Strichartz estimates for equations with structured Lipschitz coefficients

Abstract

Sharp Strichartz estimates are proved for Schrödinger and wave equations with Lipschitz coefficients satisfying additional structural assumptions. We use Phillips functional calculus as a substitute for Fourier inversion, which shows how dispersive properties are inherited from the constant-coefficient case. Global Strichartz estimates follow provided that the derivatives of the coefficients are integrable. The estimates extend to structured coefficients of bounded variations. As applications we derive Strichartz estimates with additional derivative loss for wave equations with Hölder-continuous coefficients and solve nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Finally, we record spectral multiplier estimates, which follow from the Strichartz estimates by well-known means.
