Boundary value problems with signed measure data for semilinear Schr\"odinger equations

Abstract

Consider operators $L_{V}:=\Delta + V$ in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$. Assume that $V\in C^\alpha(\Omega)$ satisfies $|V(x)| \leq \bar a\,\mathrm{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)^{-2}$ in $\Omega$ and that $L_V$ has a (minimal) ground state $\Phi_V$ in $\Omega$. We derive a representation formula for signed supersolutions (or subsolutions) of $L_Vu=0$ possessing an $L_V$ boundary trace. We apply this formula to the study of some questions of existence and uniqueness for an associated semilinear boundary value problem with signed measure data.
