Spectral analysis and stabilization of the dissipative Schr\"{o}dinger operator on the tadpole graph

Abstract

We consider the damped Schr\"odinger semigroup $e^{-it \frac{d^2}{dx^2}}$ on the tadpole graph ${\mathcal R}$. We first give a careful spectral analysis and an appropriate decomposition of the kernel of the resolvent. As a consequence and by showing that the generalized eigenfunctions form a Riesz basis of some subspace of $L^2({\mathcal R})$, we prove that the corresponding energy decay exponentially.
