perturbation of . Then, under the nontrapping condition, we show that the time evolution operator: can be written as a product of the free evolution operator and a Fourier integral operator which is associated to the canonical relation given by the classical mechanical scattering. We also prove a similar result for the wave operators. These results...
