Carleman Estimates and Applications to Uniqueness and Control Theory (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780817642303)

Consists of expository articles and research papers highlighting new results on Carleman estimates and their applications. Focus is on unique continuation, control theory, and inverse problems. New results on strong uniqueness for second or higher order operators are explored in detail. Also examined are applications of Carleman estimates to stabilization, observability, and exact control for the wave and the Schrodinger equations. Includes open problems on the controllability of linear and semilinear heat equations. Of interest to researchers and graduate students of pdes and their applications.
