This paper is dedicated to studying pointwise estimates of the fundamental solution for the higher order Schrödinger equation: % we investigate the fundamental solution of the higher order Schrödinger equation i∂tu(x,t)=Hu(x,t), t∈ ℝ, x∈ ℝn, where the Hamiltonian H is defined as H=(-Δ)m+∑j=1N ⟨\cdotp ,φj ⟩φj, with each φj (1≤ j≤ N) satisfying certain smoothness and decay conditions. %Let Pac(H) denote the projection onto the absolutely continuous space of H. We show that for any positive integer m>1 and spatial dimension n≥ 1, %under a spectral assumption, the operator is sharp in the sense that it e-i tHPac(H) has an integral kernel K(t,x,y) satisfying the following pointwise estimate: |K(t,x,y) |\lesssim |t|-(n)/(2m)(1+|t|-(1)/(2m) | x-y |)-(n(m-1))/(2m-1) , t≠ 0, x,y∈ ℝn. This estimate is consistent with the upper bounds in the free case. As an application, we derive Lp-Lq decay estimates for the propagator e-ıtHPac(H), where the pairs (1/p, 1/q) lie within a quadrilateral region in the plane.
