Abstract

Let uu be a solution of Δu=Vu\Delta u=Vu on Rd\mathbb{R}^d, where VV be continuous, nonnegative and bounded. We prove that the condition rjxrj+1u(x)2dx0,\int_{r_j\leq|x|\leq r_j+1}|u(x)|^2dx\to 0, along any sequence (rj)(r_j), rj+r_j\nearrow+\infty, implies u0u\equiv 0 on Rd\mathbb{R}^d. In particular, this implies the Landis conjecture for solutions satisfying a sufficiently fast algebraic decay. These results are generalized to exterior domains as well as for a class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations under suitable conditions on the zero set of the potential.
