%0 Journal Article %T Backward Uniqueness for a PDE Fluid-Structure Interaction %A George Avalos %A Thomas J. Clark %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X In this work, we establish the so-called backward uniqiueness property for a coupled system of partial di?fferential equations (PDEs) which governs a certain fluid-structure interaction. In particular, a three-dimensional Stokes flow interacts across a boundary interface with a two-dimensional mechanical plate equation. By way of attaining this result, a certain estimate is obtained for the associated semigroup generator resolvent. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.0240v1
