Abstract

Let ΩRn,n2\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 2, be an open set. For an elliptic differential operator LL on Ω\Omega with real analytic coefficients and a point pΩp\in\Omega, we construct a smooth function gg with the following properties: gg is flat at pp and the equation Lu=gLu=g has no smooth local solution uu that is flat at pp.
