contents Let $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be any open set. We consider solutions of $Hψ_λ=λψ_λ$, $λ\in\mathbb{C}$, where $H$ is an $m$th order complex constant-coefficient elliptic partial differential operator. We prove that either the eigenfunctions satisfy a lower bound on the inner radius of the complement of the zero set of $ψ_λ$ in $Ω$ of order $|λ|^{-1/m}$, or 100% of the $L^2$ mass of $ψ_λ$ concentrates in a boundary layer of width $|λ|^{-1/m}$, as $|λ|\to+\infty$.

Let $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be any open set. We consider solutions of $Hψ_λ=λψ_λ$, $λ\in\mathbb{C}$, where $H$ is an $m$th order complex constant-coefficient elliptic partial differential operator. We prove that either the eigenfunctions satisfy a lower bound on the inner radius of the complement of the zero set of $ψ_λ$ in $Ω$ of order $|λ|^{-1/m}$, or 100% of the $L^2$ mass of $ψ_λ$ concentrates in a boundary layer of width $|λ|^{-1/m}$, as $|λ|\to+\infty$.
