Optimal three spheres inequality at the boundary for the Kirchhoff-Love plate's equation with Dirichlet conditions
Abstract
We prove a three sphere inequality with optimal exponent at the boundary for solutions to the Kirchhoff-Love plate's equation satisfying homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. This result implies the Strong Unique Continuation Property at the Boundary (SUCPB). Our approach is based on the method of Carleman estimates, and involves the construction of an ad hoc conformal mapping preserving the structure of the operator and the employment of a suitable reflection of the solution with respect to the flatten boundary which ensures the needed regularity of the extended solution. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first (nontrivial) SUCPB result for fourth-order equations with bi-Laplacian principal part.
