Quantification of the unique continuation property for the heat equation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we prove a logarithmic stability estimate in the whole domain for the solution to the heat equation with a source term and lateral Cauchy data. We also prove its optimality up to the exponent of the logarithm and show an application to the identification of the initial condition and to the convergence rate of the quasi-reversibility method.
