Smoothing property of the Schrodinger equation












2














It is well known that the heat diffusion equation



$$ u_t - u_{xx} = 0 ,quad u(0, x ) = f(x) , $$



has the smoothing property.



The question is, how about the imaginary equivalent of it, namely the Schrodinger equation?



$$ i u_t = u_{xx} ,quad u(0, x ) = f(x) . $$



If the initial state $f$ is not derivative at some point, is this property retained by the solution $u$?

  • sometimes it seems, since $f(x)=delta(x)$ corresponds to the fundamental solution, which is analytic
