Carleman estimates for the heat equation with discontinuous diffusion coefficients

Pages 1129-1144 | Received 14 Feb 2008, Accepted 15 Apr 2008, Published online: 23 Dec 2008
 

Abstract

We consider the heat equation with a diffusion coefficient that is discontinuous at an interface. We give global Carleman estimates for solutions of this equation, even if the jump of the coefficient across the interface has not a constant sign.
