## On the support of solutions to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.(English)Zbl 1231.35195

The Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $$u_t+u_{xxx}+u_{xyy}+uu_x=0$$ is considered. It is proven that any sufficiently smooth solution with compact support at two different times is identically zero. Estimates of the Carleman type are employed in the proof.
