Abstract

In this paper we study the decay estimates of the fourth order Schr\"{o}dinger operator H=Δ2+V(x)H=\Delta^{2}+V(x) on R2\mathbb{R}^2 with a bounded decaying potential V(x)V(x). We first deduce the asymptotic expansions of resolvent of HH near the zero threshold in the presence of resonances or eigenvalue, and then use them to establish the L1LL^1-L^\infty decay estimates of eitHe^{-itH}generated by the fourth order Schr\"{o}dinger operator HH. Our methods used in the decay estimates depend on Littlewood-Paley decomposition and oscillatory integral theory. Moreover, we classify these zero resonances as the distributional solutions of Hϕ=0H\phi=0 in suitable weighted spaces. Due to the degeneracy of Δ2\Delta^{2} at zero threshold and the lower even dimension (i.e. n=2n=2), we remark that the asymptotic expansions of resolvent RV(λ4)R_V(\lambda^4) and the classifications of resonances are more involved than Schr\"odinger operator Δ+V-\Delta+V in dimension two.
