Schwartz very weak solutions for Schrödinger type equations with distributional coefficients

This paper continues the analysis of Schrödinger type equations with distributional coefficients initiated by the authors in a recent paper in Journal of Differential Equations (425) 2025. Here, we consider coefficients that are tempered distributions with respect to the space variable and are continuous in time. We prove that the corresponding Cauchy problem, which in general cannot even be stated in the standard distributional setting, admits a Schwartz very weak solution which is unique modulo negligible perturbations. Consistency with the classical theory is proved in the case of regular coefficients and Schwartz Cauchy data.
