The following type of Carleman estimate is known to be true on a certain range of $p,q$: \\[ \\|e^{v\\cdot x}u\\|_{L^q(\\mathbb{R}^d)} \\le C\\|e^{v\\cdot x}P(D)u\\|_{L^p(\\mathbb{R}^d)} \\] with $C$ independent of $v\\in \\mathbb{R}^d$. The estimates are consequences of the uniform Sobolev type estimates for second order differential operators due to Kenig-Ruiz-Sogge \\cite{KRS} and Jeong-Kwon-Lee \\cite{JKL}. The range of $p,q$ for which the uniform Sobolev type estimates hold was completely characterized for the second order differential operators with nondegenerate principal part. But the optimal range of $p,q$ for which the Carleman estimate holds has not been clarified before. When $P(D)=\\Delta$, $\\square$, or the heat operator, we obtain a complete characterization of the admissible $p,q$ for the aforementioned type of Carleman estimate. For this purpose we investigate $L^p$-$L^q$ boundedness of related multiplier operators. As applications, we also obtain some unique continuation results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-03-08T11:08:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42B15", "35B60" ], "keywords": [ "carleman estimate", "associated multiplier operators", "second order differential operators", "boundedness", "uniform sobolev type estimates hold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
