Landis's qualitative conjecture for Schrödinger equations

For a potential VL(RN)V \in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N), let uu be a solution to the Schrödinger elliptic equation

Δu+V(x)u=0in RN.- \Delta u + V(x)u = 0 \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N.

Suppose that

C,ε>0, xRN,u(x)Cexp(x1+ε).\exists C,\varepsilon>0,\ \forall x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\quad |u(x)|\leq C\exp(-|x|^{1+\varepsilon}).

“Qualitative” Landis conjecture. Then u0u\equiv 0.

This conjecture asserts unique continuation from sufficiently rapid decay at infinity for Schrödinger equations with bounded potentials. The source presents it as the motivation for its dual gradient estimates; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
