Injectivity conjecture for Schrödinger-type elliptic growth

About 13 years old · traced to

Let D(t)D(t) be a family of domains described by elliptic growth processes with respect to operators Δ−u1\Delta-u_1 and Δ−u2\Delta-u_2. Equivalently, let gwg_w and gw∗g_w^* be Green functions of Δ−u1\Delta-u_1 and Δ−u2\Delta-u_2, respectively, with the same singularity, and suppose that

∂ngw=∂ngw∗\partial_n g_w=\partial_n g_w^*

everywhere on ∂D\partial D.

Injectivity conjecture. If D(t)D(t) is described by both processes, then u1=u2u_1=u_2; equivalently, under the Green-function conditions above, u1=u2u_1=u_2.

The conjecture asks whether the elliptic growth process determines the underlying operator. The source states that noninjectivity is known for radial permeability functions in Laplace--Beltrami growth, but no such examples are known for Schrödinger-type growth.
