[Maximisation du déterminant d’opérateurs de Schrödinger sur un intervalle borné]
We consider the problem of finding extremal potentials for the functional determinant of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator defined on a bounded interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions under an -norm restriction (). This is done by first extending the definition of the functional determinant to the case of potentials and showing the resulting problem to be equivalent to a problem in optimal control, which we believe to be of independent interest. We prove existence, uniqueness and describe some basic properties of solutions to this problem for all , providing a complete characterisation of extremal potentials in the case where is one (a pulse) and two (Weierstraß’s function).
On cherche les potentiels qui maximisent le déterminant fonctionnel d’un opérateur de Schrödinger sur un intervalle borné, avec conditions aux limites de Dirichlet et sous contrainte de norme (). On commence par étendre la définition du déterminant fonctionnel au cas de potentiels , en montrant que le problème de maximisation associé est équivalent à un problème de contrôle optimal. On prouve l’existence et l’unicité de solution de ce problème pour tout , et les principales propriétés de ces solutions sont étudiées. On donne une caractérisation complète des potentiels optimaux dans les cas (fonction créneau) et (fonction de Weierstraß).
