Abstract:
We study quantitative uniqueness estimates for the time harmonic Maxwell system with Lipschitz anisotropic media. Our main results are a three-balls inequality and a minimal vanishing rate at a point of any nontrivial solution. The proof relies on a Carleman estimate with a divergence term.References
