Dispersion for the Schrödinger equation on the line with multiple Dirac delta potentials and on delta trees

Valeria Banica and Liviu I. Ignat

Vol. 7 (2014), No. 4, 903–927
Abstract

We consider the time-dependent one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with multiple Dirac delta potentials of different strengths. We prove that the classical dispersion property holds under some restrictions on the strengths and on the lengths of the finite intervals. The result is obtained in a more general setting of a Laplace operator on a tree with $\delta$-coupling conditions at the vertices. The proof relies on a careful analysis of the properties of the resolvent of the associated Hamiltonian. With respect to our earlier analysis for Kirchhoff conditions [J. Math. Phys. 52:8 (2011), #083703], here the resolvent is no longer in the framework of Wiener algebra of almost periodic functions, and its expression is harder to analyse.
