A local Hopf lemma for solutions of the one dimensional heat equation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2016
Abstract.
The boundary behavior of solutions of the heat equation (temperature functions) is investigated. It is proved that a temperature function is identically equal to zero if it vanishes of finite order at some lateral boundary point where it attains a local minimum.
