For $M(R) = \\inf_{|x_0| = R}||u||_{L^2(B_1(x_0))}$, it was shown in a companion paper that if the solution $u$ is non-zero, bounded, and $u(0) = 1$, then $M(R) \\gtrsim \\exp(-C R^{\\be_0}(\\log R)^{A(R)})$, where $\\be_0 = max{2 - 2P, (4-2N)/3, 1}$. Under certain conditions on $N$, $P$, $\\la$, and the dimension, we construct examples (some of which are in the style of Meshkov) to prove that this estimate for $M(R)$ is sharp. That is, we construct functions $u$, $V$ and $W$ such that $-\\Delta u + W\\cdot \\nabla u + V u = \\la u$, $|V(x)| \\lesssim ^{-N},$ $|W(x)| \\lesssim ^{-P}$ and $|u(x)| \\lesssim \\exp(-c|x|^{\\be_0}(\\log |x|)^C)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-04-10T19:45:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magnetic schrödinger operator", "sharp constructions", "eigenfunctions", "quantitative unique continuation results", "companion paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1212.4085D" } } }
