A note of uniqueness on the Cauchy problem for Schrödinger or heat equations with degenerate elliptic principal parts
We study the local uniqueness in the Cauchy problem for Schrödinger or heat equations whose principal parts are nonnegative. We show the compact uniqueness under a weak form of pseudo convexity. This makes up for the known results under the conormal pseudo convexity given by Tataru, Hörmander, Robbiano- Zuily and L. T'Joen. Our method is based on a kind of integral transform and a weak form of Carleman estimate for degenerate elliptic operators.
