In this paper, we construct a modified Green’s function with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator on cones. As applications, we not only obtain the boundary behaviors of generalized harmonic functions but also characterize the geometrical properties of the exceptional sets with respect to the Schrödinger operator.

1 Introduction and results
Let R and \({\mathbf{R}}_{+}\) be the set of all real numbers and the set of all positive real numbers, respectively. We denote by \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) (\(n\geq2\)) the n-dimensional Euclidean space. A point in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) is denoted by \(P=(X,x_{n})\), \(X=(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n-1})\). The Euclidean distance between two points P and Q in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) is denoted by \(|P-Q|\). Also \(|P-O|\) with the origin O of \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) is simply denoted by \(|P|\). The boundary and the closure of a set S in \({\mathbf {R}}^{n}\) are denoted by ∂S and \(\overline {\mathbf{S}}\), respectively.
We introduce a system of spherical coordinates \((r,\Theta)\), \(\Theta=(\theta_{1},\theta_{2},\ldots,\theta_{n-1})\), in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) which are related to Cartesian coordinates \((x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n-1},x_{n})\) by \(x_{n}=r\cos\theta_{1}\).
The unit sphere and the upper half unit sphere in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) are denoted by \({\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}\) and \({\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}_{+}\), respectively. For simplicity, a point \((1,\Theta)\) on \({\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}\) and the set \(\{\Theta; (1,\Theta)\in\Omega\}\) for a set Ω, \(\Omega\subset{\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}\), are often identified with Θ and Ω, respectively. For two sets \(\Xi\subset{\mathbf{R}}_{+}\) and \(\Omega\subset{\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}\), the set \(\{(r,\Theta)\in {\mathbf{R}}^{n}; r\in\Xi,(1,\Theta)\in\Omega\}\) in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) is simply denoted by \(\Xi\times\Omega\). In particular, the half space \({\mathbf {R}}_{+}\times{\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}_{+}=\{(X,x_{n})\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}; x_{n}>0\}\) will be denoted by \({\mathbf{T}}_{n}\).
For \(P\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) and \(r>0\), let \(B(P,r)\) denote the open ball with center at P and radius r in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\). \(S_{r}=\partial{B(O,r)}\). By \(C_{n}(\Omega)\), we denote the set \({\mathbf{R}}_{+}\times\Omega\) in \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) with the domain Ω on \({\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}\). We call it a cone. Then \(T_{n}\) is a special cone obtained by putting \(\Omega={\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}_{+}\). We denote the sets \(I\times\Omega\) and \(I\times\partial{\Omega}\) with an interval on R by \(C_{n}(\Omega;I)\) and \(S_{n}(\Omega;I)\). By \(S_{n}(\Omega ; r)\) we denote \(C_{n}(\Omega)\cap S_{r}\). By \(S_{n}(\Omega)\) we denote \(S_{n}(\Omega; (0,+\infty))\), which is \(\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}-\{O\}\).
We shall say that a set \(E\subset C_{n}(\Omega)\) has a covering \(\{r_{j}, R_{j}\}\) if there exists a sequence of balls \(\{B_{j}\}\) with centers in \(C_{n}(\Omega)\) such that \(E\subset\bigcup_{j=1}^{\infty} B_{j}\), where \(r_{j}\) is the radius of \(B_{j}\) and \(R_{j}\) is the distance between the origin and the center of \(B_{j}\).
Let \(\mathscr{A}_{a}\) denote the class of non-negative radial potentials \(a(P)\), i.e. \(0\leq a(P)=a(r)\), \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\), such that \(a\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^{b}(C_{n}(\Omega))\) with some \(b> {n}/{2}\) if \(n\geq4\) and with \(b=2\) if \(n=2\) or \(n=3\).
