Abstract: In this paper we study the stability of the unique continuation in the case of the wave equation with variable coefficients independent of time. We prove a logarithmic estimate in a arbitrary domain of ${mathbbR}^{n+1}$, where all the parameters are calculated explicitly in terms of the $C^1$-norm of the coefficients and on the other geometric properties of the problem. We use the Carleman-type estimate proved by Tataru in 1995 and an iteration for locals stability. We apply the result to the case of a wave equation with data on a cylinder an we get a stable estimate for any positive time, also after the first conjugate point for the geodesics of the metric related to the variable coefficients.

Review text

The classical wave operator in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) with variable but independent of time coefficients is considered. The aim is to prove a global stability estimate for the unique continuation property for this operator. Under some very special and numerous assumptions, two main results involving logarithmic estimates are proved. The coefficients in the inequalities are explicitly calculated. As an application, the case of a domain of influence of the wave solution vanishing in a small cylinder is considered, and a stable estimate for any positive time is proved. Tables with estimates for the used parameters and uniform regularity estimates for the distance function are presented in Appendix A. There are large references to the work of D. Tataru in this field, for instance to its Carleman-type estimate. In this context we should mention the paper: [\textit{D. Tataru}, Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 20, No. 5--6, 855--884 (1995; Zbl 0846.35021)].
