We consider the steady fractional Schr\"odinger equation $L u + V u = f$ posed on a bounded domain $\Omega$; $L$ is an integro-differential operator, like the usual versions of the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$; $V\ge 0$ is a potential…

We prove that for every $p > 1$ and for every potential $V \in L^p$, any nonnegative function satisfying $-\Delta u + V u \ge 0$ in an open connected set of $\mathbb{R}^N$ is either identically zero or its level set $\{u = 0\}$ has zero…

We prove that each Borel function $V : \Omega \to [-\infty, +\infty]$ defined on an open subset $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$ induces a decomposition $\Omega = S \cup \bigcup_{i} D_{i}$ such that every function in $W^{1,2}_{0}(\Omega)…

We study Schr\"odinger operators on $L^2(E;m)$ of the form $-A+V$ with singular potentials $V$. We address the question posed by H. Brezis about the structure of the set $\{u=0\}$ for non-negative supersolutions to $-Au+Vu=0$. The class of…

We study the following problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = \lambda u + u^{2^*-2} v & \hbox{in} \Omega,\\ -\Delta v= \mu v^{2^*-1} + u^{2^*-1} & \hbox{in} \Omega,\\ u> 0,v> 0 & \hbox{in} \Omega,\\ u=v=0 & \hbox{on} \partial \Omega,…

We consider the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation $-\Delta u + V(x) u = \Gamma(x) |u|^{p-1}u$ in $\R^n$ where the spectrum of $-\Delta+V(x)$ is positive. In the case $n\geq 3$ we use variational methods to prove that for all $p\in…

We study Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ where $\Omega$ is $\mathbb R^d$ or the half-space $\mathbb R_+^d$, subject to (real) Robin boundary conditions in the latter case. For $p>d$ we construct a non-real potential…