This article is devoted to the stationary Schrödinger equation
where Δ is the Laplace operator and \(a\in\mathscr{A}_{a}\). These solutions are called generalized harmonic functions (associated with the operator \(\operatorname{Sch}_{a}\)). Note that they are (classical) harmonic functions in the case \(a=0\). Under these assumptions the operator \(\operatorname{Sch}_{a}\) can be extended in the usual way from the space \(C_{0}^{\infty}(C_{n}(\Omega))\) to an essentially self-adjoint operator on \(L^{2}(C_{n}(\Omega))\) (see [1]). We will denote it \(\operatorname{Sch}_{a}\) as well. The latter has a Green-Sch function \(G(\Omega;a)(P,Q)\). Here \(G(\Omega;a)(P,Q)\) is positive on \(C_{n}(\Omega)\) and its inner normal derivative \(\partial G(\Omega;a)(P,Q)/{\partial n_{Q}}\geq0\). We denote this derivative by \(\mathbb{PI}(\Omega;a)(P,Q)\), which is called the Poisson kernel with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator. We remark that \(G(\Omega;0)(P,Q)\) and \(\mathbb{PI}(\Omega;0)(P,Q)\) are the Green’s function and Poisson kernel of the Laplacian in \(C_{n}(\Omega)\), respectively.
Let \(\Delta^{*}\) be a Laplace-Beltrami operator (spherical part of the Laplace) on \(\Omega\subset{\mathbf{S}}^{n-1}\) and \(\lambda_{j}\) (\(j=1,2,3\ldots\) , \(0<\lambda_{1}<\lambda_{2}\leq\lambda_{3}\leq\ldots\)) be the eigenvalues of the eigenvalue problem for \(\Delta^{*}\) on Ω (see, e.g., [2], p.41)
Corresponding eigenfunctions are denoted by \(\varphi_{jv}\) (\(1\leq v\leq v_{j}\)), where \(v_{j}\) is the multiplicity of \(\lambda_{j}\). We set \(\lambda_{0}=0\), normalize the eigenfunctions in \(L^{2}(\Omega)\), and \(\varphi_{1}=\varphi_{11}>0\).
In order to ensure the existence of \(\lambda_{j}\) (\(j=1,2,3\ldots\)), we put a rather strong assumption on Ω: if \(n\geq3\), then Ω is a \(C^{2,\alpha}\)-domain (\(0<\alpha<1\)) on \({\mathbf {S}}^{n-1}\) surrounded by a finite number of mutually disjoint closed hypersurfaces (e.g., see [3], pp.88-89, for the definition of \(C^{2,\alpha}\)-domain). Then \(\varphi_{jv}\in C^{2}(\overline{\Omega})\) (\(j=1,2,3,\ldots\) , \(1\leq v\leq v_{j}\)) and \({\partial\varphi_{1}}/{\partial n}>0\) on ∂Ω (here and below, \({\partial}/{\partial n}\) denotes differentiation along the interior normal).
Hence the well-known estimates (see, e.g., [4], p.14) imply the following inequality:
where the symbol \(M(n)\) denotes a constant depending only on n.
Let \(V_{j}(r)\) (\(j=1,2,3,\ldots\)) and \(W_{j}(r)\) (\(j=1,2,3,\ldots\)) stand, respectively, for the increasing and non-increasing, as \(r\rightarrow+\infty\), solutions of the equation
normalized under the condition \(V_{j}(1)=W_{j}(1)=1\) (see [5, 6]).
We shall also consider the class \(\mathscr{B}_{a}\), consisting of the potentials \(a\in\mathscr{A}_{a}\) such that there exists a finite limit \(\lim_{r\rightarrow\infty}r^{2} a(r)=k\in[0,\infty)\), moreover, \(r^{-1}|r^{2} a(r)-k|\in L(1,\infty)\). If \(a\in \mathscr{B}_{a}\), then the g.h.f.s. are continuous (see [7]).
In the rest of this paper, we assume that \(a\in\mathscr{B}_{a}\) and we shall suppress this assumption for simplicity. Further, we use the standard notations \(u^{+}=\max(u,0)\), \(u^{-}=-\min(u,0)\), \([d]\) is the integer part of d and \(d=[d]+\{d\}\), where d is a positive real number.
Denote
It is well known (see [8]) that in the case under consideration the solutions to equation (1.2) have the asymptotics
where \(d_{1}\) and \(d_{2}\) are some positive constants.
If \(a\in\mathscr{A}_{a}\), it is well known that the following expansion holds for the Green’s function \(G(\Omega;a)(P,Q)\) (see [9], Chapter 11):
where \(P=(r,\Theta)\), \(Q=(t,\Phi)\), \(r\neq t\) and \(\chi'(s)=w (W_{1}(r),V_{1}(r) )|_{r=s}\) is their Wronskian. The series converges uniformly if either \(r\leq s t\) or \(t\leq s r\) (\(0< s<1\)). The expansion (1.4) can also be rewritten in terms of the Gegenbauer polynomials.
