# Interior decay of solutions to elliptic equations with respect to frequencies at the boundary

## TL;DR

This paper establishes decay estimates for solutions to elliptic equations inside a domain, linking the decay rate to boundary frequency and boundary data, with implications for inverse problems.

## Contribution

It provides explicit decay estimates depending on boundary frequency and data, demonstrating optimality under Lipschitz conditions for elliptic equations.

## Key findings

- Decay of solutions increases with boundary frequency
- Estimates are optimal under Lipschitz regularity
- Implications for selecting measurements in inverse problems

## Abstract

We prove decay estimates in the interior for solutions to elliptic equations in divergence form with Lipschitz continuous coefficients. The estimates explicitly depend on the distance from the boundary and on suitable notions of frequency of the Dirichlet boundary datum. We show that, as the frequency at the boundary grows, the square of a suitable norm of the solution in a compact subset of the domain decays in an inversely proportional manner with respect to the corresponding frequency. Under Lipschitz regularity assumptions, these estimates are essentially optimal and they have important consequences for the choice of optimal measurements for corresponding inverse boundary value problem.
