Unique continuation conjecture for harmonic functions in Lipschitz domains

From papers

Let ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a Lipschitz domain and let ΣΩ\Sigma\subset\partial\Omega be relatively open with respect to Ω\partial\Omega. Let uu be harmonic in Ω\Omega and continuous on Ω\overline\Omega. Suppose that uu vanishes on Σ\Sigma and that the normal derivative νu\partial_\nu u vanishes on a subset of Σ\Sigma with positive surface measure. Unique continuation conjecture. Then u0u\equiv 0 on Ω\overline\Omega. This boundary unique-continuation problem concerns whether simultaneous vanishing of a harmonic function and its normal derivative on a boundary set of positive surface measure forces the function to vanish identically. It is open for general Lipschitz domains; the paper proves related results for C1C^1 domains and Lipschitz domains with small local Lipschitz constant.
