Null-controllability of evolution equations associated with fractional Shubin operators through quantitative Agmon estimates
Résumé
We consider the anisotropic Shubin operators $(-\Delta)^m + \vert x\vert^{2k}$ acting on the space $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$, with $k, m \geq1$ some positive integers. We provide sharp quantitative estimates in Gelfand-Shilov spaces for the eigenfunctions of these selfadjoint differential operators, that is, exponential decay estimates both for these functions and their Fourier transforms in $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$. The strategy implemented is based on the classical approach to obtain Agmon estimates in spectral theory. By using a Weyl law for the eigenvalues of the anisotropic Shubin operators, we also describe the smoothing properties of the semigroups generated by the fractional powers of these operators, with precise estimates in short times. This description allows us to prove positive null-controllability results for the associated evolution equations posed on the whole space $\mathbb R^n$, from control supports which are thick with respect to densities and in any positive time. We generalize in particular results known for the evolution equations associated with fractional harmonic oscillators.
