Carleman estimates for the heat equation with discontinuous diffusion coefficients and applications
[ Abstract ]
We consider a heat equation in a bounded domain. We assume that the coefficient depends on the spatial variable and admits a discontinuity across an interface. We prove a Carleman estimate for the solution of the above heat equation without assumptions on signs of the jump of the coefficient.
