Carleman estimates for anisotropic elliptic operators with jumps at an interface

Jérôme Le Rousseau and Nicolas Lerner

Vol. 6 (2013), No. 7, 1601–1648
Abstract

We consider a second-order self-adjoint elliptic operator with an anisotropic diffusion matrix having a jump across a smooth hypersurface. We prove the existence of a weight function such that a Carleman estimate holds true. We also prove that the conditions imposed on the weight function are sharp.
