This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We derive Carleman estimates with two large parameters for a general partial differential operator of second order under explicit sufficient global conditions of pseudo-convexity on the weight function. We use these estimates to derive the most natural Carleman type estimates for the anisotropic system of elasticity with residual stress. Also, we give applications to uniqueness and stability of the continuation, observability, and identification of the residual stress from boundary measurements.
