Three Cylinder Inequalities and Unique Continuation Properties for Parabolic Equations (original) (raw)

Optimal Three Cylinder Inequality at the Boundary for Solutions to Parabolic Equations and Unique Continuation Properties

Acta Mathematica Sinica, English Series, 2005

Let Γ be a portion of a C 1,α boundary of an n-dimensional domain D. Let u be a solution to a second order parabolic equation in D × (−T, T) and assume that u = 0 on Γ × (−T, T), 0 ∈ Γ. We prove that u satisfies a three cylinder inequality near Γ × (−T, T). As a consequence of the previous result we prove that if u (x, t) = O |x| k for every t ∈ (−T, T) and every k ∈ N, then u is identically equal to zero.

Remark on the strong unique continuation property for parabolic operators

2004

We consider solutions u = u(x, t), in a neighbourhood of (x, t) = (0, 0), to a parabolic differential equation with variable coefficients depending on space and time variables. We assume that the coefficients in the principal part are Lipschitz continuous and that those in the lower order terms are bounded. We prove that, if u(•, 0) vanishes of infinite order at x = 0, then u(•, 0) ≡ 0.

Unique continuation principle for systems of parabolic equations

2010

In this paper we prove a unique continuation result for a cascade system of parabolic equations, in which the solution of the first equation is (partially) used as a forcing term for the second equation. As a consequence we prove the existence of ε-insensitizing controls for some parabolic equations when the control region and the observability region do not intersect.

Asymptotics of solutions of second order parabolic equations near conical points and edges

Boundary Value Problems, 2014

The authors consider the first boundary value problem for a second order parabolic equation with variable coefficients in a domain with conical points or edges. In the first part of the paper, they study the Green function for this problem in the domain K × R n-m , where K is an infinite cone in R m , 2 ≤ m ≤ n. They obtain the asymptotics of the Green function near the vertex (n = m) and edge (n > m), respectively. This result is applied in the second part of the paper, which deals with the initial-boundary value problem in this domain. Here, the right-hand side f of the differential equation belongs to a weighted L p space. At the end of the paper, the initial-boundary value problem in a bounded domain with conical points or edges is studied. http://www.boundaryvalueproblems.com/content/2014/1/252
