An important result by Agmon implies that an eigenfunction of a Schr\"{o}dinger operator in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with eigenvalue $E$ below the bottom of the essential spectrum decays exponentially if the associated classically allowed region $\{x…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, Riemannian manifold and $V \in C^{\infty}(M; \mathbb{R})$. Given a regular energy level $E > \min V$, we consider $L^2$-normalized eigenfunctions, $u_h,$ of the Schrodinger operator $P(h) = - h^2 \Delta_g + V -…
We prove decay estimates for generalized eigenfunctions of discrete Schr\"odinger operators on weighted infinite graphs in the spirit of Agmon.
In the presence of a confining potential $V$, the eigenfunctions of a continuous Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta +V$ decay exponentially with the rate governed by the part of $V$ which is above the corresponding eigenvalue; this can be…
We study solutions of $-\Delta u + V u = \lambda u$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Such solutions localize in the `allowed' region $\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: V(x) \leq \lambda\right\}$ and decay exponentially in the `forbidden' region $\left\{x \in…
We provide in this Letter a two-point generalisation of the Agmon estimate for Schr\"odinger operators on graphs recently established by S. Steinerberger. It reduces to his estimate when the two points belong to different sets separated by…
The point of this paper is to improve the reverse Agmon estimate discussed in \cite{TW} with assuming that the Schrodinger operator $P(h) = - h^2 \Delta_g + V - E(h)$, $E(h)\to E$ as $h\to 0^+$, is analytic on a compact, real-analytic…
The Agmon estimate for multi-dimensional discrete Schr\"{o}dinger operators is studied with emphasis on the microlocal analysis on the torus. We first consider the semiclassical setting where semiclassical continuous Schr\"{o}dinger…
We consider the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ on a cube $M\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$, with periodic or Dirichlet (simple) boundary conditions. We use a hidden landscape function $u$, defined as the solution of an inhomogeneous…
A local time decay estimate of fractional Schr\"odinger operators with slowly decaying positive potentials are studied. It is shown that its resolvent is smooth near zero and the time propagator has fast local time decay which is very…
We investigate the rate of decrease at infinity of eigenfunctions of quantum graphs by using Agmon's method to prove $L^2$ and $L^\infty$ bounds on the product of an eigenfunction with the exponential of a certain metric. A generic result…
Following the method of Froese and Herbst, we show for a class of potentials V that an eigenfunction $\psi$ with eigenvalue E of the multi-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator H = $\Delta$ + V on \mathbb{Z}^d decays sub-exponentially…
A characterization of the essential spectrum $\sigma_{\text ess}$ of Schr\"odinger operators on infinite graphs is derived involving the concept of $\mathcal{R}$-limits. This concept, which was introduced previously for operators on…
It is known that the eigenfunctions of a random Schr\"odinger operator on a strip decay exponentially, and that the rate of decay is not slower than prescribed by the slowest Lyapunov exponent. A variery of heuristic arguments suggest that…
The aim of this paper is to derive Agmon's type exponential estimates for solutions of elliptic systems of partial differential equations on $\sR^n$. We show that these estimates are related with the essential spectra of a family of…
We consider non-self-adjoint electromagnetic Schr\"odinger operators on arbitrary open sets with complex scalar potentials whose real part is not necessarily bounded from below. Under a suitable sufficient condition on the electromagnetic…
In this paper, we describe the leftmost eigenvalue of the non-selfadjoint operator $\mathcal{A}_h = -h^2\Delta+iV(x)$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\,$, as $h\rightarrow0\,$. $V$ is…
We are interested in decay estimates of the ground state (or the low energy eigenstates), outside the potential wells, for a semi-classical Magnetic Schr\"odinger operator with smooth coefficients $P_A(x,hD_x)=(hD_x-\mu A(x))^2+V(x)$ on…
The paper studies the spectral properties of the Schr\"odinger operator $A_{gV} = A_0 + gV$ on a homogeneous rooted metric tree, with a decaying real-valued potential $V$ and a coupling constant $g\ge 0$. The spectrum of the free Laplacian…
In the present paper we establish sharp exponential decay estimates for operator and integral kernels of the (not necessarily self-adjoint) operators $L=-(\nabla-i\mathbf{a})^TA(\nabla-i\mathbf{a})+V$. The latter class includes, in…
