Interface Problems for Dispersive equations

The interface problem for the linear Schr\"odinger equation in one-dimensional piecewise homogeneous domains is examined by providing an explicit solution in each domain. The location of the interfaces is known and the continuity of the wave function and a jump in their derivative at the interface are the only conditions imposed. The problem of two semi-infinite domains and that of two finite-sized domains are examined in detail. The problem and the method considered here extend that of an earlier paper by Deconinck, Pelloni and Sheils (2014). The dispersive nature of the problem presents additional difficulties that are addressed here.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1402.3007, Studies in Applied Mathematics 201
