Abstract

In this paper, we study the extremal problem for the Strichartz inequality for the Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$. We show that the solutions to the associated Euler–Lagrange equation are exponentially decaying in the Fourier space and thus can be extended to be complex analytic. Consequently we provide a new proof to the characterization of the extremal functions: the only extremals are Gaussian functions, which was investigated previously by Foschi [7] and Hundertmark–Zharnitsky [11].
