Abstract
We prove a unique continuation theorem for functions $u$ vanishing to infinite order in the space-time variables at $(0,0)$ and satisfying the inequality $|\varDelta u+\partial _t u|\le V(x,t)|u|+W(x,t)|\nabla u|$ for some unbounded time-dependent $V$ and $W$ on ${\mathbb R}$, and in the radial case on $\mathbb R^n$.
