Abstract

We study Turing computability of the solution operators of the initial-value problems for the linear Schrodinger equation u"t=i@Du+@f and the nonlinear Schrodinger equation of the form iu"t=-@Du+mu+|u|^2u. We prove that the solution operators are computable if the initial data are Sobolev functions but noncomputable in the linear case if the initial data are L^p-functions and p2. The computations are performed on Type-2 Turing machines.
