Abstract. Foschi and Vilela in their independent works ([3], [13]) showed that the range of (1/r, 1/ r) for which the inhomogeneous Strichartz estimateholds for some q, q is contained in the closed pentagon with vertices A, B, B ′ , P, P ′ except the points P, P ′ (see Figure 1). We obtain the estimate for the corner points P, P ′ .
IntroductionIn this paper we consider the following Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger equation:where (x, t) ∈ R n × R, n ≥ 1. By Duhamel's principle, we have the solutionwhere e it∆ is the free Schrödinger propagator defined byThe Strichartz estimates for the solution play important roles in the study of well-posedness for nonlinear Schrödinger equations (cf. [1,12]). They actually consist of two parts, homogeneous (F = 0) and inhomogeneous (f = 0) part. The homogeneous Strichartz estimateholds if and only if (r, q) is admissible pair, that is, r, q ≥ 2, (n, r, q) = (2, ∞, 2) and n/r + 2/q = n/2 (see [11,4,9,6] and references therein). But determining the optimal range of (r, q) and ( r, q) for which the inhomogeneous Strichartz estimateholds is not completed yet when n ≥ 3. It was observed that this estimate is valid on a wider range than what is given by admissible pairs (r, q), ( r, q) (see [2], [5]).2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 35B45, 35Q40.
