Unique continuation conjecture for harmonic functions in Lipschitz domains

About 6 years old · traced to

Let Ω⊂Rn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a Lipschitz domain and let Σ⊂∂Ω\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 u≡0u\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.
