Carleman estimates for stratified media (Q537704)

Let \(\Omega=\Omega'\times (-H,H)\) be a cylinder in \(\mathbb R^n\), where \(\Omega'\) is a nonempty bounded set in \(\mathbb R^{n-1}\). Let \(S=\Omega'\times\{0\}\) be an interface where coefficients and functions may jump. The authors prove Carleman estimates for anisotropic elliptic and parabolic operators with discontinuities on \(S\).
