Quantitative strong unique continuation for elliptic operators -- application to an inverse spectral problem

Analysis of PDEs 2025-03-27 v4

Abstract

Based on the three-ball inequality and the doubling inequality established in [23], we quantify the strong unique continuation established by Koch and Tataru [21] for elliptic operators with unbounded lower-order coefficients. We also derive a uniform quantitative strong unique continuation for eigenfunctions that we use to prove that two Dirichlet-Laplace-Beltrami operators are gauge equivalent whenever their corresponding metrics coincide in the vicinity of the boundary and their boundary spectral data coincide on a subset of positive measure.
