| contents | We investigate the quantitative unique continuation properties of solutions to second-order elliptic equations with lower-order terms. In particular, we establish quantitative forms of the strong unique continuation property for solutions to generalized Schrödinger equations of the form $- \text{div}(A \nabla u) + W \cdot \nabla u + V u = 0$, where we assume that $A$ is bounded, elliptic, symmetric, and Lipschitz continuous, while $W$ belongs to $L^\infty$ and $V$ belongs to $L^p$ for some $p \ge n$. We also study the global unique continuation properties of solutions to these equations, establishing results that are related to Landis' conjecture concerning the optimal rate of decay at infinity. Versions of the theorems in this article have been previously proved using Carleman estimates, but here we present novel proof techniques that rely on frequency functions. |
