Results and presentation have been slightly improved", "categories": [ "math.AP" ], "abstract": "We consider a version of the stationary phase method in one dimension of A. Erd\\'elyi, allowing the phase to have stationary points of non-integer order and the amplitude to have integrable singularities. After having completed the original proof and improved the error estimate in the case of regular amplitude, we consider a modification of the method by replacing the smooth cut-off function employed in the source by a characteristic function, leading to more precise remainder estimates. We exploit this refinement to study the time-asymptotic behaviour of the solution of the free Schr\\\"odinger equation on the line, where the Fourier transform of the initial data is compactly supported and has a singularity. We obtain asymptotic expansions with respect to time in certain space-time cones as well as uniform and optimal estimates in curved regions which are asymptotically larger than any space-time cone. These results show the influence of the frequency band and of the singularity on the propagation and on the decay of the wave packets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-18T13:21:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "41A80", "41A60", "35B40", "35B30", "35Q41" ], "keywords": [ "stationary phase method", "lossless error estimates", "propagation features", "schrödinger equation", "applications" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
