This page contains  a list of selected publications with some brief abstracts and also preprints that you can download in dvi, postscript or pdf format. Comments are greatly appreciated. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation, as well as by the Simons Foundation under various grants.

One of my interests earlier on was in L2 Carleman estimates  and unique continuation for pde's, as well as their applications in control theory. I have collected together those papers in the Unique  Continuation Page. Other more recent papers on unique continuation dealing with Lp Carleman estimates are listed below.

The notes from the Oct 2012 Oberwolfach Seminaire are here, or you can get the entire book at Amazon.

The full set of lectures for the 2020 MSRI Summer Graduate School in Water Waves, organized jointly with Mihaela Ifrim, are available here .       

Following are some selected published papers, as well as all the new preprints. I have tried to loosely and imperfectly organize them by topic, though several would fit in more than one class. The topics are as follows:
