Abstract: We derive the unique continuation property of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. The simplest type of equations to which our results apply is given as $-Deltau=|u{|}^{sigma-1}u$ in a domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^N$, with $0lesigma<1$. Despite the sublinear character of the nonlinear term, we prove that if a solution vanishes in an open subset of $Omega$, then it vanishes necessarily in the whole $Omega$. We then extend the result to equations with variable coefficients operators and inhomogeneous right-hand side.
