The seminar is sponsored by NYU-ECNU Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU Shanghai.
Abstract:
In this talk, we shall first derive a parabolic version of the monotonicity formula in the same manner as what we did for harmonic function. As applications, we shall prove the boundary null-controllability of the heat equation and the strong unique continuation property for parabolic equation when the coefficients of the lower order terms is time-dependent.
