About the Lab

Professor Ih-Young Seo's research lab specializes in mathematical analysis of partial differential equations, with a primary focus on unique continuation properties, spectral theory, and nonlinear dispersive equations. The lab investigates the qualitative behavior of solutions to Schrödinger-type equations, particularly in the context of fractional Laplacians and singular or rough potentials. Key themes include Carleman estimates, weighted resolvent bounds, and analyticity propagation in nonlinear settings such as the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The group develops abstract and functional-analytic methods to unify and extend results across diverse potential classes, including Morrey and weak Lebesgue spaces.

We prove the unique continuation property for the differential inequality $|(-\Delta )^{\alpha /2}u|\leq |V(x)u|$, where $0<\alpha <n$ and $V\in L_{\textrm {loc}}^{n/\alpha ,\infty }(\mathbb {R}^n)$, $n\geq 3$.

On the radius of spatial analyticity for defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations

SJR Q1Discrete and Continuous Dynamical SystemsOA

In this paper we study spatial analyticity of solutions to the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations $ iu_t + \Delta u = |u|^{p-1}u $, given initial data which is analytic with fixed radius. It is shown that the uniform radius of spatial analyticity of solutions at later time $ t $ cannot decay faster than $ 1/|t| $ as $ |t|\rightarrow\infty $. This extends the previous work of Tesfahun [19] for the cubic case $ p = 3 $ to the cases where $ p $ is any odd integer greater than $ 3 $.

From resolvent estimates to unique continuation for the Schrödinger equation
Ihyeok Seo
arXiv (Cornell University)OA

In this paper we develop an abstract method to handle the problem of unique continuation for the Schrödinger equation $(i\partial_t+Δ)u=V(x)u$. In general the problem is to find a class of potentials $V$ which allows the unique continuation. The key point of our work is to make a direct link between the problem and the weighted $L^2$ resolvent estimates $\|(-Δ-z)^{-1}f\|_{L^2(|V|)}\leq C\|f\|_{L^2(|V|^{-1})}$. We carry out it in an abstract way, and thereby we do not need to deal with each of th
