Carleman estimates for the Euler-Bernoulli plate operator

Paolo Albano

Abstract:
We present some a-priori estimates of Carleman type for the Euler-Bernoulli plate operator. As an application, we consider a problem of boundary observability for the Euler-Bernoulli plate coupled with the heat equation.
