Unique continuation property for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP-II) equation
Electronic journal of differential equations, Tome 2005 (2005)
We generalize a method introduced by Bourgain in citeBorg based on complex analysis to address two spatial dimensional models and prove that if a sufficiently smooth solution to the initial value problem associated with the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP-II) equation

$ (u_t+u_{xxx}+uu_{x})_{x} +u_{yy}=0, \quad (x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2, \;t\in\mathbb{R}, $

is supported compactly in a nontrivial time interval then it vanishes identically.