For a non-negative integer m and two points \(P=(r,\Theta), Q=(t,\Phi)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\), we put
where
If we modify the Green’s function with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator on cones as follows:
for two points \(P=(r,\Theta), Q=(t,\Phi)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\), then the modified Poisson kernel with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator on cones can be defined by
We remark that
In this paper, we shall use the modified Poisson integrals with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator defined by
where \(u(Q)\) is a continuous function on \(\partial C_{n}(\Omega)\) and \(d\sigma_{Q}\) is the surface area element on \(S_{n}(\Omega)\).
If γ is a real number and \(\gamma\geq0\) (resp. \(\gamma<0\)), we assume in addition that \(1\leq p<\infty\),
in the case \(p>1\),
and in the case \(p=1\),
If these conditions all hold, we write \(\gamma\in \mathscr{C}(k,p,m,n)\) (resp. \(\gamma\in\mathscr{D}(k,p,m,n)\)).
Let \(\gamma\in\mathscr{C}(k,p,m,n)\) (resp. \(\gamma\in \mathscr{D}(k,p,m,n)\)) and u be functions on \(\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}\) satisfying
For γ and u, we define the positive measure μ (resp. ν) on \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) by
We remark that the total masses of μ and ν are finite.
Let \(p>-1\), \(\epsilon>0\), \(0\leq\zeta\leq np\) and μ be any positive measure on \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\) having finite mass. For each \(P=(r,\Theta)\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}-\{O\}\), the maximal function with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator is defined by (see [10])
The set
is denoted by \(E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\).
Recently, Yoshida-Miyamoto (cf. [11], Theorem 1) gave the asymptotic behavior of \(\mathbb{PI}_{\Omega}^{0}(m,u)(P)\) at infinity on cones.
Theorem A
If u is a continuous function on \(\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}\) satisfying
then
Now we have the following.
Theorem 1
If \(p>-1\), \(\gamma\in \mathscr{C}(k,p,m,n)\) (resp. \(\gamma\in\mathscr{D}(k,p,m,n)\)) anduis a measurable function on \(\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}\)satisfying (1.5), then there exists a covering \(\{r_{j},R_{j}\}\)of \(E(\epsilon; \mu,\zeta)\) (resp. \(E(\epsilon; \nu,\zeta)\)) (\(\subset C_{n}(\Omega)\)) satisfying
such that
Remark
In the case that \(a=0\), \(p=1\), \(\gamma=n+m\) and \(\zeta=n\), then (1.6) is a finite sum, the set \(E(\epsilon; \mu,n)\) is a bounded set and (1.7)-(1.8) hold in \(C_{n}(\Omega)\). This is just the result of Theorem A.
As an application of modified Green’s function with respect to the stationary Schrödinger operator and Theorem 1, we give the solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the Schrödinger operator on \(C_{n}(\Omega)\).
Theorem 2
If u is a continuous function on \(\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}\) satisfying
then the function \(\mathbb{PI}_{\Omega}^{a}(m,u)(P)\) satisfies
2 Lemmas
Throughout this paper, let M denote various constants independent of the variables in questions, which may be different from line to line.
Lemma 1
for any \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\)and any \(Q=(t,\Phi)\in S_{n}(\Omega)\)satisfying \(0<\frac{t}{r}\leq\frac{4}{5}\) (resp. \(0<\frac{r}{t}\leq\frac{4}{5}\));
for any \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\)and any \(Q=(t,\Phi)\in S_{n}(\Omega; (\frac{4}{5}r,\frac{5}{4}r))\).
Proof
(i) and (ii) are obtained by Levin (see [9], Chapter 11). (iii) follows from the work of Azarin (see [12], Lemma 4 and Remark). □
Lemma 2
(see [9], p.356)
For a non-negative integerm, we have
for any \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\)and \(Q=(t,\Phi)\in S_{n}(\Omega)\)satisfying \(r\leq s t\) (\(0< s<1\)), where \(M(n,m,s)\)is a constant dependent onn, m, ands.
