Popis: In this paper we study the stability of the unique continuation in the case of the wave equation with variable coefficients independent of time. We prove a logarithmic estimate in a arbitrary domain of ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$, where all the parameters are calculated explicitly in terms of the $C^1$-norm of the coefficients and on the other geometric properties of the problem. We use the Carleman-type estimate proved by Tataru in 1995 and an iteration for locals stability. We apply the result to the case of a wave equation with data on a cylinder an we get a stable estimate for any positive time, also after the first conjugate point for the geodesics of the metric related to the variable coefficients.
Comment: The version v1 of this preprint is an extended version that contains more details than the "journal version", that is, the version v2, of the paper
