Abstract

Lavrentiev’s theorem provides bounds for analytic functions known to be small at a finite number of points in a bounded region. An analogous result is established for solutions of elliptic equations on bounded regions in ℝ2 and applied to estimating non-uniqueness error in elliptic inverse problems.