Lemma 3
Let \(p>-1\)andμbe any positive measure on \({\mathbf{R}}^{n}\)having finite total mass. Then \(E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\)has a covering \(\{r_{j},R_{j}\}\) (\(j=1,2,\ldots\)) satisfying
Proof
Set
If \(P=(r,\Theta)\in E_{j}(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\), then there exists a positive number \(\rho(P)\) such that
Here \(E_{j}(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\) can be covered by the union of a family of balls \((B(P_{j,i},\rho_{j,i}):P_{j,i}\in E_{j}(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta))\) (\(\rho_{j,i}=\rho(P_{j,i})\)). By the Vitali lemma (see [13]), there exists \(\Lambda_{j} \subset E_{j}(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\), which is at most countable, such that \((B(P_{j,i},\rho_{j,i}):P_{j,i}\in\Lambda_{j} )\) are disjoint and \(E_{j}(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta) \subset \bigcup_{P_{j,i}\in\Lambda_{j}} B(P_{j,i},5\rho_{j,i})\).
So
On the other hand, note that \(\bigcup_{P_{j,i}\in\Lambda_{j}} B(P_{j,i},\rho_{j,i}) \subset(P=(r,\Theta):2^{j-1}\leq r<2^{j+2}) \), so that
Hence we obtain
Since \(E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\cap\{P=(r,\Theta)\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}; r\geq4\}=\bigcup_{j=2}^{\infty}E_{j}(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\), \(E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\) is finally covered by a sequence of balls \((B(P_{j,i},\rho_{j,i}), B(P_{1},6))\) (\(j=2,3,\ldots\) ; \(i=1,2,\ldots\)) satisfying
where \(B(P_{1},6)\) (\(P_{1}=(1,0,\ldots,0)\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}\)) is the ball which covers \(\{P=(r,\Theta)\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}; r<4\}\). □
3 Proof of Theorem 1
We only prove the case \(p>-1\) and \(\gamma\geq0\), the remaining cases can be proved similarly.
For any \(\epsilon>0\), there exists \(R_{\epsilon}>1\) such that
The relation \(G(\Omega;a)(P,Q)\leq G(\Omega;0)(P,Q)\) implies the inequality (see [14])
For \(0< s<\frac{4}{5}\) and any fixed point \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)-E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\) satisfying \(r>\frac{5}{4}R_{\epsilon}\), let \(I_{1}=S_{n}(\Omega;(0,1))\), \(I_{2}=S_{n}(\Omega;[1,R_{\epsilon}])\), \(I_{3}=S_{n}(\Omega;(R_{\epsilon},\frac{4}{5}r])\), \(I_{4}=S_{n}(\Omega;(\frac{4}{5}r,\frac{5}{4}r))\), \(I_{5}=S_{n}(\Omega;[\frac{5}{4}r,\frac{r}{s}))\), \(I_{6}=S_{n}(\Omega;[\frac{r}{s},\infty))\) and \(I_{7}=S_{n}(\Omega;[1,\frac{r}{s}))\), we write
which yields
where
If \(\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\}>(-\iota_{1,k}^{+}-n+2)p+n-1\), then \((\iota_{1,k}^{+}-1+\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\}}{p})q+n-1>0\). By (1.5), (3.1), Lemma 1(i), and Hölder’s inequality, we have the following growth estimates:
If \(\iota_{m+1,k}^{+}>\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\}-n+1}{p}\), then \((\iota_{1,k}^{-}-1+\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\}}{p})q+n-1<0\). We obtain by (3.1), Lemma 1(ii), and Hölder’s inequality
By (3.2) and Lemma 1(iii), we consider the inequality
where
We first have
which is similar to the estimate of \(U_{5}(P)\).
Next, we shall estimate \(U_{4}''(P)\).
Take a sufficiently small positive number c such that \(I_{4}\subset B(P,\frac{1}{2}r)\) for any \(P=(r,\Theta)\in\Pi(c)\) (see [15]), where
and divide \(C_{n}(\Omega)\) into two sets \(\Pi(c)\) and \(C_{n}(\Omega)-\Pi(c)\).
If \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)-\Pi(c)\), then there exists a positive \(c'\) such that \(|P-Q|\geq{c'}r\) for any \(Q\in S_{n}(\Omega)\), and hence
which is similar to the estimate of \(U_{4}'(P)\).
We shall consider the case \(P=(r,\Theta)\in\Pi(c)\). Now put
where \(\delta(P)=\inf_{Q\in\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}}|P-Q|\).
