In this paper, we study certain unique continuation properties for solutions of the semilinear heat equation partial derivative(t)u - Delta u = g(u), with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, over Omega x (0, T(*)). Omega is a bounded, convex open subset of Rd, with a smooth boundary for the subset. The function g R -> R satisfies certain conditions. We establish some observation estimates for (u-v), where u and v are two solutions to the above-mentioned equation. The observation is made over omega x {T}, where omega is any non-empty open subset of Omega, and T is a positive number such that both u and v exist on the interval [0, TI. At least two results can be derived from these estimates: (i) if 11(u v)(., T)II L2(0 = 3, then 11(/ v)(:, T)11 0(Q) C8 where constants C > 0 and alpha epsilon (0, 1) can be independent of u and v in certain cases; (ii) if two solutions of the above equation hold the same value over w x {T}, then they coincide over Omega x [0, T(m)). T(m) indicates the maximum number such that these two solutions exist on [0, T,). (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
