Abstract:
In $ L_2 (\mathbb{R}^d; \mathbb{C}^n)$, consider a selfadjoint matrix elliptic second order differential operator $ \mathcal {B}_\varepsilon $, $ 0<\varepsilon \leq 1$, with periodic coefficients depending on $ \mathbf {x}/\varepsilon $. The principal part of the operator is given in a factorized form, the operator involves first and zero order terms. Approximation is found for the operator exponential $ e^{-is \mathcal {B}_\varepsilon }$, $ s \in \mathbb{R}$, for small $ \varepsilon $ in the ( $ H^r \to L_2$)-operator norm with a suitable $ r$. The results are applied to study the behavior of the solution $ \mathbf {u}_\varepsilon $ of the Cauchy problem for the nonstationary Schrödinger-type equation $ i\partial _{s} \mathbf {u}_\varepsilon = \mathcal {B}_\varepsilon \mathbf {u}_\varepsilon + \mathbf {F}$. Applications to the magnetic Schrödinger equation and the two-dimensional Pauli equation with singular potentials are considered.