Since \(S_{n}(\Omega)\cap\{Q\in{\mathbf{R}}^{n}: |P-Q|< \delta(P)\}=\varnothing\), we have
where \(i(P)\) is a positive integer satisfying \(2^{i(P)-1}\delta(P)\leq\frac{r}{2}<2^{i(P)}\delta(P)\).
Since \(r\varphi_{1}(\Theta)\leq M\delta(P)\) (\(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\)), similar to the estimate of \(U_{4}'(P)\), we obtain
for \(i=0,1,2,\ldots,i(P)\).
Since \(P=(r,\Theta)\notin E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\), we have
and
So
We only consider \(U_{7}(P)\) in the case \(m\geq1\), since \(U_{7}(P)\equiv0\) for \(m=0\). By the definition of \(\widetilde{K}(\Omega;a,m)\), (1.1), and Lemma 2, we see (see [16])
where
To estimate \(q_{j}(r)\), we write
where
If \(\iota_{m+1,k}^{+}<\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\}-n+1}{p}+1\), then \((-\iota_{m+1,k}^{+}-n+2+\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\} }{p})q+n-1>0\). Notice that
Thus, by (1.3), (1.5), and Hölder’s inequality we conclude
Analogous to the estimate of \(q_{j}'(r)\), we have
Thus we can conclude that
which yields
If \(\iota_{m+1,k}^{+}>\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\}-n+1}{p}\), then \((-\iota_{m+1,k}^{+}-n+1+\frac{\iota_{[\gamma],k}^{+}+\{\gamma\} }{p})q+n-1<0\). By (3.1), Lemma 2, and Hölder’s inequality we have
Combining (3.3)-(3.11), we see that if \(R_{\epsilon}\) is sufficiently large and ϵ is sufficiently small, then
as \(r\rightarrow\infty\), where \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega; (R_{\epsilon},+\infty))-E(\epsilon; \mu, \zeta)\). Finally, there exists an additional finite ball \(B_{0}\) covering \(C_{n}(\Omega; (0,R_{\epsilon}])\), which, together with Lemma 3, gives the conclusion of Theorem 1.
4 Proof of Theorem 2
For any fixed \(P=(r,\Theta)\in C_{n}(\Omega)\), take a number satisfying \(R>\max(1,\frac{r}{s})\) (\(0< s<\frac{4}{5}\)).
Then \(\mathbb{PI}_{\Omega}^{a}(m,u)(P)\) is absolutely convergent and finite for any \(P\in C_{n}(\Omega)\). Thus \(\mathbb{PI}_{\Omega}^{a}(m, u)(P)\) is a generalized harmonic function on \(C_{n}(\Omega)\).
Now we study the boundary behavior of \(\mathbb{PI}_{\Omega}^{a}(m,u)(P)\). Let \(Q'=(t',\Phi')\in \partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}\) be any fixed point and l be any positive number satisfying \(l>\max(t'+1,\frac{4}{5}R)\).
Set \(\chi_{S(l)}\), the characteristic function of \(S(l)=\{Q=(t,\Phi)\in\partial{C_{n}(\Omega)},t\leq l\}\) and write
where
Notice that \(U'(P)\) is the Poisson a-integral of \(u(Q)\chi_{S(\frac{5}{4}l)}\), we have \(\lim_{P\rightarrow Q',P\in C_{n}(\Omega)}U'(P)=u(Q')\). Since \(\lim_{\Theta\rightarrow \Phi'}\varphi_{jv}(\Theta)=0\) (\(j=1,2,3\ldots\) ; \(1\leq v\leq v_{j}\)) as \(P=(r,\Theta)\rightarrow Q'=(t',\Phi')\in S_{n}(\Omega)\), we have \(\lim_{P\rightarrow Q',P\in C_{n}(\Omega)}U''(P)=0\) from the definition of the kernel function \(K(\Omega;a,m)(P,Q)\). \(U'''(P)=O(V_{m+1}(r)\varphi_{1}(\Theta))\) and therefore it tends to zero.
So the function \(\mathbb{PI}_{\Omega}^{a}(m,u)(P)\) can be continuously extended to \(\overline{C_{n}(\Omega)}\) such that
for any \(Q'=(t',\Phi')\in \partial{C_{n}(\Omega)}\) from the arbitrariness of l, which with Theorem 1 gives the conclusion of Theorem 2.
